No one has yet told me how allowing gays to marry is going to affect my marriage or theirs, for that matter. If they love each other, let them get married. It's none of your business.
Sure, those decisions will only embolden an already very angry electorate.
The biggest ouch will come from the Democratic Party , the morning after election day.
The teabaggers already are angry because a black man was elected as president. But, they are a clueless anti-Constitution minority. Their presence is embarrassing, their premise is obtuse, and their impact is non-existent. Go America!
A judge who judged strictly the letter of the law, not by his own personal beliefs, political views or by religion. That is a good judge. It is really up to the church to decide in ones own faith, if they choose or not choose to marry. Are human beings now corporations? Who has ever heard of such a thing? That is not good for any judge who did this, I ask? Human beings are now a corporation? How foolish is that law?
A federal judge overturned the will of the majority of voters in California, because he thinks it wrong.
No a federal judge determined in his expert legal opinion that a law was a violation of the constitution.
I am extremely pleased by the decision of U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker to overturn Proposition 8. This is a victory for human rights and the U.S. Constitution. I look forward to the day when people across our country, regardless of their sexual identity or orientation, can enjoy their full rights.
Gay and lesbian couples have long struggled for acceptance and the ability to marry the person they love and want to build a family with. Today's landmark ruling declaring Proposition 8 unconstitutional is a testament to the fundamentals on which this great country was built and validates that the discrimination gay couples face must come to an end. We as a society should be embracing these couples and helping them make the lifelong commitment to each other that many of us straight people take for granted each and every day. This decision is a major step in the right direction towards equality.
Today, equality prevailed over discrimination in California.
We know that this is not the end of the court battle over the discriminatory Proposition 8, but today’s federal-level court ruling clearly stating the unconstitutionality of denying gay and lesbian couples the right to marry is an historic milestone for the marriage equality movement.
Here in Washington, we’ve faced down similar discriminatory attempts to deny gay and lesbian couples domestic partnership rights at the ballot box, and we’ve succeeded. We have yet to reach the final goal of marriage equality, but we are continuing to build the way there by winning the hearts and minds of lawmakers and citizens across the state.
Fantastic. While I myself am not gay, I applaud the efforts undertaken to help end this bigoted law.
Far out, man. Far-fucking-out.
