SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A person close to the case says a federal judge has overturned California's same-sex marriage ban in a landmark case that could eventually land before the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Bull. This forces taxpayers to pay for benefits for gay "couples" as if they were "traditional" couples. Such benefits were approved by taxpayers decades ago and were intended to help families when there was an untimely death of a father/mother, or other such situation."

Yep and that is why we should never allow the government to meddle in such things, because someone eventually trots out the "Equal protection" argument and then we slide a little further down the slippery slope.

Rule of law is exactly what this is about.

Well it sure ain't about bigotry.

These judges haven’t been confined by the rule of law for a long time, making their decisions based on their ideals for society. the people are held in check with that phrase, but at some point, the judges must also play by the rule of law. Just look at that ridiculous decision that came out of Arizona a couple weeks ago, and tell me about the rule of law.

I won't argue with any of that, but it doesn't make this decision wrong, as much as you want it to.

Just think of it this way, most of those gays would just as soon deny Conservatives the same benefits in order to force them out of society.

If they gained a minority they'd be okay doing that, no?

Conservatism is, after all, a choice, isn't it?

There is only one way to solve the homosexual problem.

[manc]

there has to be a way to stop these people from having their sham marriage.

One guy just said that this heals the wounds, er no like hell it does.

Will the GOP have the guts to uphold Biblical values as the foundation of this great nation? Or will we continue to be represented by RINOs?

Again, they do have the same benefits, that the rest of us do, to marry a person of the opposite. If we merely base the definition of "marriage" of being with the one you love, again, that opens it up to polygamy, pedophilia, bestiality, or any other abnormal arrangement you can think of.

5 - 4 overturn with Kennedy the swing vote. Remember he was the swing vote if I remember right in the Lawrence case.

Homosexuality is not a “characteristic” as you say.

It is a sickness. Or as it used to be known in the Psychiatric community, Deviant Behavior.

Behavior that is sick and wrong.

You have been brainwashed to believe this behavior is just an OK lifestyle choice.

I’m not “into” murder or rape as well, should we also consider this defiant behavior to be a lifestyle choice as well?

In my mind it is the same.

This isn’t about values....it is about wrongdoing. And yes, unnatural is correct as well.

Stop drinking the fag agenda kool-aid. Wrong is wrong.

[manc]

the judge should never have took this case anyway as he can profit from his own decision .

“The law already applies to gays equally, they can get married to a member of the opposite sex, just like the rest of us.”

And now, you can get married to a member of the same sex, just like them!

[dfwgator]

And now, you can get married to a member of the same sex, just like them!

Well Lah Dee Freakin' Dah!

“You’re welcome to continue disliking it, but you’re not welcome to force people to live by your values.”

The founders wrote a constitution that lays out the methods by which we govern ourselves. We have it within our power to amend that constitution. And that amendment will be binding on everyone who lives in this country.

IF the citizens of this country decide that the judges aren’t listening, we can pass a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage.

discriminating, O please give me a break and stop using these pervert talking points.

Do we dioscriminate against those who want more than one wife?
How about a donkey.

To them it is all about sex and they try to have the wek minded idiots that they are somewhat normal when clearly they are not and they are doing an unnatural act.

discriminate my ass.

[SkyPilot]

What a surprise, and activist judiciary.

God still does not condone their sin, no matter what they delude themselves into believing.

Hell is a terrible place - beyond description.

Christ is the only answer to sin.

Immoral judges can attempt to force their garbage on us, but we don't have to accept it.

Listen to this man. He was persecuted and tortured by the Communists for being a Christian. Forced to sit, for 17 hours a day, listening to propaganda, not allowed to lean his head, to scratch his face. This went on for weeks, months, and years.

"Tortured for Christ" Richard Wurmbrand

Get ready. It is coming.

Here, to where you live. To the USA. To America.

He said the first thing the Communists do is arrest all the Christians. Why do they do this?

These are evil people, and their real enemy is God. But, they can't kill Him. He will judge them, and take his vengeance.

Also forcing people to live by that [posters views, er no it is they who are trying to impose their disgusting agenda onto the people even though the people have said twice to them that they want normal marriage like it has been since this country was founded.

Now these homosexuals will not like it but that is the truth

If the judge had been a heterosexual Mormon or Catholic and had ruled to uphold Prop 8, I’m sure that there would be people who opposed it who would be screaming that he or she was biased. Would their allegations of bias have any more substance than yours?

[manc]

and does that apply to any kind of marriage or just those who get off by poking each other up the ass?

[manc]

did you get lost as this is a place where we do not approve of someone thinking they are in the right state of mind by poking each other up the ass or a woman wearing a strap on and then thinking she is a man?

Don’t believe me then contact JR who has said many times on here that this is not a place to spread the homosexual agenda

[manc]

NAIL ON HEAD

discrimination, well OK lets go with their argument so does the same homosexuals think it is alright for a man to have 4 wives?

If not then they are bring bigots and discriminating too
