California judge overturns ban on gay marriage - for now
In the eagerly awaited opinion likely to be appealed to the state’s highest court, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer said that withholding marriage licenses from gays and lesbians is unconstitutional.
“It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners,” Kramer wrote.
The judge wrote that the state’s historical definition of marriage, by itself, cannot justify the denial of equal protection for gays and lesbians.
“The state’s protracted denial of equal protection cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional,” Kramer wrote.
Judge Kramer ruled that denying same sex marriage was akin to previously illegal interracial marriage, segregation, the treatment of women as their husband’s property and treats people differently based upon their preference.
In other news, the “Defense of Marriage Act” or “Homophopes-R-Us” that was passed last year disregards states rights when it comes to same sex couples. Not only is that offensive to same sex couples who are legally married it also snubs countries where multiple spouses are legal essentially saying that the United (Christian) States of America know what’s best for the world.
Let us not forget that the twisted bastardization of Islam led us to Al Qaeda. The twisted bastardization of Christianity will lead us similarly to the shadow of the valley of death and the “faithful” will follow as sheep.
