The recent press about the conservative moment to ban gay
marriage
(http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/25/politics/25marriage.html)
shows that the push for a federal ban is not over. Anyone
who sees the injustice of this ban can step forward and take
charge of the debate.

Names have a lot of power. An estate tax seems more
acceptable than a death tax. The way that we, the LGBTQ
community, its supporters and its allies refer to this
amendment will help shape debate.

Any amendment to the Constitution to restrict marriage, deny
children two legal parents, and deny families the
other "incidents" such as access to health care and
inheritance rights is a movement against countless families.

This amendment, at its core, is anti-family and its name
should reflect this. I invite everyone to refer to it as the
anti-family amendment. If you like this idea, please forward
this email to other interested people or post it to your
blog. Please help get the word out.
