California Hit With Unnatural Disaster

Today is "Turn Off TV Newscasts Day", especially if you're eating dinner when you usually watch. The lead story on both network and local news across the country will be the thousands of gay "marriages" taking place all over California. The video accompanying the TV news stories will be nonstop grappling gays and lip-locking lesbians celebrating their new found and probably short-lived "right" to marry and will be PG-13 at best and nauseating at worst.

Thank you, California Supreme Court.

I've said previously that my objection is not so much based on the destruction of traditional values as the fact that this whole mess was foisted on us by a handful of judges rather than the will of the voters. The left can't advance their agenda at the ballot box because not enough people support their perversions, so the alternative is to find a few judges willing to thwart the will of the people and jam their agenda into the mainstream through judicial activism. In 2000 61% of the voters passed a ballot proposition declaring the definition of marriage to be "one man and one woman". The Supreme Court tossed that aside. It's almost meaningless to be a voter in California anymore.

However, the voters may yet have the last laugh. The "right" of homosexual marriage will be short-lived as the TV coverage alone is likely to give quite a boost to the effort to pass a ballot initiative in November which will put into the state constitution what the voters thought they passed in 2000. Judges won't be able to toss that out. It won't change the legal status of those who take advantage of this break in sanity, but will quickly put an end to future silliness.

If you must watch you might try doing what we do when we go to Disneyland during Gay Days - play "guess the gender". Some of those people will be real stumpers.

For those of you reading this in other states and laughing out loud at those stupid Californians and their idiot judges, just wait. Unlike Massachusetts which legalized gay marriage a couple of years ago, California does not have a residency requirement, and that means there will be activists from each state (including yours) getting married this week who will be returning home to file lawsuits under the Fair Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution demanding their states recognize those marriages. I guarantee that each of your states has a judge dumb enough to find in their favor and you too can enjoy the spectacle we'll be seeing this week.

I've already heard that 12,000 New Yorkers are in town for nuptuals now that their governor has ordered the state to accept all out-of-state marriage licenses. The liberals already control that state so they won't have to sue.

So, who's really going to be celebrating today?

Divorce lawyers.

UPDATE: The first "weddings" are underway and if there's one piece of advice I can give opponents of gay marriage it's to stay away from the freak show and don't bother protesting. The media will not give your views a fair hearing and your comments (especially if shouted in the face of a gay marriage proponent) will be edited to make you appear as much of a Neanderthal as possible. The images of a bearded protestor shouting about God's judgement in the face of lawyer Gloria Allred following the first "wedding" in Los Angeles didn't do anything to save traditional marriage. He was just made to look foolish. Save your anger for the November ballot.
