Gay marriage won't be allowed to resume until state and federal appeals courts decide the fate of Proposition 8, the voter initiative that limited marriage to heterosexual couples, three federal judges ruled Wednesday.
Where to begin? My marriage is rather gay, thank you. But contrary to the misleading wording, same-sex (no requirement they actually be homosexual individuals) ceremonies are "allowed", as they have been for many, many years. The reality here is that such couples are not being given state marriage licenses. California's constitutional amendment voted in as Proposition 8 "limited" state marriage licensing to bride+groom couples, regardless of the sexual orientations of the individuals – you know, actual marriages.
Sloppy and biased language is used throughout the short blog entry.
The bottom line is that no neutered licenses will be issued in California unless, and at least until, the federal appeals court decides to tell a state not to follow its own constitution.
Over at my namesake blog, I look at a couple of letters the Los Angeles Times published about the Crystal Cathedral's recent action.
