"The evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples," wrote Judge Walker in a 138- page ruling.

They are. Why should the judge think otherwise?

Meanwhile, I see nothing that precludes gay people from getting married. Lot's of gay and lesbian people are married, with the same rights as every other human being in this country -- to someone of the opposite sex.

Heterosexuals can't marry people of the same sex, just like Homosexuals. The rights are identical.

The judge confuses rights with desires. The fact that a homosexual might not WANT to marry a person of the opposite sex does not change the fact that they have the right to do so; the fact that a heterosexual might not WANT to marry a person of the same sex does not change the fact that the heterosexual is banned from doing so.

I think the judge should next forbid the NBA from preventing me from being a center for the LA Lakers. After all, it's not my fault I'm 50 years old and a 5-foot 5-inch white guy. I should obviously have the same rights to play center for the LA lakers as some really tall black guy. Equal rights and all.

I agree.

I suggest that you show up for practice and sue when they have you arrested.

Don’t forget to drop me a Freep Mail and let me know what Psych ward you end up in so I can visit.

And just incase some judge does rule in your favor (after all with all of the stupid court rulings in the last 100 years why should I suppose that you would not win). Send me a signed jersey.
