thistlechaserCalif. Court Voids S.F. Same-Sex Marriages.
Be that as it may, I still believe it was the right decision to marry the couples. Hopefully lawmakers will come out of the dark age and change the law soon.
Even after all this time, I still just totally boggle over people being against same-sex marriages. Why? Why? Why? If someone was forcing YOU to marry someone of the same sex, I could understand being against it, but no one is forcing anything on you. All adults should be free to make their own decisions on where and how to live, where and how to love, etc. (See that important word in there? "Free"? Something we're supposed to be here in America...)
Bah. If you don't like something or don't believe in it, then don't do it! But what in the world, what in the world, makes some people feel like what they believe should be forced upon everyone else?
Let's make a deal, people: No one will force you into a marriage with a gender that you aren't attracted to, and in return you stop trying to do the same.
Love is love is love is love. What gives one adult the right to tell another adult who to love?
*sigh* I just don't get people. Your beliefs are your own! You have no right to force them onto others! And sure as heck the laws should not be based on religious beliefs! "Separation of church and state", anyone?
Bah.
Edit: Rereading the story, at least it's not the end of the fight. It's just that in this case it was done incorrectly. Maybe there's still hope... (But I still don't believe they should be voided.)

Awwww. :)
