DENVER -- Two of the West's most influential power brokers are headed for a turf war in November over Colorado's proposed constitutional amendment affirming traditional marriage.

On the left is Tim Gill, the homosexual software multimillionaire and Democratic activist who is dedicating his fortune earned as founder of Quark Inc., to advancing homosexual rights.

On the right is James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs and the go-to guy for religious conservatives on issues ranging from stem-cell research to Supreme Court nominees.

I would love to see the public outcry if a state decided to simply stop recognizing marriage altogether.



The people that listen to James Dobson and his ilk will get married regardless of law, as will the people that listen to Tim Gill and his ilk. So what this is really about is forcing the gov't to pick a side. The gov't shouldn't be about picking sides within its own electorate. Marriage as a legal term is meaningless and should be scrapped.

It's a shame all that money isn't going towards something good. I quess we'll be seeing more of those "FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY" bumper stickers pretty soon! :wah:
