House Rejects Amendment Banning Polygamy

- USA Today: "House rejects measure on polygamist marriage"
- New York Times: "House G.O.P. Lacks Votes for Amendment Banning Polygamy"
- Seattle Times: "House rejects polygamy ban"
- The Columbian (Vancouver, WA): "House rejects proposed constitutional ban on polygamist marriage", page A2

Of course, the preceding headlines were never published. Instead, these paper's headlines read:

- USA Today: "House rejects measure on same-sex marriage"
- New York Times: "House G.O.P. Lacks Votes for Amendment Banning Gay Marriage"
- Seattle Times: "House rejects gay-marriage ban"
- The Columbian (Vancouver, WA): "House rejects proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage", page A2

The Federal Marriage Amendment (House Resolution 56) reads as follows:

"SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a
man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor
state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the
legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups."

If marriage is limited to a man and a woman then polygamy and plural marriages (polyamory) would also be excluded. So why do the headlines not state that. Because most same-sex marriage advocates have no problems banning polygamy and polyamory. That discrimination is perfectly fine with them.

So they create headlines that try to paint a particular group as being targeted; as victims. In fact, Rep. Barney Frank said proponents of the amendment are motivated by “a dislike of those of us who are gay and lesbian.”

If that is true then proponents must also be motivated by a dislike of polygamists and polyamourists.

Of course, Rep. Frank and all those who cry for marriage equality don't actually care about marriage equality. They care about elevating homosexual relationships to the same level as heterosexual relationships.

The phrase "Marriage equality" is just an appealing sound bite designed to draw the masses to their side without actually revealing the true objective of same-sex marriage advocates. Or for that matter, revealing the bigotry in their own hearts.
