After Final Arguments in Prop. 8 Trial, Maggie Gallagher Expects Judge will Overturn

Re: After Final Arguments in Prop. 8 Trial, Maggie Gallagher Expects Judge will Overt

Because race is a proven genetic trait.

Sexual orientation is not.

really? So there's a "Caucasian" gene? Or a "hispanic" gene?

Like me they have equal rights......They can marry anyone of the opposite sex...Like Polygamists they want special rights......-
No, you can marry a woman and I cannot. That is not equal rights. You have a right that I do not have.

They have no right to overturn prop 8. This would be a giant smack to the face of democracy. the people voted and prop 8 set marriage as a man and woman in California. How dare they do this, if it is overturned this would just be a disgrace to democracy and a defeat for the rights of voters.

Which is why America is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy. In a Republic, there are certain rights that the majority CANNOT take away from the majority. That's why we have a constitution. Marriage has been recognized as a fundamental right (Loving v. Virginia 1967) and therefore the California voters had no right to take this away from gays and lesbians. It called avoiding the tyranny of the majority.

I'm really sick of this ****. We have more important issues to worry about then what gays are doing, Jesus H. Christ, if we put as much effort into energy independence and stopping poverty as we do in demonizing gays, we might actually get somewhere as a species.

But nope, clearly what the gays are doing is more important, somehow if we stop them from getting married, there'd be no ****ing deficit!

So where in the constitution is the requirement that genetic traits are the only protection worthy class?

As far as I know, religion is not a genetic trait.

Why'd you go and give the punchline away? :D

I hope this judge honors gay rights by keeping the Domestic Partnership laws gays fraught so hard to get. Over turning prop8 would be one of the most homophobic acts the government could inflict of the gay community.

Sorry about that. You have to TELL me when you're trying to trap someone and I'm at work. When I only have a few minutes to post, I tend to just go straight for the jugular.;)
