If Proposition 8 can be deemed unconstitutional because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, then why can't Herpers claim the same thing as a class!!!

The issue of Gay Marriage is not an ethnic, racial, origin, economic, sex, age, etc issue. It is strictly a voluntary discretionary decision by individuals that crosses all groups and categories of humanity.

If discrimination against that voluntary "by choice" behavior can be protected, then so can what we do be protected for the very same reasons.

The irony is, these are the same people that profess acceptance and tolerance, except when it comes to our issues.

I believe keeping snakes would have to be declared a fundamental right in order for us to use that precedent, although, I wouldn't mind that either!

>>U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker's decision allows marriage between same-sex couples. In part, his decision states, "...Proposition 8 both unconstitutionally burdens the exercise of the fundamental right to marry and creates an irrational classification on the basis of sexual orientation."

I know there was something mentioned about a "suspect class" (gays) and that Life, Liberty, and the "Pursuit of Happiness" was denied.

I never understood all the commotion about Gays being allowed to marry. It's time they were allowed the same 50% divorce rate that straight people have Besides.....them homosexuals breed like flies...lol

Yes-why shouldn't gays be as miserable as the rest of us
