This is from "New Jersey Lawyer," a weekly publication of the NJ State Bar Association:
WASHINGTON BILL TAKES GAY-MARRIAGE OPPONENTS AT THEIR WORD
A foolish consistency no longer is just the hobgoblin of small minds; now it's also the sword of gay rights. Last year the Washington state Supreme Court ruled the legislature could ban gay marriage because it has a legitimate interest in preserving marriage as a vessel for procreation. OK, gay rights advocates say, then put your mommy where your mouth is. They've succeeded in launching an initiative to annul all marriages that don't produce children within three years and to criminalize the receipt of legal benefits by those partners whose marriage has been annulled. If it receives 224,800 signatures by July 6, it will be on the ballot in November. 2-8-07
The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
