It will also generate even more lawsuits, if the ban goes into effect. They will say that any same-sex marriage from June to November’s election will still be legal and valid. Or the courts will be asked that specific question and will rule that they are valid, I’m sure.
I understand that Political Correctness says that gay marriage should be allowed. But has public opinion really shifted significantly on the issue? If voters in state after state had voted to allow it rather than to ban it, the debate would be entirely different. If same-sex marriage is so obviously a good policy or law, then state after state would vote to allow it rather than to ban it.
I know Calif. had passed a same-sex marriage law, which Arnold s. vetoed. I don’t like that they are both in court and trying to pass a law on the subject. If it’s true that it’s a “civil rights” issue not subject to a vote, then how can they be trying to change the law? If they try to change the law legislatively, they are admitting that it’s a legislative/policy issue, to be determined in a legislature or a referendum.
