http://www.bilerico.com/2009/01/interview_with_tony_perkins_at_the_india.phpI went to a dinner sponsored by the Indiana Family Institute to celebrate their re-introduction of a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions to videotape Family Research Council President Tony Perkins' keynote speech and interview some folks. I'll keep posting video over the next couple days.
You'll notice that Perkins continues the "We don't want to say that this will outlaw civil unions" theme - even though the resolution's legislative sponsors both have clearly said they are targeting civil unions as well. Right wing proponents also say the amendment wouldn't affect domestic partner benefits by touting that the amendment mirrors Kentucky's amendment wording. Watch the duck and weave when I point out that Kentucky's amendment did affect domestic partner benefits at the University of Louisville.
