proposition 8

The Supreme Court is expected to announce some big rulings soon on cases involving same-sex marriage. I'm not super knowledgeable of the details, but I think the main cases in question are: United States v. Windsor This could potentially strike down DOMA, or parts of DOMA and give legally...

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Today, a Federal appeals court ruled that a gay judge's opinion is just as valid as a straight judge's. The ruling that threw out Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California, has been upheld. Glad to hear it.

While there are many conceivable reasons why a judge should recuse himself from a case, the mere fact of his sexuality does not seem like a valid reason. If there is any doubt on this point, I ask for an example of a case where a heterosexual judge should recuse himself merely because he is...

http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_15548018?source=rss Makes sense to me. If people are so fired up to protect marriage, then protect the marriages that already exist. I wonder if other law makers will follow suit in other states. I wonder how many divorcees voted against gay...

As many now know, the US Supreme Court issued a stay of video streaming of a trial in California pertaining to gay marriage. Read the document here. After reading this, I had a strong feeling of deja vu. It reminded me a lot of the abortion decisions, Bush v. Gore. (The Bush v. Gore...

"In Massachusetts, where more than 10,000 same-sex couples have married since 2004, the courts don't keep a breakdown of gay and heterosexual divorces. But Joyce Kauffman, a member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, said probably more than 100 gay divorces have been granted in...

Prop. 8 campaign can't hide donors' names I think this is quite ridiculous. Concomitant with the freedom to speak is the freedom to remain anonymous when you do, for the very reasons this lawsuit was filed in the first place: the possibility (and in the case of Prop 8 the very real risk) of...

Split from here. People hate perversion. It's only natural human behavior. Rapists, murderers, homosexuals, and child molesters, engage in perversion. People will always reject perverts and their lifestyle. The recent vote in Califorina backs this up.

I oppose Proposition 8 and I have no love for the Catholic church. But this goes way, way too far. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/01/05/BA5B1540PH.DTL Note to the San Francisco tolerance bullies: you're not helping.

Ok, admittedly I'm not form California so I didn't see the original ad, and commentary, and I'm working backwords from the OpEd taking the other side in today's Herald: Gay Sponsored Commercial -> Mormon's knock on Gay Couple's Door, force their way in, and take their wedding rings, and rip up...

I am very pleased with Barack Obama's win.... but I have to say my exuberance is tempered with a good bit of sadness for the passage of Prop 8 in California. The sadly ironic part. The gay community was almost completely behind Barack but in the end, from the poll numbers I have heard, it was...

Assuming proposition 8 passes in California next week, what recourse is there for the LGBT community and its supporters? Is there any protocol for rescinding a state constitutional amendment without actually proposing another ballot initiative next year? What of voter initiatives that are...
