Appeal of Gay Marriage Ruling Could Delay Weddings in CA
The 9th district court of appeals will decide whether yesterday’s ruling overturning a ban against gay marriage will stand.
Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, who is gay, overturned the controversial Proposition 8 measure that banned gay marriages in the state of California.
The pending appeal could prevent gay weddings from taking place in California for an indefinite period of time.
“Rather than being different, same-sex and opposite-sex unions are, for all purposes relevant to California law, exactly the same,” Walker wrote in an unequivocal and strongly worded 136-page ruling. “The evidence shows conclusively that moral and religious views form the only basis for a belief that same-sex couples are different from opposite-sex couples.”
Currently, same-sex couples can legally wed only in Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington, D.C.

LET LESBIANS MARRY!!! IT IS HOW NATURE INTENDED!!!
Lmao… Everyone should be able to love and marry whom they choose.
How rude!!!
I don’t understand…if the PEOPLE of the state voted FOR Prop 8, that must mean they support it. So how or why the judge comes to a decision OPPOSITE of what the people voted is beyond me. So…the minority rules and not the majority…REAT! Got it!
*GREAT*
@budda
So much for the “people’s vote”
Equal rights for all

They didn’t vote for it, they may have thought they did. The wording when they voted was backwards and twisted, making many who thought they were voting for it really voting against it.
I support gay people but not gay marriage, but I say let them get married, it doesn’t count anyways.
i’ll be glad when this is o-v-e-r. i don’t care if they get married or not. i don’t support it, but i also will not fight against them having the right to marry whomever they choose. in my opinion…it’s definitely a destruction of the makeup of family…BUT that’s my opinion. so, i say let them marry if they choose to.
whats the point of voting these days, everything gets overturned
I have so many opinions on this subject, but I will keep them to myself.
The whole “voting” about it was a sham in the first place. How the hell you “vote” on someone’s rights?????
That’s like these yt sayin:
“Let’s vote to see if these
niggas“urban” people should get free public education.”You don’t “vote” on everything. That’s what the judge is sayin. The whole thing was unconstitutional in the first place.

“When the Gays and Hispancis are finished taking over…everything will be decorated perfectly and all the signs will be in Spanish. My #illumanti for dummies handbook says so right on page 666.”

They will hand out free ace bandages to all the women who want to look like men.
Whites will be the only people who work as gardeners and roofers.
It will be mandatory for everyone to have a gay BFF.
Every little girl will come out the house dressed in a prom dress with soccer cleets.
Each house will be decorated like a photoshoot from Better Homes and Gardens.
I have no problem with gay relationships but gay marriage is a bit of an oxymoron IMO.
I have no problem with gay marriage but the people of CA voted against it and that should be final.
@Nika….isn’t already mandatory for every FLY DIVA to have gay male BFF?
@Corporate yes it is…but they will start issuing every child one at birth once they take over.
I dont and I like to think I’m fly.
I stare and chit.
@Nika
but I believe it
@OTB…I hate to tell you this but it is prerequisite in many settings…especially where I am (ATL) and the events I attend.
Film, music, interior design…a gay guy’s input is just priceless.
#obsessedwithcutegayguys

I dont knw what it is either. Im cool with them, all for equal rights and chit but as far as hanging out, picking out my outfit and chit, no ma’am.

You did nothing but describe my parents’ neighbor here. The little girl is 4 and everyone calls her Lil’ Dora. She has the same hair style, prom dresses as play clothes and her ball. #deadass
