I kind of expect the 9th Circus to take it up at some point and try to force the abomination on the entire country at the same time it “strikes down” the California marriage amendment when it passes or even before it pases.
This is on a runaway train headed straight for SCOTUS. Within a week, there will be a lawsuit filed by a Nevada/Utah/Idaho/pick any state gay couple in the United States District Court, challenging the full faith and credit clause in the U.S. Constutition, when they get married in California and are told by their home state that their marriage is not, and will not, be recognized as lawful in Nevada/Utah/Idaho/pick any state.
Also, I think Blacks are not really keen on Gays comparing their “struggles” with those of the African-American community. As one Black friend of mine put it: “during the Civil Rights movement, you couldn’t exactly HIDE the fact that you were black. Gays, on the other hand, don’t have to let anyone know they’re gay until they want to. It isn’t like anyone in Montgomery was going to through a sissy-boy off the bus for sittin’ up front!”
Gov. Patterson of NY has demonstrated that it’s simply up to the Gov. to force state agencies to recognize gay marriages in any state, even if they are not legally able to perform them.
