The California Senate has approved a plan to replace "man and woman" in state references to marriage with "two persons," establishing a same-sex marriage procedure in the state that just seven years ago voted to limit marriage to one man and one woman.
The 22-15 vote came on homosexual Assemblyman Mark Leno's proposal to open marriage to any pair in the state, not just those couples made up of a man and a woman. All Republicans opposed AB43, while all but three Democratic senators supported it.
The bill now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for his signature or veto. He has given ambiguous signals about his support for the latest proposal, but earlier vetoed a similar proposal.
However, in Schwarzenegger's answers to questions from the state Supreme Court he suggested the "use of the words 'marry' and 'marriage' is not required by the California Constitution. Thus, the name of the legal relationship now known as 'marriage' could be changed."
As WND has reported, Schwarzenegger has expressed the opinion that legally, the term "marriage" can be terminated, because registered "domestic partners" already have all of the same legal rights, benefits, duties and obligations as married couples.
The governor continued, "Except for the ability to choose and declare one's life partner in a reciprocal commitment of mutual support, any of the statutory rights and obligations that are afforded to married couples in California could be abrogated or eliminated by the Legislature or the electorate for any rational legislative purpose."
That court solicited comments from Schwarzenegger because it is considering a case that challenges the state's 2000 Proposition 22 vote in which voters expressed the desire to limit marriage to a man and a woman.
The answers contained in Attorney General Jerry Brown's brief were nearly a duplicate of Schwarzenegger's.

The adult would still stand as I think it would be highly unlikely that the legal system would change to the point of allowing minors to enter into contracts.
Not including the option "other" by God is grounds for a law suit!
Sheesh! I presume they will be conducted with Scripture?
Your ping list may have something to say about this:
It was highly unlikely that the legal system would change to allow homosexual marriage only a few years back. It’s all up for grabs when you hold the premise that gov’t has no higher authority (nature and nature’s God) to consult. What is age-of-consent or the line between minor and adult but moral judgments? The premise that brought the homosexuals this far is that gov’t has no right to make moral judgments. Without that premise they would be nowhere. Their act that is their claim to fame is clearly against the nature order of human sexuality. It plays no role in the building block of the family and the natural creation of future generations of human beings. It is a means of orgasm of no greater value than masturbation.
Coming next: incest, polygamy, bestiality. Anything goes.
Since a corporation is a legal entity that approximates personhood, can a real person marry a corporation?
I would like to marry Wal-mart and then get divorced. The settlement should be awesome.

Instead of asking if you are male, female or both, how about asking if, on chromosome 23, do you have XX, XY or other.
That’s a bizarre question which I could only guess is meant to address those born as intersex or hermaphrodite.
Let’s hope this is all correct. Homosexuals seem to have
a lot of clout in Cailfornia for a small minority.
Homosexuals seem to have a lot of clout in Cailfornia everywhere for a small minority.
Or they could always move to the Mid-West or Michigan, and freeze their titties off in the fast approaching winter.
It's my job. It's all correct.
I know that our diocese is very strict about who comes in contact with children. It is really difficult to make the volunteers jump through so many hoops because of the actions of a few, but it can't be helped now.
That’s what happens when you vote in gays to places of power.
