Since Indiana has more churches than schools, none of this should be a surprise. Opponents of same-sex marriage plan to try again to amend Indiana’s constitution to prohibit gay marriage:
The new proposed amendment states: "Only a marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in Indiana.
A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized."
In previous legislative sessions, the proposed amendment stated: "Marriage in Indiana consists only of the union of one man and one woman.
This constitution or any other Indiana law may not be construed to require that the marital status or the
legal incidents of marriage be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups."
Turner said that the changed language is meant to be clearer. It would not bar domestic partnerships, he said, but would bar civil unions.
Note the language used here: "A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for
unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized." It doesn't matter if the Indiana LGBT community calls it "marriage" or not,
Indiana bible bangers don't want gay couples to have any legal recognition at all. Sounds like a buncha hateful "Christians" to me.
Indiana, a no-fault divorce state (meaning you don't have to prove that either person did anything wrong in order to get a divorce),
doesn't track its divorce rates.
I find that
quite interesting. That certainly doesn't mean that people don't get divorced in Indiana.
It simply means bible bangers don't want documented proof that
divorce actually happens in Indiana.
