This whole marriage amendment discussion makes me very suspicious. On the one hand, it is supposedly so urgent that it had to be put on the ballot right away, though even its own patron, Delegate Marshall, thought that the language wasn’t right. We are supposed to think that the sky is falling and that marriage as we know it will end unless we vote for this murky, unreadable bit of prose.
