Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Form be damned, the state of California does not recognize same sex marriages. This is sortof like a newspaper columnist writing a note on the evils of murder, due to the perp using the wrong ammo to carry out the act.

Yes I recognize the gravity of the two subjects is different, but the underlying principle is the same. Illegal is illegal, despite our nation's not being able to understand the term any longer.

"There is a statewide form that every county has to use for marriage applications. If we receive application forms that are different from the single form used throughout the state, we will not accept them," said Nicole Kasabian Evans, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Agency.

The irony here is absolutely amazing.

**California will not accept the marriage licenses granted to thousands of same-sex couples in San Francisco because the city created its own form to remove such terms as "bride" and "groom," a state official said on Wednesday. **

Marriage between same sex people is illegal in California. No piece of paper will *make* it legal. The majority of Californian's voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman. The law needs to be enforced!

If we receive application forms that are different from the single form used throughout the state, we will not accept them," said Nicole Kasabian Evans, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Agency.

I hope she works for Arnold, and I hope he enforces the LAW ...

[The Mayor]

we will not accept them

Oh how cool : )

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I love technicalities, don't you?!

[skr]

So they found a technicality. Apparently the violation of the law regarding California's legal definition of marriage wasn't enough.

[claudiustg]

This is what you get when there is no leadership coming from the governor's office.

[patriciaruth]

At something like $104 a pop for those "licenses," San Francisco made a tidy bundle from the 2300 or so "marriages."

Makes you wonder what the real motivation was behind the event.

[Imal]

"Enter the bureaucrats..."

[dalebert]

What form could be right? Marriages are between men and women. Who can help it if they can't find the right form(or name) for their union.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

because the city created its own form to remove such terms as "bride" and "groom,"

For men they replaced it with "pitcher" and "catcher."
For lesbians they put "takes out the trash" and "submissive."

[sd-joe]

the form in San Francisco says applicant one and applicant two

Applicant one -- How romantic.

[Republican Wildcat]

Oops--can't have a wedding without a bride and groom, can't have a marriage without a husband and wife. Who would have thought?

[Cicero]

Well, at least this bureaucrat is on the right side of the matter, refusing to accept the licenses as valid. Much better than the judge who refused to accept a suit against the gay marriage licenses because he objected to a semicolon.

[philetus]

If we receive application forms that are different from the single form used throughout the state, we will not accept them"


You can't accept them anyway if they don't have a man and a woman listed on them.

[ApplegateRanch]

Gee, will the city REFUND the illegally collected fees?Bwaaahahahaha!

I just can't stop wondering just how much the city DOE$ manage to rake in with this????

[John Jorsett]

It would be interesting to show up there as two brothers or two sisters and demand to be married. I'm betting the law, while prohibiting brother and sister marriages, doesn't address the formerly unthinkable possibility of same-sex sibilings.

Homosexual Agenda Ping --- the historic phrase that comes to my mind and lips is this:

Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!!

Let me know if you want on/off this ping list!
