CA Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage today (5/15) at 10:00am - Page 39

Oh, yes, this makes me so happy ... but I gotta say I'm also deathy afraid Prop H8TE is moving towards passage in California, and it will take many more years of court battle to reverse that.

Legal Gay Marriage in the United States as a whole is decades away. I many not live to see it.

I do not think I will live to see it. Too many people need to die off for that to happen.

People aren't going to give up a right now that they're getting it. The fight will continue until it's won.

The EQCA is coming out with a series of 3 ads to counter the lies of the Yes on 8 people (you know, the ads where they talk about how children will be taught gay marriage in kindergarten, how clergy will be sued for not performing gay marriages, etc.).

People are so stupid... first off, we HAVE gay marriage in California already, and NONE of those things are happening, so that might tip one off that the ads are lies. Not to mention the fact that neither the education code nor the proposition states anything about teaching gay marriages. Or that the CA Supreme Court decision specifically says that clergy do not have to perform gay marriages. Or that the other things that they are saying in the commercial were going to be in the ballot description, but were ruled off the ballot by a judge because they weren't true. (Unfortunately, they can say whatever the f they want in a commercial)

These fVcking Mormons (sorry people, gloves are off, the Mormon Church can suck my left testicle, I have as much respect for them as I do the KKK) keep talking about these "activist judges" that make these "homosexual agenda" decisions...

Ummmm excuse me?

Who wrote the California ruling? Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Ronald George, a conservative Republican is now an activist judge? Interpreting the State Constitution isn't "making law" it is... interpreting the constitution. Which is what judges are supposed do do.

I'm going to a fundraiser this Sunday. I need to do more, because if we lose the right to marry and I don't do more than I've done, I'll feel horribly guilty about it.

Sorry, but someone saying they're voting yes is like calling me a faggot to my face.

There is a No on 8 fundraiser at the old Boom Boom Room in Laguna tonight. I don't know any more than that though.

Two of the nicest people I know in the world are Mormons, and they are in fact 2 of my 3 co-hosts at an upcoming major event. I haven't said a word to them, because I seriously fear their answers might mean that I might not be able to bear working with them on this mega-project, and I just cannot chance that happening right now.

But ... being that weddings figure in a little bit to this event, and that this event happens just a few days before election day ... I'm probably going to say a few words at this event designed to influence the vote of these two people in particular. And if hard feelings ensue between us as a result, then at least the project and event will be over ... and I hope our friendships won't.

But seriously, if I learn of anyone I know voting Yes on Proposition H8TE, i will be hard-pressed to be their friend thereafter.

Morrigoon · 10-10-2008, 03:19 PM

I know an ex-Mormon who is getting infuriated by the "yes" stuff she's getting from her Mormon friends, and she's responding encouraging them to vote "no". Yay!

The decision marks the first time that a court rejected civil unions as an alternative to granting gay couples the right to marry.

From here

First time that seperate but equal by name is not has been recognized.

I think that if Prop h8te succeeds, we should ban ALL non-marriage uses of the word Marriage.

No longer is Chef Blahblah's Amuse Bouche a "Perfect Marriage of Tuna, wasabi & chantilly cream" - sorry, they're not Man & Woman, and there's three of them. That's NOT a real marriage at all. Stop abusing this fine word, folks.

Here's one of the new ads. Just saw it on Discovery during MythBusters.
