BREAKING: California’s Republican-Led Supreme Court Lifts Ban on Same-Sex Marriage!

Conservative Decision Respects Constitutional Right of 'Equal Protection', Allows Heterosexuals to Remain Married to Opposite-Sex Partners...

Share article:

California’s Republican-dominated Supreme Court — in a conservative finding — has just found the state’s ban on same-sex marriage to be in violation of the state Constitution.

And yes, that’s a conservative finding, in that it respects both the state and U.S. Constitution and keeps Government out of our bedrooms and private lives.

For those phony “conservatives” who don’t understand the difference, a special note: The ruling does not require you to go out and marry someone of the same sex. So you don’t need to worry your little selves about it one bit. You get to stay married to your current partner as usual. If you wish.

    Wahoo! The state of my birth joins my adopted home state in recognizing the obvious. Celebrate now, but keep your eyes on the ball; there are too many people investing their self-worth in putting others down.

    Love, a temporary insanity, curable by marriage.

    I don’t recall who said that…probably too many to mention. 😉

    It’s always seemed inescapable to me that a conservative reading of the Constitution of the United States, let alone California, would be forced to concede the complete legality, the inalienable right, of gays to marry. And I’m so darn happy thinking of Republicans actually making real American decisions that don’t exactly serve their party. What a damn relief! Here’s hoping it’ll cease being so rare….

    It’s a good day for all freedom lovin folks, regardless of sexual preferences or orientations.

    And THIS Laure offers a hat tip and a big and hearty toast to the LGBT’s for whom this IS such a big occasion.

    A win for you, is a win for us all. Rights are rights. They take yours, then they take mine.

    As said above, eyes wide open, the next attack is soonly forthcoming, no doubt.

    In the meantime, joke ’em if they can’t take a fuck! *G*

    I have to paraphrase the great, late Bill Hicks here.

    I dunno how y’all feel about this, but gay people want to get married.

    Here’s how I feel about it:

    Anyone….

    DUMB ENOUGH….

    To want to get married….

    Should be allowed.

    🙂

    BardBrad, why do you think ‘equal purtekshun‘ is so imporant in Amurak, one of the three provinces of Bullshitistan (denial, Amurak, and what house)?

    Why isn’t it important in the other provinces of Bullshitistan, such as the what house?

    I mean … picking on lil denial for heaven’s sake???

    I feel like “taking a piss with lil craig” is the next bumper sticker.

    I learned a long time ago that even dirt can marry … I mean squeeze to pieces of clay together and they stick … that is marriage … to be bound together …

    But it is not always good or always bad … that is not the idea … the idea is an old rock and roll band idea, about 3412.9945610 BC that permanence was above all.

    And that proves McBush is a rock and roll band member! Praise the lordy lordy … Brad … praise the lordy lordy 99 betimes …
