[lbo-talk] California samesex Sup marriage ruling

[John Mage]

About 90 minutes ago, the San Francisco Superior Court invalidated the
state's ban on gay marriage saying, among other things, "The state's
protracted denial of equal protection cannot be justified simply because
such constitutional violation has become traditional."

Here's the current Chronicle story:

Love it. One of last year's few electoral pleasures was watching
straight liberal Wilsonian imperialist etc etc Democrats foaming with
bigoted rage over gay marriage becoming an issue, and knowing that they
shouldn't let it show.

They were able to keep out of the election the international crimes of
the invasion of Iraq & the widespread practice of torture supervised by
US officers and secret police , but gay marriage slipped out of their
control - those pesky fags and dykes in Massachusetts, and the city, and
New Paltz... it was SO unfair to the straight liberal democrats...heh...
