Prop 8 Overturned

If you want the factual info on this, check out my page on Facebook where sharing links takes less effort, or hell, google it. Basically, after the stay that is until Friday, unless the 9th court extends the stay, which it may or may not do, people like me can go get married

If someone claims that same-sex marriage would somehow undermine their marriage, then their marriage is already in trouble.

How does letting two consenting adults do what they want to do and love who they want to love have any effect on you?

I really wonder myself-- and what makes me shake my head are the ones who say it must be a man and wife due to breeding. (I paraphrase, obviously)

Soooo... elderly people cannot get married as there is no way for them to reproduce? And what about those hetero couples who are infertile? Are states to offer fertility tests before allowing marriage now?

::shaking head::

Back when Prop 8 was on the ballot, the commercials offered really offended me, with the most heinous being a little girl coming home saying how her teacher had read a fairy tale (get it? ::eyeroll::) wherein a pair of princes ended up living happily ever after... and the mother recoiled in horror at the thought. Yeah, as if somehow the gay rubs off...

Hate is pointless... and most certainly, without reason.

What is funny, is those comercials helped make the case for overturning it. In that the showed the law was based on old stereotypes of criminals and perverts.

They were essentially saying "If you vote for same sex marriage, homosexuals are going to corrupt your children" and I believe that is what the Judge mentioned in his case in that the law was based on old stereotypes rather than any rational decisions.

::hug:: And you will be there to dance at our wedding, heart-- oh, and to make yummy things too, but that, of course, is the afterthought. :}

You know, this did make the national news. I heard it on our news station here in Iowa this morning

You certainly are not a peon, but a wonderful person with an amazing heart-- and you best be figuring how to get here for the party when-the-heck-ever we DO get the legalities over with.

We'll have plenty of time and warning for everyone, as money is tight all over, but I'm hoping to have the party of parties to celebrate this!

Just so happens I'll be on CA around September
Hoping I can combine the trip. Lol
