An individual's sexual orientation – like a person's race or gender – does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.Note that the decision is not limited to marriage alone, but uses the much more encompassing phrase "legal rights." If gawd flooded New Orleans in advance of the gay parade that was planned there, imagine how pissed he is now! We suppose we'll be hearing that this season's wildfires are the vengeance of the war god of the Hebrews. Homeowners, clear that brush, & all should be sure their earthquake survival kits are ready to go, the water, survival bars & batteries are fresh, etc. Because there's trouble coming. Gawd hates fags, you know.

This ruling makes me happy, but it also makes me worried. Remember how in 2004 the right wing reactionaries got the vote out by a-skeerin' folks that John Kerry was going to take their Bibles away and make them enter into gay marriages and abort their chillun?
I'm worried this will get the wacko vote out.
M - I changed the damn verify word thing in my blog. I had no idea that was in there, I hate that thing!
Sez The Ed:
We're not too worried. Among other things, the percentage of Californians who are opposed to gay marriage is now at 51%, from the approx. 60% who voted for whatever stupid proposition it was in '04, and some say there's no actual evidence that the homophobe vote "came out" (tee-hee) to vote against rights & Kerry in '04 than they would have w/o the anti-marriage bills.
We don't think it's quite the issue it was even four yrs. ago. Or at least we've heard/read some people saying that, & are going to be optimistic for once.
