CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT LEGALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE! 


Well, it looks like California at least, is a bit closer to civilized Europe than the rest of America. And oh boy, the conservative talk radio hosts must be frothing at their mouths.  FROTHING I say!

Definitely there will be a "one-man-one-woman" constitutional amendment on the state ballot this fall, and it is a fact that the previous law passed handily. That should give the conservatives some comfort.

BUT, that was eight years, and there has been some progress on accepting gays in the meantime. Also, it was an off year when that law passed, and those tend to be more conservative.

This year, with the Right disorganized and demoralized, AND with a hot Democratic candidate, AND six months to prepare, I'm cautiously optimistic that the amendment wouldn't pass. I'll need to look at some polling data to be sure, but that's my gut feeling.

But I'm not going to rest easy. For my part, as soon as an "anti-amendment" group starts up, I'm going to be volunteering my time.

A properly cynical approach would be to get hot lesbian couples to make out in public while wearing low-cut wedding gowns. If that had been the image of gay marriage, there would’ve been a federal amendment in support of it by now.

You know, slothman, I think you may have something there. Maybe organize highly publicized kiss-ins and show the video on youtube, youporn, Fark, etc..

You could get Anne Heche to be the spokesperson. I hear she's not busy these days...or maybe that's not a good idea.
