The California Supreme Court has overturned the state’s ban on gay marriage today, “paving the way for California to become the second state where gay and *** residents can marry.” The court stated that “an individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights.”

Two Democrats in IN. kept this issue from coming up for a hearing, so that the same sex  marriage issue could be put on the ballot this fall in IN. They know that the voters will overwhelmingly vote down same sex marriage. It is only through such munipulations and pseudo "civil rights laws" that these laws are being passed. The deck IMO is always stacked, even though they declare  that this ruling was made by Republican appointees.

Where is separation of church and state here? Marriage is a religious ceremony, no? Has the STATE overstepped its bounds?

I'm Catholic, I don't see this type of marriage happening in my church.

I do see hotels and other venues in the wedding business just salivating about all that stupid money spent on a wedding...

Where are you investing?  Your vote for your soul or your pocketbook? Which is it?

The soul, Lulu!  The Catholic Church offers compassion, but I hope never acceptance.

Catholic also.

Tim,

It boggles the mind that this issue has gone this far, I can only say that money is propelling it in my mind, some lobbyist is really pushing this for the big bucks.

Most Americans are against it ...so why the push? Big Bucks Want It?

Compassion is truly the Christian outlook here, acceptance can never occur in the church under those terms, but we can pray for minds to turn to God.

Lulu
