Large Majority of Mass. Citizens Against Gay Marriage, but Frustrated Because of Lack of Leadership

By Attorney J. Edward Pawlick

            The vast majority of Mass. citizens oppose “gay marriage,” but there’s no meaningful leadership to be found in the establishment, and therefore, no way for citizens to express their frustrations:

            ● About 2/3 of the citizens oppose homosexual “marriage.”

            ● 92% believe teenagers should not be encouraged to be sexually active, whether heterosexual or homosexual (according to a poll of 600 Massachusetts voters taken in 2000).

            ● Therefore, our state government is working against the desires of the citizens, both in our schools and concerning  “gay marriage.”

            This is why Pinch Sulzberger (the inheritor of the New York Times and Boston Globe) says citizens must not be allowed vote on this issue. He knows he will lose if that happens. Therefore he has proclaimed that this is a “civil rights” issue to be decided by the courts, i.e. the seven lawyers on the Supreme Judicial Court. But three of those lawyer/judges (all liberals) argued in their vote that Chief Justice Margaret Marshall and the other three judges who voted with her are violating the Constitution when they say that this is a “civil rights” issue. Those judges do not have the power to take that decision away from the people in a democracy, is the passionate warning of the three who do not slavishly obey Margaret Marshall.

            We now have gay “marriage” only because we conservatives have done a terrible job of explaining all of this to the citizens. Instead, we have told everyone this is a “religious” issue.
