Schwarzenegger: Let Gays Marry Immediately
Life Site News ^ | August 10, 2010 | James Tillman

SACRAMENTO, California, August 9, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is urging Judge Vaughn Walker to discontinue the stay that the judge placed on the enforcement of his own ruling against Proposition 8, and to thereby let homosexuals marry.

Judge Walker issued his explosive decision against traditional marriage last week; however, he decided to enjoin enforcement of his order and not to allow gay “marriages” to commence immediately in the state, pending the inevitable appeal of his ruling by defenders of true marriage.

"The Administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the Court’s judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California,” wrote attorney Kenneth C. Mennemeier, representing Schwarzenegger, in a brief for Walker.

"Doing so is consistent with California's long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect."

While Schwarzenegger, as governor of California, was technically the lead defendant in the case to protect the constitutional amendment put in place by Prop. 8, he fled the legal battle and declined to defend marriage, forcing other law firms to step forward and defend California's own constitution in his stead.

In addition to Schwarzenegger, California Attorney General Jerry Brown and the City of San Francisco have also issued briefs opposing the stay placed on Judge Walker’s decision.

Schwarzenegger has a history of supporting homosexualist causes: he has previously raised funds for homosexual causes and endorsed gay pride events.

Nevertheless, he also in the past vetoed bills legalizing same sex “marriage,” in 2005 and in 2007.

Schwarzenegger praised Judge Walker for what he said was his fairness over the course of the trial, after Walker's decision was released on Wednesday.

"[Judge Vaughn Walker] heard in-depth arguments from both sides on fundamental questions of due process, equal protection and freedom from discrimination," said the governor in a statement.  "There are strong feelings on both sides of this issue, and I am glad that all viewpoints were respected throughout the proceedings."

Schwarzenegger also promised further steps along the same path.

"[The judge’s decision] is by no means California's first milestone, nor our last, on America's road to equality and freedom for all people," he said.

Schwarzenegger’s brain has been turned into Maypo by years of steroid abuse.

A peek under the pants indicates a certain anatomical incompatibility.

I am MOST grateful for the way God designed boys and girls to fit together in the original design.

Arnie, they can have it at this point. Maybe they can produce a bunch of little turd babies that you can celebrate and send to government schools for democrat indoctrination...

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

I don’t give a flying fxxx what the gays do so long as they stay out of my face.
I don’t want them teaching gay/lesbian/transvestite life styles to kids.
I don’t want them flaunting PDA. It is revolting & disgusting.

Their private lifestyle does not bother me.

shut up ahnold.

There is no rational basis to allow queers to marry: it defeats the purpose of marriage.

Oh, Awnode.

Met a priest who knew both he and the little lady back in the day.

Maybe we should pray for them.

I think there’s more to this marriage thing than meets the eye and it doesn’t have to do with votes ... I wonder if Obamanomics has a provision to increase taxes for those that are married. There is the push in Mexico and now here ... let’s face it, NOTHING becomes law unless there is money to be paid to the government.

I have nothing against homosexuals, as such. As long as they don’t bother other individuals I don’t care what they do.

But I will never sit at the same table with a ‘married’ couple of the same sex.

I have my personal limits and I don’t care what the rest of this insane society ‘accepts’. I won’t be a part of this destruction.

It’s unnatural and it’s a blatant attack on the human family.

The whole purpose is to let “gays” collect surviving spouse social security, half the pension, life insurance benefits, and all the other stuff that married couples can get. It’s all about the money. Oh, and it’s also about hatred of the “breeders”, whom the more militant gay folks seem to hold in contempt despite the fact that their own parents were breeders (unfortunately, perhaps).

It is the backdoor to taking away parental rights....if biology doesn’t matter, then the state is just as good. The Natural Rights of children to have a biological mother and father becomes null and void.

This is why it is unconstitutional to pass homosexual marriage—because it gives two men a right to deprive a child of their biological mother.

Child’s Natural Rights is guaranteed in the Constitution which is based on Natural Law Theory (at least was before abortion rights which also defy Natural Law and Rights to Life, etc.).

It is another way to make the Constitution invalid and a worthless scrap of paper, no longer based on reason and logic and science but on “feelings”. Of course, this is “progressive” and the Constitution is “evolving” because it is a living breathing document like the Progressive Hilliary says.
