Anti-gays to sue over changed wording of California marriage repeal amendment

Anti-gays to sue over changed wording of California marriage repeal amendment
Apparently a little truth goes way too far for the anti-gay bigots of the religious right. They don't want voters in California to know that their ballot measure would repeal thousands of marriages of gay couples, so they're ticked that the state attorney general's office changed the wording of the description of the measure in order to explain exactly what the measure does - it doesn't define marriage as between a man and a woman, it repeals the marriages of gay couples. As Joe has noted before, the fundies are afraid to tell voters the truth because they know people don't support their extreme, intolerant views. So they sugar coat their initiatives, hoping to fool the voters with talk of traditional marriage and family values. Why can't they just tell the voters up front what the impact of the proposed legislation is and let the voters decide what they want to do? Because if they did, they'd lose. America isn't nearly as hateful as the homophobes running the religious right.
