California is just too happy this weekend (because Prop 8 is Dead Dead Dead)

I don’t know, one could look at anti-marriage as pro-freedom. Maybe they just don’t like the idea of gays being tied down to just one man.:smiley:

The haters just need some Xanax.

Tell that to James Dale, or any of the people who live in states which passed gay-marriage bans the ADF has helped hold up in court.

“California is just too happy this weekend.”

Yes, too happy. You might even say that they’re gay.

I like to imagine Kennedy sitting on a beach somewhere with a cocktail, just getting ready to enjoy his holiday, when his cellphone rings with a call from a clerk telling him about this new motion. He sighs, puts down the drink, thinks for a moment, and then says to his clerk, “Tell them to fuck off, but put it in nice words. It is so ordered.” :stuck_out_tongue:

i.e. “You got nothing; go away and quit bothering me.”

From Cracked: A 30-Second Guide to How the Gay Marriage Ruling Affects You.

I prefer the Muppet version:

That article is wrong on at least one point:

Sure it does. It now means there are more people than ever who could marry me, but won’t. :frowning:

And, may I take this opportunity of emphasizing, that there is no cannibalism, necrophilia, or homosexuality in the British Navy. Absolutely none. And when I say “none,” I mean that there is a certain amount, more than I am prepared to admit. Of each. In every conceivable combination.

Well, here we are again. The soul-less brain-dead defenders of “traditional” marriage (not a divorce in a carload) are trying to get the California Supreme Court to tell the California county clerks that a) the federal district court decision that overturned Prop 8 only applied to the two couples who brought the suit(:smack:) and b) that state officials don’t have the authority to tell the county clerks what to do, i.e. to allow same-sex marriages.

The delicious irony of the second point is this: in 2004, in order to stop gay weddings in San Francisco, these same cretins successfully sued at the state level, which led to the state Supreme Court ruling that marriage is in fact subject to state regulation.

If their moronic case had ever had any merit, which I doubt, it is just lovely to contemplate when they realize that 9 years ago they cut the ground out from under their own feet.

Points and laughs, feels schadenfreude out the wazoo.

So we’ve had SSM reinstated here for a couple of weeks and so far I am happy to report that there have been no catastrophes of any kind. Life had gone on as normal.

Using this “logic” (sorry, Father Lynam*), the justices of the California Supreme Court, being government officials, don’t have the authority to tell county clerks squat.

“They” are just trying to lull you into a false sense of complacency.

*My college logic professor (who, as I mentioned in another post, must be approaching warp speed in his graves at the logical atrocities being perpetrated of late).

I hope the state supreme court blisters them so bad in their response to this idiotic nonsense that they (figuratively) can’t sit down for a week.

The culture wars, where one side dances around making faces at their opponents, and the other side is in favor of gay marriage.

Have the descended to outright lying now? The California Health & Safety Code provides:

(my emphasis)

“Graves?” How did he die? Quartering?

Soon as I noticed this — which, true to form, I did after the edit period had expired — I realized that someone would (nit)pick up on it.

Anyone who knew the man would confirm that he had sufficient physical and psychical (for want of a better word) presence to justify multiple burial sites. In sooth, however, it’s a case of the Fingers of Fat™ striking again.

Happy to report that the state supreme court has declined to do what the Prop 8 supporters wanted them to (Stop the weddings! Stop them now! We can’t stand it!)
