Now I'm going to go cut myself.
not really
I'm a little disappointed, and saddened, but then again, I tell myself that times will change.
Edit: Since this was sent to the CT, I decided to give it a more appropriate name and a proper reminder.
Obey the rules of the CT and the general forum rules; if anyone breaks any there will be ramifications and you will be held responsible for the actions of your account.

fundies? Hey, if the people don't want homosexual marriage, that's their prerogative. The Court never should have said it was legal in the first place if it was going to be put right back in the peoples' hands again. But then again, it is rather disappointing at the same time, seeing as if you can go to prison for a very long time for making dogs fight, then why is same gender marriage such a big issue? I never understand that. Animals are animals. Sure, you're a bad person for treating them badly, but people are people. Not that it really matters to me being that I prefer women, but it seems there's a serious priority issue if two people of the same gender getting married is a bigger negative issue than rooster fights. Seriously.

It's a bigger issue than parents knowing about their child's abortions (minors).
I think the court issue had to do with prop 22 of 2000? I'm not sure, but the guy behind it tried to push it further.

Rikonstruct: i don't think the government should sponsor marriage Rikonstruct: i think it should all be domestic partnerships Rikonstruct: and the people should decide for themselves if they're "married" or not under whatever value system they have

*Shrug* I'm glad it passed. It's incredibly sad when in some schools in California words like "Mother" or "Father" are not to be said in order to not bring offense to those who have gay or lesbian parents.

Having gone to California schools my entire life I can say that this is definitely not the case. Stop believing the religious lies and hype plz.

Not everyone who doesn't support gay marriages is a fundie. :/ I have family and friends who don't support it. They're not fundamentalists who run around saying homosexuals are the scourge of the earth. It's just something they don't agree with.
That being said, not everyone who supports gay marriages is homosexual. I have friends who are bisexual and homosexual. That's their decision. I know people who support them who aren't bisexual or homosexual. :/
But I think both sides can take it too far in this war for marriage.
It's just a matter of what people believe.
Where I live, we're not allowed to call our Spring or Winter break "Easter Break" or "Christmas Break" because of the need to be politically correct. They're "Spring" and "Holiday" breaks. :/

They're not fundamentalists who run around saying homosexuals are the scourge of the earth. It's just something they don't agree with. Fundamentalism - A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.If the principal of their opposition to gay marriage is rooted in Christianity and thus they think that other people should not be able to marry or be homosexual that would be a very fundie belief. In short, to believe something (something is referring to debatable moral values, not rape, murder, etc which are universally recognized as terrible things) is morally wrong because the Bible says so isn't technically fundamentalist (though I think it's rather silly) however believing that no one should be able to engage in this immoral behavior and even going so far as to try to amend the law to force morality upon other people is VERY fundamentalist.

It seems silly to you to believe in the Bible, and I am a person who takes it with a grain of salt, but just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it silly. I'm not saying some of these fundamentalists are just--I think a lot of them are out of line.
And like Scarecrow said, why make it legal, then put it back in the hands of the people? It's pretty obvious people are going to protest.
But like I said, they're not the only ones at fault here. It takes two to tango.

The judges who overturned it didn't put it on the ballot. It was done by various religious groups through petitions, etc.

There is a difference between agreeing with the bible and trying to put it into law.
