SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Supreme Court on Thursday voided the nearly 4,000 same-sex marriages sanctioned in San Francisco this year and ruled unanimously that the mayor overstepped his authority by issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples.

The court said the city illegally issued the certificates and performed the ceremonies, since state law defined marriage as a union between a man and woman.

The justices separately decided with a 5-2 vote to nullify the 3,995 marriages peformed between Feb. 12 and March 11, when the court halted the weddings. Their legality, Justice Joyce Kennard wrote, must wait until courts resolve the constitutionality of state laws that restrict marriages to opposite-sex couples.

I dreamed that Eddie & I answered some questionnaire after we got married that was supposed to be for a vacation drawing or some shit & one of the questions was, "When do you plan to start have children?" Of course, we said never. Segue' in the dream to us being hauled out of bed that night by the (I think) Republican Purification Commission & put into prison camps for a "false pretense marriage". It was me & CN on the sofa for the rest of *that* night.

The whole "defense of marriage" spiel is a crock of shit. If this administration was so fucking concerned about the "purity of marriage" they'd quit worrying about 2 seconds of Janet Jackson's tit and have the FCC go after shows like Temptation Island. Gay marriage is considered wrong by fundies because it cannot produce children within that dynamic. Bottom line is that conservatives know that saddling women down with children is the best way to control them, plus it creates plenty of poor white & minority cannon fodder for the upcoming draft. Rich boys can kick back in the National Guard.

Score for the gay haters! This is why we need stem cells. A gay man could use stem cells to change his sex so the can procreate and the "straights" cant say anything cause the gay person is now straight too and once we are all straight there will be no more hate and we can all ge talong.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Gay men are still men and they want to be gay with other men.
And they can still procreate, it would just take a serrogate mother willing to give up her seedling or they could adopt, if the state they reside in allows it.
Damn "straight agenda" always trying to recruit more straights.

F the supreme court right in the A. I'm really getting sick of these hate mongering monsters getting down on the gays just because it's what their party's supposed to be doing.

How can someone have an "opinion" like "I hate gays" and not think of themselves as just being a bad person?

Fiero · « **Reply #5 on:** Aug 14, 2004, 07:59:22 AM »

A lot of people say they think 'I hate gays' which many of them do, but quite a few of them, like my parents for instance, feel it's just the sanctity of marriage they're protecting. I say let 'em do whatever the hell they want.

poppy G · « **Reply #6 on:** Aug 14, 2004, 08:33:59 AM »

The "sanctity of marriage" BS is just what they are taught to say to coverup their opinion that gays should not have the same rights that straights have.
If they really belived what they said then they would void every marriage not sactified in a church and do away with divorces.

How many times have we discussed this crap?
Maybe I'll just start dating doods. Ohhhh Sammy!

It's not "going straight" if you were once a guy.

i think it's safe to say that i'm sufficiently confufsed.

You dont get to dictate other peoples sexuality, no matter what you think you know about them.

Yeah that whole "sanctity of marriage" thing pisses me off. People who aren't Christian can get married so it's not an affront to God. Why marriage predates Christian marriage fo' sho'. Seperation of church and state. That religous crap has no bearing on anything.

just because good ol' dubya wants to assert his religious adjenda upon all of us doesn't mean we have to follow it...

god damn, what a bastard. and all of these super conservative politicians trying to fuck us in the ass (or keep us from doing so)

Youd be surprised how conservative I actually am, having been raised in the bible belt, not that I'm proud of it. =\

I don't see how the sanctity of marriage is preserved when you can go to Vegas and get married by an elvis or a clown.

ChelseySuzie · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 16, 2004, 01:38:31 PM »

Exactly!! I heard Bill Maher say "Anything that you can do in Vegas, drunk off your ass and in front of an Elvis impersonater shouldn't be considered sacred."

ekerou etaou · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 16, 2004, 04:39:43 PM »

amen to that.

getting married by an elvis impersonator just creeps the hell out of me though...and it begs the question: why?!

B E C K · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 16, 2004, 04:53:50 PM »

Marriage needs to be far more difficult to do... for everyone. As does having kids, owning pets, driving, and owning a firearm. These people that get married for a week or a year and then expect it all to disappear... the Britney Spearses, and Mario Lopezes, and the J-Los make me ill. If anyone's attacking the idea of marriage it's those disgusting people.

How about a "Minimum Marriage Length" where you have to be married for so long until you can get a divorce?

As I read that, I was starting to think 'Men with small penises can't get married? ftw?'

its more like: its not about the motion of the ocean, its about the size of the ship

Really? So how small is too small and how small is not necessarily desirable but still acceptable?
