Consider the following facts:
According to the Family Violence Prevention Fund, women are more likely to be killed by their own husband or intimate male partner than by a stranger.
According to The Bureau of Justice statistics, children under 5 years of age are more likely to be killed by their own (heterosexual) parents and caregivers than by a stranger.
In 2004, there were approximately 627,400 nonfatal intimate partner victimizations in the U.S.
According to The Family Violence Prevention Fund, 50% of men who frequently abuse their wives also frequently abuse their children.
According to Child Welfare Information Gateway, as of September 30, 2003, there were an estimated 523,000 children in foster care (because of abuse, neglect or inability to care for them by there heterosexual parents).
According to The U.S. Divorce Statistics
2.5 million divorce each year as of 1997;
50% of first marriages ended in divorce;
380,000 women were stalked by a husband or ex-husband;
52,000 men are stalked by a wife or ex-wife.
As of 2000 1,365,000 married men and women did not live together.
According to WomenSavers research 22% of married men and 14% of married women cheat on their spouses.
The people signing this petition wish to stop Heterosexuals from making legislation governing (gay) marriage until they take responsibility for there own immoral, violent behavior and demonstrate they can repair the sancitiy of there own marriages.
Luke 6:42
How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
The majority of people are heterosexual. Unfortunately many people in the U.S. think that "majority rule" means the majority has the RIGHT to OPPRESS the minority. If that were the case, and our law makers and courts did not step in, we may still have slavery today and women would still not be allowed to own land or vote.
Like so many that are in the majority, it is easy for them to make new laws and rules that have no affect on them. That is what Heterosexuals are doing when they write legislation or vote on laws governing gay marriage. It doesn't change anything for them. They do not have to change their behavior. They do not have to look at their own moral make up. They just dictate what other people should or shouldn't do.

This is just the tip of an awful and violent iceberg. Heterosexuals, though, point their finger away from themselves and blame the disintegration of their cherished institution on people who do not have and never had any affect on their behavior. How can Heterosexuals tell gays they can't get married because it is immoral when the majority of Heterosexuals themselves have taken part in some form of immoral behavior involving marriage (that being divorce, violence, domestic and child abuse or just having a less than sanctimonious marriage.)
The people signing this petition wish to stop Heterosexuals from making legislation governing marriage until Heterosexulas take responsibility for there own immoral, violent behavior and fix the own sancitiy of there own marriages.
This petition will be sent to to government officials and community leaders and help inspire informed discussion of this hypocrasy.
