OT: Gay Marriage

[urbanrealtor]

[quote=sd_matt]Regarding the Prop 8 ruling a yahoo commenter said it nicely.

“I also find it ironic people are crying about the fact their rights are being violated, when the very thing being revoked was taking away peoples rights. Seriously pull your heads out of your @#$%, gay people are not affecting you at all unless they are personally coming to your door and asking you to be gay.”[/quote]

I used to do that.

Eventually, my neighbors asked me to stop.

I think they were weirded out by my wife watching me with binoculars.

I was kind of hoping this would happen at the parade today.

[quote=mike92104]I think the word marriage should be left t the churches. I think the state should only be empowered to grant civil unions regardless of sexual orientation. That way everybody is equal, and churches can decide who they want to marry or not. If your church doesn’t want to marry gay couples, then find a new one. Otherwise I think this will be an endless fight.[/quote]

There will be no shortage of news reporting on this event. I’m always gratified to come across reporters who have unique journalistic styles that keep me riveted to the articles they write. Cathy Kelly of the Santa Cruz Sentinel is one of these:

http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_15678300

Federal judge’s ruling guts Proposition 8, the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages
(Hmmm. Let me try and guess which side she was on.)

(About halfway into the article)
Demonstrations coinciding with the ruling’s release were planned Wednesday throughout the San Francisco Bay area and elsewhere, including the Diversity Center in Santa Cruz. A handful of people gathered at the center Wednesday afternoon to await the ruling. Initially apprehensive, the mood turned celebratory once the judge’s order was made public.
“We know and expect this is to be just one piece on the path to marriage equality. But it’s a critical part,” said Lex, who is queer and does not use a last name. “It feels good to celebrate right now.”

Of course, I could be reading that last sentence wrong. Maybe she’s trying to say that Lex is queer *because* he does not use a last name?

Don’t know about y’all, but I smell a Pulitzer.
