California's Top Court Legalizes Gay Marriage

SAN FRANCISCO - California's Supreme Court declared that gay couples in the nation's most populous state can marry — a monumental but perhaps short-lived victory for the gay rights movement Thursday that was greeted with tears, hugs, kisses and at least one instant proposal of matrimony.

[This is the law @ work, trying to do that which is naturally impossible.]

How is the end near?
Gay marriage has been legal at your backyard (south Africa) and the world didn't end. Now that it's been made legal in far away California, you feel the end is near?

As much as i don't like the idea of homosexuality and gay marriage, i don't think anybody has the right to stop a people from practising what they believe in. So long it does not infringe on another person's right.

I believe homosexuality is a societal vice that shuold be stamped out and not encouraged.
Man was not created by God or by ''chance'' to be homosexuals. Every nation in this world should
disregard the arguement of all pro-homos and maitain purely the system as odained by God or ''nature''
No man is born a GAY.

They can legalise gay marriage as much as they want, it doesn't bother me - but I draw the line when it comes to gay adoption.

More woe to those who consider it a religious obligation to marry infants to old men.

I was glad when I heard this and I think more states should follow suit.


Well I believe gay people should be allowed to adopt. But they should also be subject to the same rigorous checks as heterosexual couples planning to adopt.

Thankfully,the people of California have a chance to override this ruling when their referendum is held to change the California constitution.

It is shameful that judges arrogate to themselves,law making powers to ignore popular will.

LMAO! . . . Priceless.

popular will in the 60's was to continue segregation, popular will in chicago during the 70's was to keep housing aid away from african americans. it's the job of the court to protect the rights of MINORITIES which homosexuals are.  lack of marriage rights means homosexuals won't have  access to tax benefits, employment and insurance benefits etc.  ignorance has to be challenged at some point.

for those against homosexual adoption,  do u support increased tax money to pay for foster parents and  orphanages.  do u plan to adopt a baby?? if not then u should be grateful that an homosexual household wants to give a child  an happy life.  studies from the APA have shown kids from homosexual households do just fine.  what a bunch of bigots

Nope,popular will was against the continuation of segegration by the 50s,never mind the 60s.

So I take it, it is okay to have incest, buggery and necrophilics?

Mate, we have all rights to stop immorality, perversion and deviancy in our community irrespective of if some believe in it. There will be those that would be unhappy but tough.

 

Tornadoz, don't worry men. I don't only take a chill pill, I create them as well. 

Unfortunately, the "blast" and "fun" you are talking about is not for me. I catch my fun in a completely different way.

It makes me laugh as well as infuriate me when gay people and their supporters try to gain credibility for their gay perversion by sticking their cause like a leech to civil rights causes. It is laughable and annoying.

If you live in the UK, you will notice that the gay rights campaigner, Peter Thatchell, will always make a reference to racism before "homophobia" (if the word is even legitimate) IN ALL HIS SPEECHES. That way he ensures that anybody that disagrees with him risk the tag of being labelled likely a racist. CHEAP PROPAGANDA!

Let me make it as clear as the finest pacific beaches to you why there is hardly any link between the two.

RACISM is discrimination based on SUPERIORITY.

ANTI-GAY is "discrimination" based on MORALITY. (note the quotation marks)

SUPERIORITY and MORALITY are two completely different context contrary to the brainwashing they give some of you in the pro-gay western world.

What next?

Paedophiles comparing their "discrimination" to the black cause?

Actually they are close to that in Denmark where they have a paedophile association that campaigns for their members rights. What a joke!

You can put Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Ethnicism etc in the same context.

But please, pretty please, don't put anti-gay in that category. It is in the ball park with Incest, Buggery and Necrophilia, a morality deviancy induced existence.

Even if I said Hi to may gay neighbours that does not mean I have to accept their disgusting activities.

I know it is a difficult message to put across. Everyone seems to be more comfortable with messages of love and peace (it gives a misconception that one is a faultless, liberal and  infinitely nice human being) but some messages that don't fall in this two categories need to be put across as well. I have no problem doing that if opportunities allow me.

PS: Before anyone comes here and talk some crap about being open-minded, I am extremely open-minded and liberal individual, but because I am open-minded does not mean I have switched off my mind's filter function.

o really, the midwestern part of the US remains highly segregated.  u are wrong given the popularity of anti-segregation politicians during that era.  just because it's popular will doesn't it's right.  i support this ruling just like the one in massachusetts.

This one na bad one  o! Very very unpleasant news. You have spoilt my day with this.

Texazzpete,

I will take heart that MY moral values would rule in my motherland Nigeria rather than YOUR moral values.

We would never allow the decriminalisation in Nigeria.

That is were my power to affect change matters to me the most. Not in US, not in Japan, not in Thailand but in NIGERIA.

NO LEGITIMATE FAGGOT ACTIVITIES IN MY MOTHERLAND.

And if people like you want to bring it from where you are, we will make sure you fail.

Texazzpete,

My bad. I did not know you were just another americano wannabe.

Seeing a forumname like yours I assumed your were trying to use a name that links to where you are. It is a common cognitive guess that one easily falls for due to the name-tag trends on the internet and the fact that a lot of naija's live in Texas. Just like if I was on forum and I see a user name of "Naijaboy", it would be almost safe to assume he was black and Nigerian. But he could end up being a Lebanese boy living in Nigeria. So you can't really call it stupid except you have poor analytical skills.

So whilst we are on the stupid supposition, how did you arrive at the conclusion of my position on enforced juvenile marriages? Have you opened a thread on this and you saw my opinion before you smartly(?) assumed I don't object to it.

This thread is about faggotism and I am wee to smart to allow gay supporters distract the argument by lame association to civil rights or juvenile abuse which are mutually exclusive from the argument.

What next? You will be telling me that what gave me the rights to criticise faggots when African parents are forcing kids to do maths when the child's innate skills is in arts?

I have nothing but contempt for dumbos.
