CA Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage today (5/15) at 10:00am - Page 33

I never said I disagreed with that.

Neither did I. We said just the opposite, and all along. It's a canard raised by churches as a fearmongering tactic to protect a friggin' word.

If 8 passes (Goddess forbid!) I think we should start a petition to get an initiative on the ballot to change all government sanctioned marriages into Domestic Partnerships in the state of California. Make it law that only churches can call them "marriages". That preserves the religious use of marriages being only one man and one woman; and it makes sure that all couples, be they gay or straight, are treated equally under the law!

(Did that make any sense? I'm sleepy, and I re-wrote it 3 times.)

If 8 passes it will immediately (the same day) be challenged and enjoined in court. I seem to recall there is a problem with the language that makes it a Constitutional revision, not an amendment, which may not be done through the initiative process.

Ah, found it. That effort seems to be on hold right now but be assured it will be mounted again should the initiative actually pass.

I keep checking to see if LoT makes it on their list of links to the blog. No luck yet.

Hmmm, I can't find the the individual one ... but This is a pastiche of the various PSA's produced by LoveHonorCherish, and Joe's is in the mix, including the cutie patootie head shot of Cherny posted above.

(Joe didn't say much during the full version ... I think it was the quietest I've ever seen him be.)

Oh, is THAT what happened? I just thought it was because I was sitting with all of these handsome men! :giggle:

Some of the pro-8 pieces I've seen lately, including one on Farmer McGregor's web site, seem to have abandoned arguments about the sanctity or definition of marriage in favor of an attack on gay parenting.
