California Supreme Court legalizes same-sex marriage by admin on May 15th, 2008, 3:12 pm
A sharply divided California Supreme Court today legalized same-sex marriage, a historic ruling that will allow gay and lesbian couples across the state to wed as soon as next month and inflame the social, political and moral debate over gay unions.
In a 4-3 ruling written by Chief Justice Ronald George, the Supreme Court struck down California laws that restrict marriage to heter...

If "marriage" is only for procreation, then all you infertile people, or older couples better call it quits!
Good for California, we should take a lesson from them in treating people right.

Sorry, Kenny Tarmac, California's legislature has twice voted to permit same sex marriage in their state.
Governor Arnold vetoed it twice, saying that it should be up to the voters or to the State's Supreme Court.
This is NOT judicial activism at all.
The law (not constitutional amendment) in question passed with only about 55% of the vote years ago.
The constitutional amendment on the ballot in California in November not only bans same sex marriage, but terminates all current and future "domestic partnerships" (on the books now for several years and for both str8 and same sex relationships) as well.
Governor Arnold is opposed to the amendment.
It should be interesting.

Quote: : Sorry, but as I said to someone else in the other thread on this, the public should NEVER be able to vote on limiting the rights of a certain group.
If that were allowed, we'd probably have cities or even states where blacks weren't allowed to marry whites, or that you had to be of a certain faith to be mayor.
Go back in time, and if the public had a say, some places would allow slavery and not allow women to vote at all.
With most cases I would agree with your post, but in the case of determining, or in this case, restricting, equal rights for a certain group, I whole-heartedly disagree.
I view equal rights for Americans as more important than the votes of the majority.
Unfortunately the majority doesn't always make the right decision.

Quote: : I agree with you on everything except that marriage is not a right.
Not for heteros, not for homos.
The people are able to have a say in something like this that does not affect the rights of anyone else.
Marriage is a privelege, not a right.
If the majority of people want to take away the ability for a man and woman to marry, then I think it should be allowed.
I do not have the right, I have the privelege.
If someone wants to take away my right to vote, or my right to speak my mind, or my right to carry my gun, then I agree with your assessment.
Regardless, I know we disagree on this, and that's ok.
I know you are not the type like some others who refuse to allow dialogue, and I appreciate you for that.
Good luck with Mark, I get quite tired of the drivel he spews.
Doesn't know how to make a point without exaggeration.
Peace.

Most folks who toot their horn against gay marriage, are like Tom Haggart.
Afraid of their own homosexual fantasies People should stop being voyeurs and get out of other people's bedrooms.

Quote: : Actually, marriage was defined by the courts as part of all of our pursuit of happiness guaranteed by the Constitution.
In the past it was a "right" for white men and white women, while blacks had to have permission from their owners.
Then, it became a right for all men and women as long as they didn't mix races.
That was a "priveledge" in certain states while illegal in others.
The courts decided this was unconstitutional (sound familiar?)!
Virginia was the last state to have it's inequality laws overturned by the Supreme Court.
Welcome to the 21st century!

Well, at least I do.
And, dadgummit, I wish the Post would consolidate the threads on the same subject.
We will end up with how many different forums on the same decision by the California Supreme Court?
