Interesting turn of events..........

USA-Partisan: Counties to Supreme Court on 'gay' marriage: Drop dead By Bob Unruh

7 July 2008

At least two counties in California have begun reviewing a plan to uphold the state's laws regarding marriage as being between one man and one woman and disregard a state Supreme Court opinion that has yet to be implemented by the Legislature.

The issue is that while the Supreme Court opinion struck down Proposition 22 as unconstitutional it did not, indeed under California's Constitution the court does not have the power, to rewrite all of the state statutes referring to marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Only the legislature or the people can rewrite laws, and that has not happened even at this point nearly two months after the opinion was released and the state has started licensing same-sex "marriages" on altered state forms.

I think this is sad, but I'm not surprised. There is still a lot of bigotry out there.

I'm sorry, but do you really think that this is an issue that is just going to go away and that people's opinions won't progress on it as time goes by? I think it's rather safe to bet that gay marriage will probably be legal within the next 10 years. You can try and stand in the way of progress all you want, but it certainly won't stop it.

I doubt it, not in your life time or mine, in fact more states every year are banning gay marriage with constitutional amendments.............

The problem with your theory though is that there are still a considerable amount of people who have a lot of misconceptions about homosexuality based on poorly constructed stereotypes or just pure ignorance. The more people understand the more people will be in support of gay marriage. It's really only a matter of time. I think it will happen a lot sooner than you realize.

If you practice bigotry that makes you a bigot.........These people are not bigots..........They just happen to have a difference of opinion on the subject of gay marriage.....

Not when states are approving by huge majorities bans against gay marriage.......
