California Judge Reverses Prop 8 Ban On Gay Marriage

From DrudgeReport.com:


EXCLUSIVE 1:26 PM PT: CA Prop 8 held to be unconstitutional under due process and equal protection. Will be released at 2 PM PT (5 PM)…

138 PAGE RULING: Judge strikes, ‘Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California’…

JUDGE: PROPOSITION 8 DOES NOT SURVIVE RATIONAL BASIS…

JUDGE: Having considered the trial evidence and the arguments of counsel, the court pursuant to FRCP 52(a) finds that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional and that its enforcement must be enjoined.

‘Proposition 8 places the force of law behind stigmas against gays and lesbians’…

‘Stereotypes and misinformation have resulted in social and legal disadvantages for gays and lesbians’…

JUDGE: THE RIGHT TO MARRY PROTECTS AN INDIVIDUAL’S CHOICE OF MARITAL PARTNER REGARDLESS OF GENDER…

DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIPS DO NOT SATISFY CALIFORNIA’S OBLIGATION TO ALLOW PLAINTIFFS TO MARRY…

    We have to remember that folks always want what they can’t have and once they get it they don’t want it anymore. Gays have been wanting to marry for so long many who do it don’t stay married long.

    The married ones are divorcing already! :lol: Those two women in Virginia fighting over their daughter. She’s been kidnapped by one momma, given a new religion and father. Guess who’s backing her? THE CHURCH! Hypocritical comedy at it’s best. Then you have Rosie O’Donnell. The country singer (forget her name) is fighting with her soon-to-be ex over alimony. It will only make for more interesting divorce cases.

    Why do gays and lezbins WANT to get married? Marriage is really an institution in which GOD put together for MAN and WOMAN. If you don’t believe in God fine or if you’re not a Christian fine but why make a mockery of the church or marriage if you’re not gonna follow through and live by it its true meaning? Just be fine with common law marriage versus a REAL marriage.

    It’s almost like Christians wanting an Indian or Chinese ceremony even though they have nothing to do with the traditions of those cultures.

    If gays want to be together then do it but leave marriage out of it. Everything they see straight ppl do they wanna do it. They ONLY want to do it because somebody telling them they can’t and after this they’re not gonna wanna do it now. Alot of them even realize that the sanctity of marriage is indeed between a man and a woman. And i’m not even gonna harp on why marriage really has NOTHING to do with the constitution but I’ll digress…

    It’s not really the men that wants to get married its the gay-one-day-and-straight-the-next women who needs to go to hell with gasoline drawls on……….

    texarican mamacita says:

    Since we all want to be treated equal under the constitutional laws that govern this country, notice I did not say the church laws, than this decision was correct in my opinion and hopefully the Supreme Court will uphold the decision.

    This ruling to allow gay marriage is not saying that they can go to any church and demand to be married under the CHURCH laws, it only applies to the secular issuance of a marriage certificate. And since states can issue a MARRIAGE certificate then that makes it a secular marriage that does not involve the church, any religion or spiritual beliefs.

    It is when a couple chooses to have a ceremony, in addition to a secular marriage, that involves a church or being officiated by a representative of the clergy that it becomes a marriage in regards to the church and whatever beliefs that couple has in regards to a higher being.

    Soooo…. Go ahead gay men and women and enjoy/suffer from the joy/pain that is marriage in the secular sense, at least…… :laugh:

    texarican mamacita says:

    Oh, one more thing.

    Marriage in the sense of this ruling is mainly about property rights and inheritance issues and other legalities that a couple is privy to when legally married. In my opinion, that is where the constitution does have to do with marriage. I’ve read a lot of historical background on the purpose of marriage in the days of the founding fathers and what marriage meant in those days had just about nothing to do with love and happiness and all of the fairy tale stuff we now associate with marriage.

    It was all about money, property, and land, hence the marriage contract,oops, I meant certificate/license.

    :yawn: at the topic at hand, but ok. of course, women get passes and pats but gay guys get stoned (posters). whatever.

    someone asked me if i were married once. “of course not, dont i look happy?” was my response.

    i guess this is a great thing for those who more or less fought for this right in california.
