California Court overturned Proposition 8

Thank goodness. Now all that needs to be done is to overturn Linda Lingle's veto of the civil unions bill here in Hawaii.

While that's great, that's not "all that needs to be done." If Hawaii overturns her unconstitutional veto, then it would become only the 7th state, along with the District of Columbia, to have passed same-sex marriage laws. 43 to go after that.

So gay marriage is legal in cali?

Now all that's left is marijuana and rape.

What the hell? Marijuana is one I can understand, but rape? Under no circumstance should, or will, that EVER be legal. I can't understand why people would want it to be in the first place. If you're not man enough to get someone to agree want to have sexual relations with you, then figure out a way to man up. That doesn't involve subjugating the other person.

It was legal to begin with, but then some pro-traditional marriage people tricked the public into voting for Prop 8, which banned gay marriage. Now it's back, although the case will probably go in front of the Supreme Court. If it's stilled ruled unconstitutional, I see a big change coming for the entire country...

Technically same-sex marriage is still illegal in California as the chief judge who overturned Prop 8 today allowed it to remain temporarily on the books, in the event higher courts would accept appeals and hear the case. If they don't, then it's officially overturned. Chances are it will go before the Supreme Court, which is a scary thought considering the 5-4 conservative majority vote. That being said, if it remains unconstitutional, or if the Supreme Court finds it unconstitutional, the decision will have HUGE implications across the country in setting precedence for many legal battles over same-sex marriage bans. According to the article I read about the overturn today roughly 30 states have similar laws on the books to Prop 8, meaning over half the country could see sweeping overturns if California's decision stands.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with this analogy...

You never got back to my last PM months ago about homosexuality and gay marriage, but you're still bashing us. Want to continue that discussion or should I assume you no longer care?
