A proposed amendment to Florida’s State Constitution effectively banning same-sex marriages is likely to fail on the ballot this November. According to a new poll, the ban is only receiving 55% support from likely voters, short of the 60% it needs to pass into law. It’s interesting to me that in this instance progress is being made by inaction rather than action. It’s not necessarily the work of the HRC or GLAAD, but the technicality of having too few votes. I guess if this is the way that progress is being made at this point, I’ll take it. That’s not to say I’m happy about it, however. I don’t know how many times I can say this, but in the year 2008 I feel it’s time that America starts to embrace marriage equality for everyone. I mean, they did it in Canada. Are we really going to allow ourselves to be upstaged by Canada?
