California Prop 8 Overturned By Openly Gay Judge

[Ranger]

Isn't that nice when the will of the people, by a majority public vote, is overturned by one openly gay judge who disagrees? I'm so very sick of homosexuality being passed as something so huge when less that 3% of the population claims to be one. Let's say that it's 15% (yea, they wish), it's great that the 85% majority is overruled by the 15% minority.

While I personally find homosexuality despicable, I'm a live and let live kind of guy, but when they start getting special rights for BEING gay, that just steams me.

This ranks right up there with "Black Entertainment Television" - why can't we have "White Entertainment Television"? WET, that's an awesome call sign, but it's never going to happen. What's good for the goose IS NOT good for the gander it would seem in all facets, including homosexuality.

I don't think there should be any laws about it either way.

Eh, to each his own. Its not the fed's place to say who you can and can't marry. If one chooses to take it in the dumper for the rest of his life...that's his problem.

Fuck "tolerance". I'm tired of my sons being told at school that it's okay to take it in the ass. It's not. People are sick. If fags want to be together, we should put them all in california and put a fence around it. Get that freak show crap out of the law books and focus on real problems.

ok, I'm done.

CA prop 8 passed with a 52% against and a 48% for. Hardly a screaming majority.

The ruling will more than likely be appealed to District, and then again to the SC. We will see.

I personally like the idea of the govt staying out of personal affairs like marriage. The less the govt's in everyone's private life, the better.

I don't have any problem with what somebody wants to do in the privacy of their own home. However, I go with the "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" school of thought. I won't go into all the reasons I feel this way, but I disagree with the whole gay marriage/civil union thing. And I disagree with activist Judges imposing their will over that of the voters, especially one that HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME. Part of me wants to rant like MX'R, but I'll restrain myself.

Once again, the scales of Justice were strapped down before they had a chance to function. The minority goes another step toward getting exactly what they want by any means they can, while spitting in everyone else's face. Different sets of rules for different groups.

I don't go around flaunting the fact that I like girls, I think they're fantastic, but I don't sing it from the highest mountains. It drives me nuts that every other (or more) TV show has a gay dude on it. I'm tired of having it forced on me in the news, in movies, on TV, etc, that being gay is soo popular and everybody's doing it. Now, since they're being portrayed as having such a great presence, this logical next step of homosexuals having a (overly) powerful political voice just irks me that much more, why can such a small section of society can get stuff passed against the willl of the majority, WTF? I guess that's a growing trend in the US right now, the majority dooesn't want healthcare or half the other crap being forced on us. I guess being a white male I'm just expected to bend over and take it, but I'm starting to get tired of having my voice not listened to while smaller groups get doted on like they're made of gold.

W.E.T.? Not a chance in hell, that's racist

I didn't say screaming majority, I said it was a majority and if the majority is 1% more than opposition it's still a majority and should stand.

Maybe they'll buy my PT111? This is why I bought land in the mountains.

Amen, brotherman, A-M-E-N!

This reminds me so much of don't ask, don't tell, the Army knew that a queer would come under "accidental friendly fire" if the team knew. I'm glad I didn't know, I wouldn't doubt that some I served with were gay but they kept it themselves, kept it in their pants and didn't act like a queen and that's all I could ask for and would happily lay down my life for any one of them.

You know what, I'll lay down my life for the right for some queen to take it in the caboose today too, that's FREEDOM baby, but don't rub my nose in it like being straight is abnormal.
