Hey, I'm still pushing for cats to get the vote ;)
The article looks like more the product of a slow news day, and maybe the editorial board seeking some more letters to the editor; the group sounds (even in their own words) less-than-experienced. I guess in the absence of any common-sense reason why to not allow same-sex marraiges (and without falling back on the religious angle, even if it's the underlying motivation) this is probably the best they can come up with, short of moving to eliminate marraige completely as a government thing. *shrug* Not likely to spur the public's care factor at all; the protests if the government backed off would be much worse.
