CA Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban ...

Post by _Rollo Tomasi »

It's being reported on the news outlets. This is gonna tick off the Brethren! Here's a link to one news report:

"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

-- Mike Quinn, writing of the FARMSboys, in "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View," p. x (Rev. ed. 1998)

As they should. There's no good reason to discriminate against homosexuals that's outside of a religious context.

It only took 4 years, but I'm glad to see Prop 22 finally overturned. It was a stoopid law.

What a gay decision . . . not that there's anything wrong with that. *


* Yes, I'm just making a silly joke. The grounds upon which I oppose gay marriage is that I don't think it should be up to the government to say which relationships are legit in the first place including heterosexual ones. I want civil unions for all including even civil unions between two old siblings living together and taking care of each other as well as "normal" man/woman relationships.

Hopefully, it will galvanize conservatives in the election.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of the COB, Packer is upset.

Yeah, hopefully. How dare any court have the audacity to protect a minority group from the tyranny of the majority.

So does this mean they can get married immediately?

I believe the order will take effect in 30 days.
