Yay and stupidest quote of the day
Yay = CA supreme court says denying same-sex couples the right to marry is unconstitutional.
Stupid quote (from CNN article about the case) = "The government should promote and encourage strong families," said Glen Lavy of the Alliance Defense Fund. "The voters realize that defining marriage as one man and one woman is important because the government should not, by design, deny a child both a mother and father."
Someone please explain to me how allowing two people physically incapable of having a biological child together to get married denies a mother and father to anyone. Any child born of natural means (as opposed to grown in a test tube or cloned) by definition has a mother and a father. This quote wouldn't even apply to allowing gays to adopt. They're not denying the child a mother and father, they're allowing the child to have parents at all. People like this make me so angry!
