already commented on chris'and fredo: what happened with equal rights?

Let God decide! I hear he's a pretty fair and loving soul. Government needs to focus on the financial state of our country and the war, not affairs of the heart. (In my opinion)

Messy. Thanks for the explanation.

I really don't understand why people get so worked up over this - in terms of people who are against it. What does it matter? If it's wrong because God says it's wrong then He can handle it I would think. I just don't get it.

AJ says it good there.

I am not sure this issue will go before the Supreme Court since marriage is something that has always been controlled by the state. I think the best that could be done is that if someone challenged DOMA, a federal law making it permissable for one state to not recognize marriages performed in other states, which is part of tradition of respect of such rules between the states that is protected within the constitution.
Now that the California has changed its constitution there is nothing that can be done. It is legal to have such discrimination.
The question is whether the law or the constitution should ever allow a popular vote to institute inequality.
