California Supreme Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban

The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday to strike down two laws that had limited marriage unions to those between a man and a woman. The 4-3 decision will make California the second state after Massachusetts to allow same sex marriages. The decision will become effective in 30 days unless the courts grant a stay. Of course it was denounced by the various religious groups who seem to have forgotten that this country's forefathers came here to escape the oppression of the lack religious freedom and freedom in general. Apparently, they believe that our forefathers only wanted white male Christians to have complete freedom in our country. I have to say that I am happy about this decision. I am happy about it not just because I am homosexual and intend to one day marry my current girlfriend, and I am happy about it not just because my current girlfriend and I intend to move to California in the next 2-5 years. I am also happy about it because I believe in complete freedom as long as said freedom does not directly harm another person who is helpless to make decisions for themselves. I feel like people in this world and country do billions of things on a daily basis that I don't agree with on multiple levels, but that is not any reason for me to take away the freedom that they have to do those things. I feel like if someone wants to marry another human being or even multiple human beings and that if all of those people are of sound mind and consent then let them be free to do it. I don't think it is my business to choose for someone else what their life will be like. I don't believe that my view of the world is necessarily the "true" version and even if it is I don't believe I have the right to force that version of the world on others. If no one is being physically abused and everyone is adult and consenting then I figure do as you please. I and many other children on a daily basis are allegedly and proveably damaged emotionally and psychologically by our heterosexual 1 and 2 parent households and their relatives. If we are to protect emotional and psychological well-being of children then we have a lot of people to prosecute as opposed to choosing to persecute only one or two groups of people for what the masses are doing.

Oklahoma Republican Representative Kerns Homosexual Hate Speech Quote 14

She says "I am not anti... I am not gay-bashing... but according to God's word that is not the right kind of lifestyle." Ok obviously this woman can read but she has a bit of a comprehension problem. If you review the bible you will find that the New Testament basically (for lack of a better way of putting it) makes the Old Testament null and void as anything other than a historical document. This means that ALL of the laws of Leviticus and others are no longer valid. If they were then she would be breaking the law by having pierced ears, short hair, shaved legs, eating shrimp, having sex on her period, not washing herself with charred ox bone etc. When people argue about the homosexual lifestyle based on the bible they most frequently quote from Leviticus in the same texts that are right next to the ones they are breaking, and when asked in separate conversations why they are breaking those laws they will tell you that those laws are no longer valid and that you have to take them in context of what was going on at that time historically. Yet, for whatever reason they forget their own words when speaking of homosexuality. Goofballs incapable of comprehension apparently because they cannot figure out that the laws of the old testament do not apply since the new testament came about and they cannot figure out that the old testament that they refer to when arguing against homosexuality is the same old testament where you can reference the laws that they are also breaking.

Oklahoma Republican Representative Kerns Homosexual Hate Speech Quote 8

She says "it's the death now of this country...I honestly think it's the biggest threat that our nation has even more so than terrorism...or Islam, which I think is a big threat." So apparently if I sleep with my girlfriend in the privacy of our own home and then expect not to be killed for it by a Christian Terrorist who is fighting for the world to be forced to live by their standards I am threatening society more than a terrorist. I only wish that my sex was so the bomb that it could actually create one. I wonder what her basis for this belief is? The majority of homosexuals are peaceful people who don't harm a flea. The most frequent molestation of children is committed by straight men, the majority of serial killers are straight men, the most frequent amount of killing in current times is committed in mass quantities in the name of Christianity, hate crimes against minorities are most frequently committed by straight white males. So what exactly is the threat? What is so threatening about someone sleeping with a consenting same sex adult of sound mind in the privacy of their own home and then coming out of their home with the expectation of safety? What is so threatening about someone wanting the right to marry who they want or to have health benefits? If this is a threat to our national security then how do we choose which groups are a threat when they get these privileges and which ones are not? In this country we have already had laws on the books banning marriage between blacks and between inter-racial couples until it was deemed unconstitutional (which took years). Let's get over it and either let every consenting adult of sound mind get married to whomever they choose and receive the benefits that are included in that group or let's ban everyone who shouldn't get married. Let's toss people who have broken the sanctitiy of marriage by adultry, wife beating, or divorce into jail. (that includes all those preachers you hear about all of the time) Lets create a system so that before you can marry or breed you must pass an IQ test and if you pass that you must then take a parenting test and take it again and again until you pass before being permitted to marry and breed. Then once we do that we can toss parents in jail who failed to protect their children from harm, to keep them out of jail, to keep them from bullying others, to keep them from shooting up schools, to pass their classes etc. etc. I mean if our laws are made for protecting the sanctity of marriage and family don't you think it only makes sense to heavily punish those who have received health benefits and other benefits under a false promise to abide by such laws? Hey! I have an idea... while we are at it let's make this a communist country!!
