it is more... ‘nanny nanny boo boo - you closed the door but we already got 18,000 ‘marriages’ on the books’.
Now those 18,000 ‘married’ couples will be lobbying to have their marriages re-recognized.
it is not a good decision.
they pretty much made it clear that ‘they’ were on the other side of the issue.
I am not clear on whom you refer to as they (the gay/lesbian group or the jurist?). I do consider a recognition of marriage as being between a man and a woman as considered and affirmed on numerous occasions by the majority of the voters a good decision. Furthermore why someone who is recognized would want to be re-recognized would be somewhat redundant.
