I reject the idea of asking the state for permission to authorize my relationship with anyone.

believe it or not, there are christians who oppose the state being involved in heterosexual marriage in the first place, I have read some of their material, and alot of it makes sense, I just don't subscribe to the impracticality of it.

Hurray! For the California Supreme Court!
Even with conservative judges, they knew the RIGHT THING TO DO! And that was to respect justice -- and honor equality and dignity for all Californians. They were able to rise above the bigotry, fear and hatred fomented daily against gay and lesbian people throughout this country and state. They used their wisdom to grant them the same rights as other Californians. It is truly a wonderful thing.
This post has been quite an education for me. I learned a great deal about some of the posters here. Of course, I knew that prejudice and bigotry still thrive in this state and country. But to see it unfold and parade about -- is still a hurtful, ugly thing to see. But such is the mentality of some people.
It's become apparent that it would be meaningless for me to return to this thread. What is there left to be said? Some posters have rejoiced in this momentous civil rights victory. And I rejoice with them. Others have chosen a different course. They reveal themselves for what they are.
Love to all my brothers and sisters working for equality,
Benjamin

Those judges were closet cases themselves, no true conservative would ever vote that way.

They are probably atheists at that.

I don't get what's so taboo about gay marriage. What consenting adults do with their own lives is no one else's business but their own. I hope here in Australia one day we can will also repeal our biased anti-gay laws.

The list of Republican traitors is long this election year, even people you wouldn't imagine. I have almost grown disillusioned with the Republican party, but I have snapped back to reality.
Pat Robertson is the biggest traitor, I guess it shouldn't surprise me as there are alot of crooked TV evangelists.
And to be equally fair, there are alot of liberal traitors on the democrat side, don't believe me? just ask Hillary. I bet she has learned an important lesson in all of this. -

Brinjen, from what I have heard there is a shortage of men in your country, so perhaps there is some kind of practical reason to it.
It is not so much what is wrong with 2 consenting adults do (scriptures aside) but the people promoting it.
