What about 'husband' and 'wife'

don't gay-haters understand?

Scott Walker, in a statement on why we need a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages, accidentally explains why we don't need such an amendment. Walker says:
"Current law already defines marriage as between a husband and a wife."
In their zeal to punish gays for being gay, Walker and the right want to go beyond banning gay marriages and deny gay couples other legal rights -- even those bargained by public employee unions in Madison and Milwaukee to provide health benefits.

They want us to believe that some liberal, activist Wisconsin court -- remember, we elect judges in Wisconsin -- is going to rule someday that "husband" and "wife" don't mean "man" and "woman."

I've said it before and will continue to say it as this shameful campaign continues. This constitutional amendment is worse than discrimination. It's a hate crime.

Does that mean that, if the amendment passes, you will then consider the Wisconsin Constitution a hate crime committed by the electorate?

Speaking for myself, yeah, I will.
