From the Sun-Sentinel.com.
Adelle Barsky-Moore is 5, and she doesn’t know about wedge politics and the Culture War. All she knows is that she loves her two dads and they love her.
Her parents, Allan Barsky and Greg Moore, have been together 10 years. They were married in Canada, Barsky’s native country, in 2003. They wear wedding bands, are registered domestic partners in Broward and live in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
Barsky, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, is opposed to Amendment 2 on the November ballot. It would constitutionally define marriage in Florida as between a man and woman. It states, “No other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.”

Arizona Representative Krysten Sinema worked to defeat the anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment proposal that was on the ballot in Arizona back in 2006.
John McCain is on record as supporting the proposed anti-gay marriage amendments that will be on the ballot in Arizona, California and Florida this November.
Senator Barack Obama on the other hand, is on record as opposing these all three Propositions that would be devistating not only to the GLBT community, but to civil rights advancement in our nation.
Proposition 102 in Arizona, and Proposition 8 in California are directly aimed at preventing GLBT people from having rights as equal citizens. Florida’s Propostition 2 not only affects gay couples, but affects all un-married citizens including the huge population of retired straight couples who reside with each other.

Governor Crist Supports Florida’s Gay Marriage Ban
August 5, 2008 by James Hipps · Leave a Comment
On Monday, Crist said he supported Amendment Two which would constitutionally ban gay marriage in the state. Such unions are already illegal in Florida and Crist has previously shied away from the issue, saying he has a “live and let live” attitude.
Is he a supporter of PFOX, or does he still not know he’s gay?
