Yay if You're Gay -

The FL has delivered. In spades.

From fellow Lj'er zpdiduda, the quick and dirty on why this is likely to stick.

joseph_palmer noted that crude oil dropped 6$ a barrel on the announcement this AM. Gay is good for gas prices? Who knew?!

I'm the shouting is far from over - matter of fact, I'm up to raise one or two if you are. LOCALS: MAH HOUSE TONIGHT? I got cheese. We can find beer. Order pizza even. I'll bake a cake!

A bit more sobering, though, is this collection of images of Wanker in international advertising.

What the hell. Here, have some soundtrack. Best wedding music evar.

Yeah, even if your not gay. People deserve the same 'human dignity' regardless of gender or sexual preference.

Bwahahaha! A gay-marriage-ruling party! I would so be there if I were in your time zone. :)

Don't expect the party to last long, they are groups already at work to push an amendment change to the state constitution that would mute the supreme court's ruling. If it gets on the ballot, the question becomes something the people of California to decide once again... and who knows, maybe they will agree. In the end, I do think the people should decide on these matters of what should society allow in regards of these social issues, not the courts.

Look at the difference between Prop 22 and the more recent referendum.

In a relatively short amount of time, the vote shifted to split almost evenly.

I wouldn't be surprised if this attempt fails.

By a slim margin, mind, but still...

I'll be there in spirit. In body, I'll be at rehearsal until 10. :)

Friend called me at work to let me know. It was impossible to concentrate after that!

Vatican City, May 16, 2008 / 02:12 pm (CNA).- One day after California overturned a ban on same-sex marriage, the Holy Father has firmly stated that only marriage between a man and a woman is moral.

Yesterday, California’s Supreme Court came to a 4-3 decision overturning the state’s law preventing homosexuals from being recognized as married.

While the Pope did not directly mention the ruling in California in his address to the Forum of Family Associations and the European Federation of Catholic Family Associations, Benedict XVI stressed the importance of the traditional family for the good of society.

"The union of love, based on matrimony between a man and a woman, which makes up the family, represents a good for all society that can not be substituted by, confused with, or compared to other types of unions," he said.

He continued by speaking of the rights of the traditional family, "founded on matrimony between a man and a woman, the natural cradle of human life." Mention of the need to defend the family is not uncharacteristic for Pope Benedict, but his statement takes on particular relevance following the California ruling.

In the same address, the Pope emphasized the family’s importance by citing John Paul II, "the Pope of the family," who said that "the future of humanity passes by way of the family.”
