They have successfully turned the right to marry into a "civil right" which it is not. Once again, the tyrannical judges of San Francisco have pushed their own personal beliefs on the rest of us. This news makes me sick to my stomach.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A judge ruled Monday that California's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional - a legal milestone that, if upheld on appeal, would open the way for the most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.This is not about wanting "marriage" this is about giving gays and lesbians a greater level of legitimacy by equating them to mainstream institutions such as marriage. The people of California have made it clear they do not want marriage to define a gay union but the judges care not about what the majority want. They care only for their own ideology and that they can force it down the throats of regular folks like you and me. I am back on board for a Constitutional Ammendment banning gay marriage.
Judge Richard Kramer of San Francisco County's trial-level Superior Court likened the ban to laws requiring racial segregation in schools, and said there appears to be "no rational purpose" for denying marriage to gay couples.
The ruling came in response to lawsuits filed by the city of San Francisco and a dozen gay couples a year ago after the California Supreme Court halted a four-week same-sex marriage spree started by Mayor Gavin Newsom.
The opinion had been eagerly awaited because of San Francisco's historical role as a gay rights battleground.
The Associated Press story wraps with the most telling proof that this issue is about legitimacy rather than rights:
California has the highest percentage of same-sex partners in the nation, and its Legislature has gone further than any other in providing gay couples the benefits of marriage without being forced to do so by court order.
