POLL: Where Do You Stand on Question 6?
Dundalk Patch wants to know where its readers stand on ballot questions.
On Election Day, Baltimore County voters face a variety of ballot questions regarding Constitutional amendments, referendum petition questions and borowing ordinances.
Take Dundalk Patch's poll below to let us know where you stand on Question 6, regarding Maryland's Civil Marriage Protection Act.
A brief summary of Question 6, taken from the Baltimore County Board of Elections' specimen ballot:
"Establishes that Maryland's civil marriage laws allow gay and lesbian couples to obtain a civil marriage license, provided they are not otherwise prohibited from marrying; protects clergy from having to perform any particular marriage ceremony in violation of their religious beliefs; affirms that each religious faith has exclusive control over its own theological doctrine regarding who may marry within that with; and provides that religious organizations and certain related entities are not required to provide goods, services, or benefits to an individual related to the celebration or promotion of marriage in violation of their religious beliefs."

A vote against Q6 is a vote against human equality.

A vote for Q6 is a vote for immoral behavior.

Right - because we all know that heterosexual marriage has always prevented people from fornicating.

The very idea is ridiculous. Society continues to get worse. I guess in 5 or 10 years you'll say it's ok for a 40 or 50 year old to marry a 9 or 10 year old. If they love each other they should be happy, right?. I mean that's what the gays are saying. Oh and let's not forget marrying your pet. That way your dog or cat can be on your health insurance.

I'm not even sure where to start with this, but I think I'll take a swing at it: 9 or 10 year olds cannot enter into legally binding contracts (which IS what marriage is.) For that matter, neither can pets. So the points you tried to make are simply ridiculous. I guess the only thing I can really be thankful for is the fact that there are more rational people who can drown out your ill-thought-out, illogical, irrational, and just plain stupid opinion.

I think 2 consenting adults is a bit different then kids or pets. I voted FOR question 6.
