Cali Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Gay Marriage

Ruled just within the last 15 minutes. What a concept, the court when with the "will of the people" rather than "make it up as you go" regards proposition 8. HOWEVER (using logic that escapes me) they allowed to let stand those 18,000 "marriages" which Gavin Newsome (SF mayor) allowed to propagate. So here's the deal -- if you want to do something like marry your car, or goldfish or whatever, because there's no explict law against it, get some idiot like Gavin to let you do it 1st.

    Probably Digi and some of our other lawyer friends can clarify this somewhat, but those 18,000 "marriages" could be considered "grandfathered".

    Of course, in reality, partners in a homosexual "commitment" will never be grandfathers or grandmothers.

    in real life, no, but with "gay adoptions" allowed, the kids will be taught that these people are their "grandparents

    Just give them all an island and drop food supplies by helicopter. They will be extinct in a generation. Oh, did I say that? Yes, I guess I did.

    Para, there's always the possibility of the state sending them "hard to place children" by parachute drop!
