A Ware of an Appeal

The ProtectMarriage.com people have filed an appeal of Ware's decision. There will be howls of protest against this by the very people who themselves use every legal system tactic they can, and invent some, to try to get things their way. They will portray filing an appeal as some sort of outrageous move.

Dan Levine reports for Reuters has a story entitled "Gay Marriage Foes Appeal Ruling on Gay U.S. Judge". First of all, it is same-sex "marriage". I know this is a widespread mistake, but let's be accurate. Secondly, their focus is on preserving the monogamous bride+groom requirement in marriage, not on being "foes" of anything.

The story is the expected mischaracterization of the case, complete with biased language.

Oh, and despite how the biased media always writes these stories, the existing bride+groom requirements, are NOT a "ban on same-sex marriage." I can correct them as often as they make that "mistake".
