As I expected, the California Supreme Court gave a big F.U. to the will of the people, and legalized gay “marriage” in the state.
California’s Supreme Court declared gay couples in the nation’s biggest state can marry – a monumental but perhaps short-lived victory for the gay rights movement Thursday that was greeted with tears, hugs, kisses and at least one instant proposal of matrimony.
Same-sex couples could tie the knot in as little as a month. But the window could close soon after – religious and social conservatives are pressing to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would undo the Supreme Court ruling and ban gay marriage.
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: My question to the gay rights activists who pressed this in the courts: Are you stupid? I mean, seriously – here’s a year when strong-with-hispanics McCain has a shot at winning California against weak-with-hispanics Obama, and you – in an act of pure self-centeredness – have to press an issue which will add to McCain’s strength an energised and united conservative base coming out in November to send gay marriage down in flames at the polls, as has happened every single time it comes on the ballot in the United States.
Stupid, stupid, stupid…but, hey, we’ll take it and thanks very much.
