Are these "shotgun" weddings or something?

Why the big rush for the gays to get married when it's still against the law?

I'm mean...Who's gotten pregnant by the person they are marrying ?

If no one is pregnant by their intended spouses, where's the irreparable harm in their waiting a bit while they try to change the law so they can get married legally?

This is clearly a planned act of civil disobedience in a long tradition of Slave Party capriciousness: When the law doesn't suit them, they use force, especially the courts (which is why an arrest and forcible closing of the courthouse is the appropriate response).

If this goes too far without a halt, we will have thousands of "married couples" suddenly stripped of their bogus validation. There will be interviews of the distraught couples, extended coverage of general mayhem, likely suicides, and interviews of mean spirited conservatives, heartless about the suffering...

When these licenses are invalidated, you can bet upon the high likelihood of a riot in San Francisco (I would be surprised if one was not already planned). Anybody who doesn't believe that doesn't know these people very well (or communists either), and has a poor knowledge of the way Germany convulsed when the Brown Shirts were cut loose. Gay activists will go to ANY length, including violence, to get what they want.

The cry will go up, 'This is what happens when you deny couples their civil rights' (as if couples have unalienable rights). Judges will deliberate and delay, there will be appeals, and once the State courts are done, the issue will go Federal on a 14th Amendment claim of "equal protection," all the time the lines of anxious couples in San Francisco will still be served because the Ninth Circuit will want it that way... and look who sits on the SCOTUS ready to twist the knife, but the same Republican thugs in black robes who cited international law or "compelling State interest" when the Constitution didn't suit their intentions. Anybody who thinks that a Supreme Court, willing to invalidate a Texas sodomy law on such flimsy grounds, won't rule on gay marriage, is smoking something.

This is what happens to a society that coddles homosexuals. Their agenda never was about what two consenting adults do in private. They DON'T keep to themselves and keep their sexuality a private matter. They DEMAND special deference for their disgusting public behavior and crave eventual access to minors over the objections of their parents. Anybody who thinks that this isn't about controlling how the next generation grows up had better get a grip. We're in for a long fight and it could well get serious.

I'm assuming it's like collecting first day issue stamps, first edition books or being somewhere on opening night. Most of these people, I suspect, just want to say they "got married when it was illegal in California". What have they got to lose? In fact, I bet they'll both fight over who gets to keep the copy of the marriage certificate when they fall out.

Maybe we should increase the IRS marriage penalty and see how many gays want to get married.

(Just kidding)

It was set up by HRC for homsexuals to go ask for marriage licenses and then select the ones to bring up as test cases. The SF situation will be set up as HRC test cases. The more the have, they now can claim class action status.
