The Hypocrisy Files: The Unchanging Definition of Marriage

“Opponents of Washington State’s new marriage-equality law submitted enough signatures today to bring the measure to the ballot box in November. The signatures were submitted just one day before the new law was to take effect. …

“‘The current definition of marriage works and has worked,’ said [Preserve Marriage Washington]‘s Joseph Backholm.

“Apparently Backholm never heard about when divorce was nearly impossible, when blacks couldn’t marry whites, or when a man could legally rape a woman if they were husband and wife.”
