Only the second state in the Greatest Democracy Ever to make it legal for Gay Men & Woman to marry. In a 4 to 3 decision, the California Supreme’s noted that while there is a civil registry, union in place, it simply is NOT ENOUGH of a guarantee. Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?
But in the justices’ recent 4-3 decision, they stated that domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage. (source - CBC News)
Now you just know that the religious right wing nuts will be out in force seeking a Constitutional Ban on same sex marriage, because after all, the Rule of Law doesn’t count in the United States, least not when it comes to pushing their own narrow religious views on the Minorities of the country.
Rather sad that, but in all honesty, how can it be anything but Marriage?
If people want to be kept safe, to have their rights guaranteed, the only safe way is to insure that it can’t be trampled on by future legislation, or that if someone does want to, they’d have to make it universal. Now we know that isn’t going to happen, which is why it really is essential to have it as Marriage.
The California Supreme Court, narrowly, saw it that way too. After all, isn’t the precept, One Law for All?
