Gay Marriage upheld in California
And Conservatives are already preparing a counter case to strike it down.
Honestly though, what does it hurt? This is just about as moronic as men striking down women’s rights in recent history, or looking back, the South supporting segregation. Or just look at any idiotic motion to support any sort of discrimination at all throughout history.
Gay marriage does NOT affect straight marriages AT ALL. The biggest complaint I’VE heard is that people will just do it for tax breaks. Well you know what? There are a great deal of white (majority) straight (majority) couples popping out kids for welfare money. There are a great deal of straight couples that can stay married just to get tax breaks. Is this a game of who can outsmart the government and who can’t suddenly? Frankly people who would do this sort of thing are going to find a way no matter what.
Seriously. These people look like monsters. “Ok, yes, this is the land of the free. But what about FAMILY VALUES?!” Yeah? What about them? Last time I checked this was not a country that was supposed to have a government influenced by a SINGLE religion, let alone any religion at all. The founding fathers did NOT approve of that model and that is what we ESCAPED from in England. He who fights the monster must becareful lest he become one. America, observe said proverb. In fact we make a big deal about the Muslim government in middle eastern countries…yet we’re fine with being hypocrits.
I think at some point during my travels abroad I saw how backwards Americans really are. No wonder almost every other country in the world hates us. There’s a reason folks. I’m not even sure if we can reverse the pervasive ignorance around us.
Grow up folks. Intolerance was so 1800s. We’ve made it through slavery, we’ve survived through women suddenly wearing pants (GASP- THE HORROR!), we’ve stumbled through Japanese internment, now we just need to jump through the recent immigration discrimination and the treatment of homosexuals. I still think love is love and people are people.
