Like prostitutes, homosexuals are free to make any arrangements of privilege with each other. Redefining "marriage" is not allowed to any "class" of individuals; that is up to society as a whole.

Most people in Blue states do not realize that they brought this kind of thing on themselves by supporting LIEberals. This will change because as the lib media monopoly crumbled, so too will the extremist propaganda machine that was once our education system.

In essence the sleazy lawyer equated religion to racism.

Theft, murder, and fraud are sins. Because they are sins should not disqualify them from law. This is only common sense. The Bible is the best guide that any society can have to establish law. Moral relativism doesn't cut it, so society and law may affirm some values over others.

The Defense of Marriage Act passed in accordance with Article II, Section 8, of the California Constitution by a very wide margin. Society tolerates but does not accept homosexuality; the Judge says that society accepts homosexuality -- when clearly the people have expressed that it does not.

The ACLU trying to remove the Cross in San Diego; the handful of degenerates removing the cross from the Seal of "Los Angeles"; the 9th Circuit trying to remove God from the Pledge -- and now this. These attacks are concerted, and American citizens don't have to accept this crap. The libs hold their power in "Blue" blotted areas by maintaining the illusion that we do. My idea is that we improve our communications campaign to reach into these areas. This judge wants to condone Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender nonsense and he may, but he crossed the line by perverting the law to impose his honor of barbarism on our society. Dennis Prager pointed out that homosexual prostitution was practiced in temples in antiquity. These were the days when oligarchy reigned supreme, rule by the pagan view "even when I'm wrong I'm right." Back to the cave, if we allow the trousered ape to take over our country and don't wake up to the corruption of academia that this corrupt judge is a product of.

p>American law is under girded by Judeo-Christian values. More people must realize this before it's too late. These are the values that are the bulwark of the institutions of marriage, of capitalism and the American government. Law is not made in an amoral vacuum. To imply the contrary, as this judge has done, is immoral. That is the corruption of American law and to subject humanity to the whims of oligarchs. br> -- Chris br> Lynwood, California /p>

There is a wonderful story by Kurt Vonnegut called "Harrison Bergeron," which begins with the statement that the year is 2081, and with the passing of the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution, everyone is finally equal. The story tells the tale of a graceful ballerina who is forced to tie sandbags to her legs, an intelligent man who is required to wear a transmitter that buzzes in his head every eight seconds, and handsome man forced to wear a grotesque mask. I use this story to teach the difference between equal and the same. I also like to bring up the two methods of making everyone in a given society the same: lifting all to the highest level, or lowering all to the lowest level. Usually by the end of the lesson, the students see that Communism and Socialism attempt to do the latter, and that the former is outside man's ability. This comparison and its attendant conclusion give rise to the realization that the only fair way to make a society work is to give all of its members freedom and thereby allow each of them to rise to that level commensurate with their efforts and abilities. Voila! We have the America of the founders, the America that was spelled out in the Constitution.

p>In the story, lawmakers and judges create a nightmare by denying the inherent differences between and among individuals. Here in the real world, lawmakers and judges, especially judges, are doing precisely the same thing. Tyranny is the same whether it comes in jack boots or black robes. A legislative branch without the courage to combat this coup of the courts deserves to be eliminated. If leaders refuse to lead, how can we blame followers who refuse to follow? br> -- Joseph Baum
