Supporters liken California decision to its repeal on interracial marriage ban in the '40s
Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer in Monday's ruling likened the ban on same-sex marriage to laws requiring racial segregation, and said there appears to be "no rational purpose" for denying marriage to gay couples. Interestingly, in 1948, California was the first state to strike down a ban on interracial marriage. Of course, the usual suspects plan an immediate appeal of the landmark ruling. "This is a crazy ruling by an arrogant San Francisco judge who apparently hates marriage and the voters," says Randy Thomasson, executive director of the Sacramento-based Campaign for California Families, to whom we say, takes one to know one.
thanks queerday
So three cheers for the California Superior Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage
My new hero is Judge Richard Kramer!
well here's how i stand on gay marriage
now obviously im for it
but the thing is
i would be for it even if it didn't personally affect my life
the same way i would be for mixed raced marriage
and if laws against that weren't a shameful slice of this country's not so distant past
i dont know what was..
but here we are today
its 2005
and we are under attack by a surge of conservatism
that i would liken to the 1950's
the new scape-goat is not
the communist sympathizers
its gay americans..
vote for bush
he'll stop those damn queers from getting hitched
put god back in the white-house
save our children from the damn queers!
you know
i'm not saying i have a first hand knowledge of what the lord wants..
but i do know
he/she's gotta care a lot more about what kind of person you are
are you good, kind, loving, helpful to others, truthful to yourself
then about who you love..
and honey
if the higher power, the lord, jehovah
whatever you want to call, him or her
did think homosexuality was a sin
then millions of people around the world
wouldn't be gay
it's pretty much like saying
its a sin to be Chinese
or its a sin to be white
no
being gay is not a choice
who the hell would choose to have a harder life?
who would choose to be opressed by their own country?
who would choose to be gay bashed?
who would choose to be thrown out by their families?
who would choose to not have the right to marry their lover?
who would choose to not have the same rights to adopt children?
who would choose to be kicked out of a military career if they open their mouth?
who would choose to have to hide who and what they are around the world for fear of being murdered?
It's 2005
how bout we just get over ourselves already
we are all created equal
