“I dont know that I would have used the Q word to describe the judge. Liberal or anti-constitutional perhaps. Using words like the one you did does not help your argument.”
I’d go further and say knee-jerk responses only make the judge’s case, that people oppose same-sex marriage only because they are prejudiced, for him. Those of us in favor of traditional marriage need to become more intelligent in our arguments, and stop charging head-first into the traps our enemies lay for us.

Bah. The judge doesn't have a case, at all. Since when does it matter what our motivations are when we go to the polls? This judge thinks that a measure like Prop 8 would have merit as long as nobody who voted for it felt disapproval for homosexual behavior, but that the law is invalid if some people voted for it because of purely religious or moral reasons? What a load of bunk, and you appear to be falling for it! This judge has effectively disenfranchised all members of Christianity if his decision is allowed to stand, because, in his warped view, Christian morals and ethics are an insufficient basis for voting.
Is this sodomite judge going to vacate the 2008 election of Obama because so many people voted for him specifically because of his skin color? If voting for a measure based on religious values is sufficient to void that vote, then why wouldn't voting based on racial prejudice be a valid reason for voiding a vote?
And one more question, when, exactly, did this bastard of a judge gain the power to read minds in the first place? How does he even know what people were thinking when they voted?

>>> The fact that a single gay judge was allowed to hear this case and overturn the will of the people is far more disturbing than the posters use of the word queer
I understand your point but what would you have said to a gay man who would make the same objection if a heterosexual federal judge had upheld the ban? Would you have called him a fool ? Done a WAAAHHHH WAHHH post ?
There are more important issues to argue here. Crude name calling, not so much.

“people oppose same-sex marriage only because they are prejudiced”
And ...? Do you oppose men who belong to NAMBLA pursuing little boys? Is that “prejudice”? Do you oppose a lifestyle in which men eroticize the hairy waste elimination sphincter of other males and organize parades to celebrate that preference?
Now tell me what is wrong with a little common sense “prejudice”?

You are absolutely correct that 50-state same-sex "marriage" will not be the end of it, Dilbert. It is a fatal blow to family and civilization, to be sure, but the homo-anarchists are after more. They want absolute normalization and acceptance, on par with normal marriage, and they will do whatever is necessary to enact this, by ruthless force if necessary.
Don't think that churches are off limits. The homo-lobby has itself admitted that Christianity and Christians are the biggest obstacles to enacting their full agenda. If this outrageous judge can rule as he has just so that "gays" can feel good about themselves, then there is little else that cannot be mandated for the same reason.
