I could say it's about time, but this will be appealed to a higher court and waste more money raised by the professional and very Christian bigots in our society.

The logic behind the judge's decision is quite simple, equal rights for all. 135 pages of what the judge saw as a case of discrimination, good for him.

What is unequal is that Christian organizations have spread their message of hate for months to defeat this decision. The whole Proposition 8 debate has been fueled by people who don't even live in this state.

Whereas the American Constitution protects religious organizations from government interference, it says nothing about religions interfering with politics. The conservative Christian element takes advantage of this and raises funds across the nation to influence the population on what should be a local state matter.

I could go on for miles, but I expect Brody will give us a more concise look at the matter as it evolves. But as an added tibit of information, the conservative Christian organizations are screaming about Judge Walker supporting the left wing agenda in his decision. Judge Walker was appointed to his seat on the court by Ronald Reagan, the god of the right wing in America...kinda makes you wonder.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
