Calif. judge strikes down gay marriage ban

MSNBC - Calif. judge strikes down gay marriage ban

Huge. Breaking.

Arnold can't dodge; he's live on Hardball in 45 minutes...

FOLLOWUP: Despite California's vote for a gay marriage ban, Schwarzenegger would probably be the only politician with enough popularity and charisma to get away with calling his constituents bigots. Unfortunately he didn't do that. But he did seem to make it clear he's not gonna fight this man-on-dog style and seemed to hope Californians would "change their minds" (the phrase popped up a couple times). Arnold may be one of the only Republicans who doesn't NEED the queer-bashing hate mongering in order to win.

EVERY court ruling on this subject hs been in favor of equal rights. And I'm not going to call opposoition to it anything other than what it is. It's bigotry. That's right. If you don't think gay people deserve the same rights as everyone else, including the right to have their life partner sanctioned with equality, you are a redneck primitive narrow-minded bigoted asshole. And your "religion" does not give you the right to be a bigot. And no excuses about being too "old" to accepted a changing society. You're a bigot. Join the 21st Century NOW.

My preferred solution remains what it has been: get government out of the marriage business, make everything a civil union, and let the churches duke it out internally. "But then people will marry their roommates just to get health care!" Well, then, GIVE EVERYBODY HEALTH CARE and it won't be an issue! Jeez, WHY can't this be a civilized country like Canada!
