Amendment 2 does the following:

1. States as true marriage equals one man one woman. Reiterates the current status of marriage in Florida thus covers no new ground.

2. Declares equivalent legal unions invalid. This is the real thrust of the amendment.

Proponents say this protects marriage. I say it attacks legal unions. A non-marriage legal union of one man and one woman will be declared illegal. This denies legal protection for partners in a common law partnership. The not-so-hidden agenda is the attack on legal unions of two men or two women.

This bigotry plain and simple. If this is Christian “do unto others” I am ashamed to call myself Christian.
