No, everyone will still call it marriage. No one is going to ask someone to "civil union" them. No one is going to ask priest or judge to "civil union" them and their partner. No one is going to ask someone else if they're "civil unioned". No one is going to have a civil union anniversary. No one is going to say, "With this ring, I thee civil union."

The term marriage will still be used. I'm just sayin'. It's a fight you will never win.

I think we should all come up with words that only certain groups are allowed to use. Then there should be laws that say that no other group is allowed to use that word.....what do y'all think?

They didn't block the referendum because there is no procedure that allows them to do it. The proper way under the California Constitution will be for them to review it, if and when the referendum were to pass. There's nothing shocking about it...if you understand California procedure....just as it wasn't shocking that they refused requests from out of state right-wing groups to stay their ruling until after the election.

I am bookmarking this post, and when you start howling about this on November 5 after the amendment is voted down, I'm going to call you on it.

We'll see if this will turn out to another jim crow law.

But I'm curious, how is this breaking news?

Seems the same usual homophobic suspects at work again.

Should homosexuals also not be called "citizens" but "civil inhabitants"? Why should the same definition have two different names based on social class?

Not to mess up the delusional world that you leftist dwell in, but people like A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins & Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. would have most assuredly been opposed to "gay marriage", as these people & many of their contemporaries were conservative in regards to social, moral and cultural issues. They were blacks who were seeking to have an equal place in society, not seeking to overthrow any generally accepted cultural/social norms.

The modern identity-politico leftist applies a civil right claim to anything that they don't like about traditional society & often alludes to the struggle of blacks in our country's history. If you are opposed to any of the left's social re-engineering machinations, well then you're no better than an angry bigot from the 1950's South with a firehose in your hand.

So what? Plato supported democracy, but he also supported slavery and was blatantly misogynistic. Who said that if someone has one good idea then ALL of their ideas must be good? Who said that Martin Luther King was perfect?

On the gay marriage issue? You ARE no better than an angry bigot with a firehose in your hand. And no, I'm not exaggerating to make a point. That is exactly what you are. Hopefully in a few decades, you'll look back on your bigoted views and cringe, just as ex-segregationists do today.
