the world’s cultures all consulted about how to put down gay people and came up with marriage as the solution.Iowahawk tweets the question:
If Prop 8 has been overturned, does that make it Prop Infinity?No, but that's how long the appeals process will continue.
Update: Mr. W. w/ an excellent comment.
OK, gender is no longer essential, but does this judge at any point tell us what IS essential for marriage? That's a serious question, because I believe there can be no answer at all if "gender" is not essential.
Our judge-philosopher who must know an "essential" in order to make such a ruling, has not expanded marriage, he has abolished it. I defy anyone to give me anything that is "essential" to marriage now, i.e., just say what it really is. I say it can't be done.
