I’m recommending a YES vote on the Defense of Marriage Amendment. Society as a whole has decided that the civil institution of marriage should follow the Christian institution of marriage, which says that marriage is between one man and one woman. Though the civil institution does fall short of the institution established by God, it is the closest we can get.
Beyond that, I strongly oppose change instituted by no more than 7 Lawgivers-In-Black. Passage of this amendment would cut them and only them out of the equation of future changes, as the state Constitution can be and often is amended by majority votes of 2 consecutive Legislatures and the majority of voters in an election, and those amendments often rewrite and strike out existing portions of said Constitution. Failure of this amendment would be all the green light the Wisconsin State Supreme Court will need to use a case already in the court system to impose homosex marriage from on high.
