If California voters are opposed to something then it must be some radical viewpoint and not even close to the mainstream.

If all 9 justices of the Supreme Court agree, it must be a no-brainer right? Somehow all the law professors and deans and law schools except for GMU (I'm not a GMU student, nor was I ever) signed on to a lawsuit challenging the Solomon Amendment. Smackdown 9-0.

To equate the issues of Prop 8 with the civil rights movement of the last 400 years is insulting to the Civil Rights movement.

Prop 8 passed because black people don't like gays, and there was a huge black turnout because of Obama. Look at the numbers - Prop 8 failed among white people but had 70% support among blacks.

I don't respect gays because they focus too much on skin care, tight clothes and anal spelunking.

Question - Why has my work ISP been banned from commenting? I made a comment about boycotting ATL and it gets deleted and my ability to make comments removed. Elie and/or Lat, you got to chill the fuck out. Relax. Your over reaction and detour into useless information is bad enough, but censorship? Really???

Seriously, why do folks care if gays marry? How does it affect you? No one's trying to marry in your church. Don't we live in a secular country?

4, you need to understand the law a little better before you begin to argue it. The FAIR suit isn't even tenuously applicable here. Perhaps, also, you should take a little look at history, and you'll see you see the similarities. Just because you don't support the gay rights movement, doesn't mean that it isn't valid or similar in many ways to the civil rights movement or the women's suffrage movement. A powerful majority in all three cases justified its suppression of a weaker minority by various specious means.
