s many of you may know, last year California passed Prop 8, “The California Marriage Protection Act.” This important piece of legislation protected traditional marriage by forbidding gay people to participate in the ritual. I think the amendment was wonderful, but it sadly did not go far enough.
Did you know that California has a divorce rate that some have computed to be as high as 75%? And were you aware that every divorce ends in the death of a traditional marriage? Jesus himself said that getting a divorce was not permitted (he was strangely silent on being gay, though.)
The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 10
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.
So, via an attorney who is a friend of mine, I have drafted the “2010 California Marriage Protection Amendment.” My proposed slogan is “Strengthening the Bonds of Marriage.”
2010 California Marriage Protection Amendment.
SECTION 1. Title. This act shall be known as the “2010 California Marriage Protection Amendment.”
SECTION 2. Section 7.6 is added to Article I of the California Constitution, to read:
No party to any marriage shall be restored to the state of an unmarried person during the lifetime of the other party unless the marriage is void or voidable, as set forth in Part 2 of Division 6 of the Family Code.
My goal is to use California’s ballot initiative process to continue our state’s innovation in protecting the sanctity of marriage by banning divorce. I have registered a domain name (rescuemarriage.org), and I have a comedian friend of mine and an aspiring filmmaker ready to go. We plan to collect signatures in front of Wal*Mart, asking people to help protect traditional marriage.
I believe that their firm belief in the abstract concept of traditional marriage coupled with their lack of intellectual curiosity and poor reading comprehension skills will get many of them to sign. We will then interview them so they can express their views on marriage. We also plan to go gather signatures outside of “Faces” the largest gay nightclub in Sacramento. I think that even the gay community will recognize that this act is a good idea. We’re going to conduct more interviews there.
My hope is that this campaign will take off and I can get people to participate statewide. I may even sell t-shirts and the like and donate the money to a worthy cause…like overturning Prop 8.
But to get all of this going, I need to file the paperwork with the state — and that costs $200. I am looking for 20 people to donate $10 each to help me protect gay marriage, because if I spend $200 up front on this, Patti will kill me. If you donate money, you will be listed handsomely on the Web site as a “Gold Sponsor” and a “Defender of Matrimony.” If you donate $20, you’ll be a “Platinum Sponsor” and if you donate the entire $200, you’ll be my best friend for life — (or if you want to hide your identity from the curious, I understand that, too.)
Please donate if you can, and forward this message on to anyone you know who might be interested in donating.
Thanks, guys. Together we can help strengthen the bonds of marriage to the point that they are unbreakable — just like God intended.
California has a divorce rate that some have computed to be as high as 75%. Even after removing Zsa Zsa Gabor and Larry King from the pool — we still are left with a rate in the high 50s.
Proposition 8 tried to make traditional marriage safer by making sure that Adam Lambert and Ryan Seacrest can’t profess their eternal love to one another. Prop 8 backers recognized that gay marriage was just the beginning of a very slippery slope. Next people would be marrying goats, trees and particularly stylish armchairs.
But Prop 8 only attacked the problem from the edges. I’m going after the heart of the matter. That’s why I drafted the 2010 California Protection of Marriage Act to ban divorce in the state of California. If you can’t get divorced, you can’t destroy traditional marriage.
Previous generations had it right. It’s better to stay together in a soul-sucking sham of a marriage, filled with icy silence punctuated with passive-aggressive hostilities than to admit you might have made a mistake.
John Marcotte is a firm believer in traditional family values. He currently opposes government-funded death panels, Obama talking to children and MSNBC's entire prime-time line-up. 
And my parents tried to convince me that Nazis no longer walk among us. Just because your life sucks doesn’t mean you need to ruin it for the rest of us, nazi.
Unless you were being facetious with your “nazi” comment, you really need to look up the meaning of the word “satire”!
Problem is, that the Yanks have done so many weird things, that one could have only assumed is satire, … but they are not.
Between the ones that think the planet is only 3000 year old, and the ones that think the earth is flat, and the ones with 10 wives, and the anti-gay and anti-black bigots, and that dumb Alaskan hick running for VP … it’s amazing that there’s anyone left in the whole pitiful country that even understands satire

Hell and damnation is no satire, love is eternal, not just a week. Protect the sanctitude of marriage and protect the children. Ban Divorce.
Yes. I see how the unending parallels between Nazis and rescuemarriage.org came to you so quickly.
I notice all over the place on this site where they try to pin the evils of divorce on the Jews. Also, the unending rants about eradicating those who are proponents of ending marriage through divorce.
I always said that I thought prop (h)8 was fantastic. Once we get rid of marriage for the gays, the next step is the blacks, then we can end marriage for the Jews!
Love is eternal, marriage is eternal. Divorce is an abomination. A child needs two parents. To protect the family and Gods love eternal we must ban divorce.
Regardless of religious beliefs, kids need two parents and a vow is a vow. If you won’t stand by your word then don’t give it.
I’m a bigot you’re a bigot he’s a bigot she’s a bigot.
(There should be a song)
Back in the day, when this whole ’til death do us part’ thing was thought up, people were only living to about 35-40 years of age. It was practical and reasonable back then. I’m not so sure about now when people are living to 80…
Maybe you should be pushing for an update to the vows to something like ’til unbearable boredom do us part’, or ’til half a lifetime do us part’.
If you can’t hack marriage, don’t get one.
Ban Divorce!!!
That’s also why ‘back in the day’ they had very long engagements… like two years. Hmmm, could it be that it was thought that you should actually KNOW the person you were marrying extremely well so that you DIDN’T make a mistake… or two or three or four? Maybe people would be happier if they got married using their brains and not their genitals? Now there’s an interesting concept, mate!
I am all for it….but it sucks that I have one more year until I can vote. Keep up with keeping up.
I just posted your vid on my Facebook page with the follow tag line: “California: if marriage is a sacred contract between and man and a woman, then it’s time to hold up your end of the bargin.”
It is a sacred contract of our love ETERNAL. Not love for the day, month or year, love eternal. We must ban divorce. If you can’t hack that, then get a civil union instead!
Better yet, just shack up!
Wow, if only I lived in California! I would support this with all my heart. A nation can only be as strong as the families that comprise it, and if those families are crumbling, that nation will too. I am a firm believer in marriage to the same person until death, and I also believe in faithfulness to that spouse. And I’m not just looking at it through eyes of religion either. What happens to the children of divorced couples? Many times, they are scarred for life. I hate to admit that I somewhat doubt the passing of this act due to the ungodliness of America today (especially Hollywood), but God bless all those who support it!!
I love the fact we live in a free country, but how free is it, really? yes I am married, and I don’t ever plan on leaving my husband. but if it doesn’t work. we shouldn’t have to be together because we have to, everyone should have the right to be happy. and if you really think about it, we say our country is better than other countries for example……countries that force their daughters into marriage, at least they get to get married, and here the government is telling people they can’t be married, and the worst part, is the people that live in this supposedly free country, want our rights taken away. they want to ban gay marriage, I wonder how they would feel if marriage all together was banned, they would be pretty pissed. i just don’t understand why the people who vote against gay marriage, don’t just move to a communist county, cause they obviously don’t want us to have rights. and I know people are just gonna think i don’t know what i’m talking about, and I don’t care if you agree with me or not. but it don’t matter what you say or think, cause like me you have the right to say and think what you want, well, until that right gets taken away, and eventually the way things are going, we won’t have rights eventually.
In response to your rhetorical Q, i.e., “..how free is it…”, well, you seem to appreciate that your rights are being chipped away and that maybe this process of sneakily and incrementally (systematicaly, nevertheless) chipping away is expedited when fear and jingoism are used to good effect.
I reside in Canada and some of us feel that it’s pretty much the same here, politically. How long before we rat out our neighbours (we spell it this way, “ou”, yes) for hoarding sugar, for example.
I’m reminded that George Orwell warned us that some animals are more equal than others.
Cheers, though!
If you can’t live up to the vows of marriage… get a civil union!!!
We must protect the family and family values! Ban Divorce!
i agree with u i think we have the right to do what we want i think that they should keep it the way it is but what if theres stuipd teens that just jump into a marriage thats what i think they are more focused on that issue with people just jumpin into a marriage really not thinking about it… this is a free country and i think we should get the right but some should stay the same
How dare anyone even suggest such a thing. In my circumstance, I found out my husband of 22 years was surfing gay internet sites, and eventually moved in with 3 gay men. Screw anyone who tells me otherwise, I got my divorce and got my life back!
Well, good for you! Maybe if heterosexuals would not have a hard time with gays and lesbians then maybe gay men and lesbian women wouldn’t have to feel forced into f aux heterosexual relationships now would we? That, girly , is on you!
this is nuts! i am a Christian and even i believe there are grounds for divorce. The Bible says that there are reasons/grounds for divorce. I myself am divorced. Before you go making laws you need to ask the people if this is what they want and talk to some who have been through divorce and there lives are 10,000 times better now. Talk to women who have been in abusive relationships or men who’s wives are on drugs and they are doing all the work. Basically what you are trying to impose is communistic. Not democratic. I disagree!!!
When you make comments regarding communism, what do you call what we have now? This country was founded by a people who were outcasts form another country because they were deemed by a religious sect to be unacceptable human beings, this country was also founded on the contexts of freedom and tolerance. Our rights in this country are being stripped away systematically on a daily basis by a government who could care less whether you live or die. Your ideals, my ideals and the ideals of of all Americans mean nothing. Our taxes are increasing daily, our jobs are being sent overseas, our homeless population and unemployment rate are increasing exponentially on a monthly basis.
totop tis all off our troops who are injured in combat are basically given the finger when they return home. What is your definition of communism? Where is the tolerance?
Adultery is the only grounds for divorce allowed in the bible (unless you know of some other?), which is sort of silly, cause the adulterer would be stoned to death anyway.
What we are trying to reinstate is religious, not communistic. It is a true biblical understading of marriage.
Biblicalmarraige is fine for you, but your book has no authority in my life.
Biblical laws (spiritual laws) have authority over EVERYONE whether they realize it or not (like it or not).
I may want to fly but the physical law of gravity (whether or not I believe it has “authority” over me) will have authority over me and affect me!
In other words,
Physical laws, spiritual laws, laws of nature, etc. ALL have “authority” in our lives regardless of our acceptance, belief, or even knowledge of them.
gsh – Do you have any idea how circular that “logic” is? I mean, really? Do you have any clue at all how little sense that makes?
By the same virtue, I could make up my own religion, define it with a set of “spiritual laws” of my choosing, and then claim that YOU are bound by those spiritual laws regardless of whether or not you acknowledge them or are even aware of them. The reasoning is the same… and it is hopelessly flawed.
Physical laws (like gravity) are objectively verifiable. Spiritual laws are not objectively verifiable (they are, at best, subjectively verifiable). It is utterly disingenuous to group spiritual laws together with the laws of physics as though they follow identical guidelines. Don’t obfuscate the point in an attempt to feign enlightenment.
This fallacy? It’s like when people say the bible is the “Word of God.” It isn’t, it’s the word of man… only those men put passages into the bible that says “we’re only ghost-writers for God, and you can trust us for that reason.” Under that horrendous brand of circular logic, I could write a paragraph on a piece of paper (or orate my opinion to others), follow it up with “I’m speaking on behalf of God, so you know I’m not lying because He wouldn’t lie,” and it would be divinely infallable.(!?) This is of course utter nonsense! It is indicative of the WORST kind of selective reasoning, and is an anathema to the advancement of knowledge. It’s circular logic at it’s worst.
I’ve no problem with people believing what they want, or in God, but this is just plain shamefully lacking in basic reason.
Oh, and BTW, the bible’s interpretations of divorce and adultery are hopelessly outdated and horribly misogynistic. For example, Matthew 5:32:
“But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.”
So, because my father divorced my mother for his own reasons, according to the bible, my mother (who never cheated on my father, and stuck through that loveless marriage as long as possible, despite misery) is an adulteress. All she did was try to make it work… but the bible says she’s an adulteress (guilty of sin, and in need of forgiveness for that sin) because my father gave up trying to make it work. Worse, if my mother ever remarries, her husband is an adulterer as well in the eyes of God! WTF?!?!
What a complete and utter load of bull****. The bible promotes an antiquated notion that once a woman is married, she is bound to that man (almost) regardless of his actions, and unless he later commits adultery himself, she is defaulted as an adulteress even though she may never have even thought about other men! In short, the husband’s sin falls on the wife, because… well… there really is no reason other than “the bible says so.”
I’m sorry, but the bible simply doesn’t cover the contemporary concept of divorce. All it does it communicate the ancient misogynisms that we are only now starting to overcome in this modern age.
We must ban divorce to protect the children. A child needs two parents. Divorce is an abomination as the Bible says. If you couldn’t handle marriage then you should not have gotten one, that’s what civil unions are for. For people who can’t hack the vows of marriage! Ban Divorce!
Abusers should be put in jail, where they can no longer hurt their spouse. No exceptions. Why do we often treat complete stranger more politely and with more respect than those that we claim to love? We all need to ask ourselves this question. Maybe if each and every one of us treated our spouses with complete respect and displayed our best manners at every turn…. maybe there wouldn’t be a need for divorce. Think about it.
Aawwwww..poor baby!I mean…seriously. You Christians rail on about the sanctity of marriage and feeling that it needs to be protected from the evil homosexual agenda. tell me something, if marriage is so sacred to you Christians then why are you not passing laws to ban heterosexual stripper joint…or banning divorce…or how about laws that jail a spouse for committing adultery? These are things that erode marriages more than say two ADULT gays and lesbians who want to be married.
Let me ask you this: How is my wanting to get married to my same sex partner of 8 years(yes I believe in monogamy) going to make YOUR marriages any more or less sacred? Is it because secretly, you are jealous that we can do what you were taught NOT to do? Oh is it that you feel that we are just copping out of certain responsibilities that heterosexuals get to enjoy like being chained to one or more children who you see as just mere tax write offs? Hmmmmm..me thinks you Christians protest wAYYYYY too much!
I think the Europeans had it right with their suggested solution. Your first marriage should only be for 7 years during which time both parties would be required to become accustomed to each other and work as a team. At the end of 7 years both parties would have one of two choices. The first choice is obvious, if you are not happy then the marriage is disolved automatically, each party takes their personal possessions and moves on. No community property could be acquired during the 7 year primary period, no combining of bank accounts, no children. I know it sounds rough but it makes sense. If after the 7 year primary period both parties choose to remain together then the marriage becomes permanent and no divorce would be granted after this point with the exception of those cases where abuse, violence or infidelity are involved. In these cases the party responsible for committing any of these acts will only be permitted to walk away with their clothing. All other property would automatically revert to the victim. If children are involved then an automatic deduction of 50% of the offender’s total income each year would also be remitted to the victim(s) until the minor children are 21 years of age. This alone would relieve the revolving door burden on the court system. Oh, for the guy who commented on FREEDOM, I believe in it just as much as you do buddy but unfortunately the majority of the population in this country believes in greed and deception. Freedom is not and never will be free, our troops overseas are dying for an imaginary cause, what a woman does with her body or who the guy \ girl down the street is having sex with are not issues our government needs to be spending millions in tax payer dollars debating with no clear conclusion in sight. Our government also doesn’t want to stop crime nor do they want to end “The War On Drugs”. Both of these create jobs and generate millions in revenue. So why would they want to end any of it?
My last comment: In my last marriage I divorced her for infidelity. I am a very successful IT professional with 20 years experience. My previous career of 18 years was as a line technician on an auto assembly line. During our marriage we acquired 4 houses, 2 new cars, a boat, top of the line furniture plus we both were at the top of our game in our careers. I gross income collectively was 160K annually. Nice huh!! She chose to get involved in drugs, started screwing around with another person, ended up losing her job (and never told me) along with several other offenses. Our legal system said I had no right to keep any of the property, I was forced BY LAW to sell everything we had acquired and hand over 50% of the proceeds to her. Afterwards I found out the true reason she never wanted children. Her only interest in our marriage was monetary, over a 10 year period she had a total of 8 affairs and she had been doing drugs pretty much the entire time. On top of all of this the courts allowed her to keep the house she owned prior to the marriage. Needless to say I used my influences to completely wreck her career, I had her busted for drug trafficing twice and DUI 3 times. Now she is barely able to maintain a job as a secretary in a one horse company.
Yes, I will sign the petition.
Your entry made me think of the Grinch “Sweet kid, bad judge of character”
)
I think the answer to all of this satire is simple. Where sexual preference is concerned, tell the government and everyone else to kiss you a__. Where a woman’s body is concerned, again tell the government and everyone else to kiss your a__. A marriage is not a piece of paper, it is a union of promise between 2 individuals where both parties possess a bond for one another that runs deeper than friendship.
Frankly, it is none of my business or anyone elses who you choose to spend your life with, if it what you want…great, go for it. I don’t need to know about it and you sure as hell don’t need my permission regardless of what religion I choose to follow.
As far as divorce is concerned, a prenuptual agreement overrides any court decision. Use it!! This is the 21st Century, humans are not inherently monogamous any more than any other animal. Humans are not inherently honest, we as a whole are brought up to be dishonest in every possible way. It is called survival and in the world of today the basic instinct of any living being on this planet is to survive at all costs.
Think first, if the other party is not willing to enter into a prenup then just walk away. Their only intention is to steal you blind and leave you holding the bag.
Life sucks for everyone, get use to it!!
If you can’t handle marriage, don’t get one!!! Get a civil union.
Ban divorce!
I think the funniest thing about all of this is how many people are too damn stupid to realize that IT’S A FREAKING J-O-K-E!!! Actually, the more I think about it, that in itself is truly frightening.
The bill is real, but its purpose is satirical. More people here know that than you may assume.
The Bible says divorce is an abomination and that love is eternal. Marriage is a contract and vows are clearly stated til death do us part!
Not till next week!
Ban Divorce. If you can’t handle till death do us part, then don’t get a freakin marriage!
Get a civil union instead if you can’t hack it!
Why waste everyones time… just shack up! It can’t be any worse than the alternative!
I agree with Pops Normal, this is a joke. To accept oppression from decedents of people who came from a country that was religiously oppressive is a joke. To accept any attitude or judgment based on religious discriminations is also a joke. Yet everyday people do this very thing, they do this without thinking and they do this with the utmost intent and malice possible. These are also the same people who walk into a church on their religions chosen day and bow down to God and ask for forgiveness. These are also the same people who proudly hold up the book of their religions and misquote every single word within that book in an effort to justify their own definition of political terrorism, just exactly like Al-Qaeda, just like the Taliban!! Yeah, the people in this country are the greatest joke there is. I served in the military and I am not proud that I did, I am not proud that I defended the rights and freedoms of a hypocritical people who go above and beyond to be a worse definition of humanity possible. Laugh it up!!
Defense of Divorce Act (DODA) – Amends the Federal judicial code to provide that no State, territory, or possession of the United States or Indian tribe shall be required to give effect to any divorce between persons of the opposite sex under the laws of any other such jurisdiction or to any right or claim arising from such relationship.
Establishes a Federal definition of: (1) “divorce” as prohibitted between one man and one woman as husband and wife; and (2) “separation” as an abomination created by the institution of radical divorcees.
Amen! Protect the sanctitude of marriage and protect the family. Ban Divorce.
Proof that idiots can make a webpage
It really worries me how many people are missing the whole entire big picture also known as the point.
At the same time it also makes me laugh.
They passed Prop 8, we can do the same thing and force a vote to defend Marriage from the abomination of Divorce. Protect the family and family values.
This should be on Comedy Central. Divorce is a cheap cop out for someone who hasn’t got the brassy ones to stick with it through thick or thin. I realize that in certain situations divorce is the only option. In cases of abuse, yes, the marriage should be disolved. What I noticed in the past couple of decades is young people just don’t have the backbone to follow through on anything. A man gets tired of looking at his wife who has put on a few pounds after child birth and he is off to find another woman. A woman gets tired of looking at her husband who has grown old and tired form working and she is off to find another man. People under the age of 40 have nothing more than a loud mouth and no pride in anything. Do you actually believe that your grandparents did not have it hard, do you actually believe they did not have to overcome hardships that will always be far above and beyond anything that young people today will ever face? The one thing that bound our family come together was my grandparents, 60+ years together through everything, WW2, Korea, times when they had no idea where they were going to find the money to feed their children, infidelity, uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring or even if there was going to be a tomorrow. They stuck together through everything. The reward of everything they went through was having the entire family together for Christmas, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. My grandfather was able to hold my daughter, his great grand daughter before his passing. To this day I can still see the smile on his face, he was so proud. So think before you jump into a divorce court, think about the gifts of life you are throwing away when you don’t stick to your promise, “Until Death Us Do Part”. For the people who just like making BS comments, STFU!!!
I think it’s wonderful! I know it’s a joke, but I’d love to see it pass! The idiots that voted for Prop 8 who are so concerned about “protecting the sanctity of marriage” would get more than they bargained for. I’d vote for it and I give props to John Marcotte for being so clever! If this proposal does nothing more than piss off prejudiced idiots, then I’ll still gain a smile out of the whole thing!
PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE! BAN DIVORCE!
YES!!! Ban Divorce except in circumstances of real, provable abuse! Make adultery a felony, not just for the spouse who cheats, but also the person they cheat WITH. At least a 5 year mandatory prison sentence! Lets also make it illegal to have a child out of wedlock. If the parents aren’t married by the time the child is born, immediately take away all parental rights so a “real” family can adopt it and raise it! It should also be illegal for anyone to even THINK about sex before they are married, and with someone other than the person they are married to!
Come on California! You have already proven you’re oh so concerned with marriage purity! Get this bill passed immediately! The American Taliban is counting on you!
Abolish common law marriage too. Don’t want my female roommate to become a wife I cant get rid of.
PMSL – Isn’t it interesting how we are so happy to take rights away from others, or simply to ignore that others have rights because we do not like their morals or values and do not agree with their opinions and interpretations. But when someone wants to take OURS away…. suddenly we are outraged!
What makes your crystal ball more accurate than mine?
In a society where many do not feel the need to shoulder the responsibility or consequences of their actions, or lack thereof….
I think this website is hysterical and dead on!
honestly, if you for this act, you are against gay marriage. this act is missing the point isn’t it? Homosexuals were fighting for the CHOICE to get married. If this ludicrous act were to be passed, what chance does a homosexual have of ever getting the freedoms that he/she deserves. Anyone who supports this act is really just being a little brat that’s just ruining it for everyone. I see 5 year olds do it all the time where they see what the other kid gets, complains its not fair, then neither kids are happy. In a perfect world the kid would just go ask if he could join the other, but in reality the kid with the cool toy is a religious bigot lol.
Hi there folks this is Carl (the fake Karl Rove). Well I finally did it. I got Divorced. Boy (and I do mean boy if your listening) do I feel liberated! I know its wrong. I know I should have stayed married no matter how many times my ex-wife complained that my penis was too small, but I just couldn’t take it any more. I finally feel free to widen my stance and explore a little more the inner sanctity of the powerful few.
Am I ruining marriage? Sorry, ruining things is just what I do…
The real Karl Rove is a true American and defender of the Christian faith but he sinned by divorcing. If he agrees never to date or marry ever again why then the Lord will forgive him as he works so tierlessly for Christian dominion over the prinsipaliteys and powers of this world.
Oh by the way I buried the news of my divorce on 12/28 so that no one would know. clever huh?
THis thread is comedy!
However, Facts speak for themselves:
Heterosexual marriages FAR OUTLAST AND OUT SURVIVE GAY MARRIAGES
Divorce Rate in Same-Sex
Partnerships In Sweden
A new study published by the Institute For Marriage And Public Policy (IMAPP) in May, 2004, sheds light on the high incidence of legal “divorce” among gays who entered into a registered same-sex partnership in Sweden.
The IMAPP report surveys the results of a study published by Gunnar Andersson, earlier this year entitled “Divorce-Risk Patterns In Same-Sex ‘Marriages’ In Norway And Sweden.”
The IMAPP report notes that in Sweden, between 1995 and 2002, there were 1,526 gay partnerships contracted, compared to 280,000 for heterosexual couples. Five out of 1,000 new couples in Sweden are same-sex. Sixty-two percent of those are male same-sex unions.
The survey revealed a high rate of legal divorce among homosexual couples in Sweden. Gay male couples were 50% more likely to divorce within an eight-year period than were heterosexuals; and lesbian couples were 167% more likely to divorce than heterosexual couples.
According to IMAPP: “Even among childless households, same-sex male partnerships experienced almost a 50% higher likelihood (1.49 times as likely) of divorce during the study period, while childless lesbian couples were three times as likely (200% higher likelihood) to break up as a married couple without children.”
Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.
Another law can state, “Only marriage between two adults of the same religious faith is valid or recognized in California.” so that young non-Mormon women can protect themselves from abusive, dishonest Mormon men, YES! =]
