The state made a good point... Government can't prohibit straight marriage, So justice and fairness MUST be shared across the board.

I don't give a flying turd what anyone else likes to do in the bedroom for "sensual" kicks... In my opinion I think most of the "Sexual" problems facing us are because Americans are Sex-a-phobes... Too Afraid and ashamed of their bodies and that creates unhealthy outlook on things.

Let Gays marry, they are people too!!! If some one told me I couldn't marry my wife, I would die from laughing so hard!!!

I agree with you, The Hate and discontent needs to stop... You can't claim to be a honorable and compassionate society if you are NOT Honorable and Compassionate!!!

on another note... hey bubbapit, any chance on letting me know where i could find the books you wrote? i wouldn't mind checking them out. thanks in advance. however, don't give up your anonimity for this request. if you can figure out a way to do so, that would be cool.

Then the Congress would be able to take action to prevent it ... or it would happen and this nation would fall. It's why the change process was made with so many levels; we cannot act on emotion alone. Those are the laws that inevitably fail.

As far as the blog topic ... my parents had a 'traditional marriage'; it was also an abusive one. The two men next door were who we would go to when we felt unsafe. Yet, society invalidates that stability.

I cannot and will not take any action which would compromise the intergrity and honor these two exceptional men gave. If they weren't who they were, I wouldn't have become the person I am.

Space,
You are thinking narrow mindedly. Not only males are affected. And, it isn't about desires ... it's about rights. The Constitution guarantees individuals' rights; not automatic majority rule. When the will of the people is in conflict with the Constitution, the courts step in to define and explain the issue.
I'm not saying where my postion on gay rights is because I have no place to say anything about what goes on between a consenting couple in the privacy of their bedroom or before god.

Whoops! I meant of course that "Marriage" is a union between a man and a woman, as defined by any reputable dictionary that I have ever checked. You cannot have, therefore, a homosexual "Marriage".

So the courts are writing their entire new interpretation of our constitution. We the "majority" are no longer allowed to excercise a sensible voice. Special interests seem to have all control. And we seem unable to effect any positive change. Mebbe we need to toss many judges off the bench. Considering the majority is supposed to rule, it doesn't. But we cannot allow that to create a state of chaos and anarchy. We have to manage to co-exist like people, and not animals. I'm sure there are few normal people who do not understand the far reaching ramifications of this matter. But until we depose those who are allowing the minority to dictate our morality we have to live. Voting often seems futile, I agree, but it's all we have. I think more "common citizens" need to place their hat in the ring. Professional politicians and judges are owned by the money special funnels to them. Why is it legal to spend millions to be elected? Why are campaign donations allowed at all? Mebbe if they weren't we'd find "real people" back in control as it was meant to be.

Honor your constitution then argue the philisophical points later... stop hindering others rights..... And this is from a totally straight non homophobic Educated Adult trying to raise 4 young healthy minded American Boys.....I hope more can see through this tainted subject and realize what is right..

When you take religious ethics out of the picture, I can't think of any logical reason why two people who love each other can't all have the same legal rights as the next two. Who cares if it's two men, two women, or one of each? As long as they're not causing harm to themselves or others and it does not directly impinge on the rights of others, then I don't see a problem with letting two people in a relationship having legal rights. A heterosexual couple is no better than a homosexual one so it makes sense to let ALL adults have the same legal rights as the next. What harm is it going to do to let gay men get married? Seriously. The world will not suddenly come to an end, society will not crumble, the country will not fall into a fiery pit, etc. It is fine to have your own religious beliefs but it's not right or fair to use your beliefs to impinge on the rights of others. If others don't share your beliefs then your "consequences" don't apply to them either. Your beliefs apply to yourself and no one else. I support California's decision and I hope more states start doing to same.

Actually marriage is a religious thing and therefore has no place as being a "legally defined" institution. According to the first Amendment we are not suppose to be making laws that respect an establishment of religion. It wasn't even suppose to be a law to begin with.

I actually think that religious marriage itself should remain a religious thing and civil unions (with the legal powers and benefits of current marriages) should be available to everyone. The legal aspects of a partnership should be a equal rights. Then it's up to individual churches to define what marriage means. After all not everyone is Christian, so it stands to reason Christians shouldn't have the final say on everyone's private lives.

I am all for removing religion from our government. I am sick of zealots trying to legislate their dogma unconstitutionally. I welcome anyone that would bring that change into our government. GOOD FOR YOU CALIFORNIA!!! CHANGE IS COMING AND THE CHRISTIAN ZEALOTS ARE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE IT REGARDLESS!!! WOOHOO!!!

Space,
Please accept my humble apologies for not having interpeted correctly as an example. States do, indeed, violate individuals rights all the time while crying protection under the Tenth Amendment ... the same one that addresses individuals rights. Doesn't makeit acceptable.
If all children were born into traditional situations, we'd have no problems. However, that is not the case. There are far too many children who have no parents or a supportive environment. Why shouldn't they have the loving support my siblings and I had from someone other than our parents? Who cares what 'the equipment' is? We are talking about a perhaps not ideal solution to a definitely not ideal social circumstance.
Remember, I always put children's needs first. This would allow some children to have a stable home environment. Would I like things to be different, yes. The reality is that they aren't. If a stable man/woman home cannot be found, a child deserves the stability he/she can find in an alternative situation be it single parentor same sex parents.
Your logic to nurselani opens the door for every marriage being scrutinized. There would be an assumption that establishes expectation of failure. That's a pretty grim view of humanity. Ofcouse, at some level it is also reality.

lifeliberty,

Those Utah laws were actually found unconstitutional by the supreme court see Lawrence v. Texas.

Your argument saying that someone's moral code must apply simply is not true. All you need to apply are the basics. You don't need a god to tell you that Stealing, Killing, Assaulting and Destroying something that is not yours is wrong. If you are causing harm to another or taking something that is theirs you are wrong.

Adultry, Fornication, Sodomy, Prostitution etc. are an illegal laws according to the constitution. You cannot apply these laws because they respect religion. These are religious based. Some laws like murder, theft, rape fall under basic human rights to survive. You don't need a god to tell you that these are wrong.

If your argument is correct, perhaps we should start applying Muslim law as well. After all, muslims live here too. In fact, there are more Muslims in the world than Christians. Tell all the women in your family to cover their faces. Eh???
