Ballot Measure Would Have Heterosexual Couples To Have Children

Within 3 years of have their marriages annulled.

The Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance acknowledged on its Web site that the initiative was "absurd" but hoped the idea prompts "discussion about the many misguided assumptions" underlying a state Supreme Court ruling that upheld a ban on same-sex marriage.

The measure would require couples to prove they can have children to get a marriage license. Couples who do not have children within three years could have their marriages annulled.


All other marriages would be defined as "unrecognized," making those couples ineligible for marriage benefits.

My wife and I don't have children because we wanted to get our careers going so we could give our future children a solid financial foundation which they could be raised upon. I grew up very poor and I don't want my children to have to go through what I did. So my wife and I's marriage would be annulled under this measure.

Personally, I could give a rats ass if gay people get married. Who are they hurting if they do get married? I know many gay people within my personal life and I have no problem if they introduce me to their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. What they do in their house isn't my business.

As a side note to gay people, please don't introduce me to your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife as your "partner". That word can be misunderstood in many ways such as business partner, or when you call your friend "partner" in the cowboyish way. Just introduce me to them as your boyfriend or girlfriend. I won't get offended and you'll still get the friendly handshake and polite conversation that you would if you were any other person on the planet.
