California upholds gay marriage ban

[Zack]

Supreme Courts decision just came out, Prop 8 banning gay marriage still stands but the 18,000 people that got married in the small time frame that it was legal still get to stay married.

What a bunch of a fucking shit, people make me sick.

[Proottalfain]

Prop 8 really deceived me when I heard the result of it. I used to see California as being ahead of the rest of the USA.

[Diein60s]

Well...That's decided, I'm never moving to California.

[Lost-Chances]

Some how, I lack surprise. People go on about how gays should and do have equal rights and then they pull this shit off saying "but...It's just not right!".

Soon enough gay marriage will be a national right. Just wait until our generation is in power.

If the Newgrounds BBS was the supreme court of California, heterosexual marriage would be banned.

If thats the only thing that makes you sick then you'll be happy to know that im not gay, so you can sleep easy tonight.

They had a pretty huge campaign against it, and a lot of false facts. I saw different Yes on Prop 8 people waving signs literally every single day... most of whom were families with their kids. Throughout that entire month I only saw one group waving No on 8 signs, and they were all metal head teenagers that looked like they hadn't bathed in weeks.

Anyway, uh... sucks for gay people, I guess.

Oh give me a break. Our generation isn't that much better than the generation before us.

Land of the free.

What's sad is how future generations will look back on this, and see how prejudiced people still were even in this age when we're meant to have moved on.

Well, perhaps it's just the people I'm around, or it could be your area. Everyone I've talked with is either apathetic or in support of gay marriage. Those who are against it are very much in the minority.

Homophobia is looked badly, so homophobes of our age don't show it. I know one guy who is homophobic, but I think even him is in favor of gay marriage. He just doesn't like them, so he doesn't give a fuck if they marry or not.

This is what I think. Eventually it will be a right, but for now we have old people with old outdated ideologies holding us back. I guess it must be hard for them after being brought up having been told that being gay is evil and wrong and all that, and unfortunately some people are, but surely anyone can see that if two people love each other and want to get married then no one should stand in the way of that.

Homophobia has some stigma, yes, but this has lead to people just being quiet about them hating homosexuals or just going into denial. I can think of a few people who I know are homophobic, one of which is terribly in denial of it and another was in denial until she admitted it recently. It's not homophobia is gone, it's just no one who is remotely civilised are happy to be out-spoken about how they hate homosexuals.

We might say this now, but there's still a significant number of young people that either don't reallycare on many social issues, or want things to remain the same. In the case of the latter, I also believe that people with these sort of more conservative views are the ones more likely to get places in power, in politics or elsewhere. I'm pretty sure my parents were saying the same things in the late '60s and early '70s... whether we've had a good amount of positive change in the Western world since then is debatable, I think.

I honestly think we left the '90s and somehow back to the '50s on many different levels. A lot of us seem to be scared of things that aren't actually there all over again. Some might argue its a backlash to being "too free", which I've got to say, I think is pretty stupid. I could talk at length about it probably, but I'm not perfect here. It could easily turn contradictory, what I have to say... eh, I'll stop now.

I know one friend of mine will definitely not be pleased by this particular news.

[CogSpin]

It's 2009 and we're still letting governments tell us who we can marry. How pathetic.

Although I must say: I find the whole concept of marriage more of a burden than anything else.

[Serphyas]

California: What threat does gay marriage pose to your citizens? Your state married thousands of gay couples in a short period of time, when you allowed it; civilization did not crumble, the "sanctity of marriage" did not lose its meaning.

[cast]

Sorry to hear the bad news Zack.. I guess you'll have to wait it out or go elsewhere.

The same threat that white people marring black people posed before desegregation. Some people are ignorant and mean and hopefully they will wake up or go away.

Makes me sick, those fucks.

[Seriana]

I support this heartily.

Marriage is a Christian ceremony, not one that belongs in court.

You abide by their standards or you don't get to be married at all.

When a bunch of whiny drama seeking flamboyant lisping dickfaces decide they deserve to make a shitstorm out of it, this happens.

You don't have to be literally married to have a long lasting, fulfilling relationshit, (HAHA LIKE THAT'LL EVER HAPPEN ANYWAY) but no, these limp wristed brainless animals NEED to be MARRIED BECAUSE I WANT EQUUUUUUUUUUUUUAL RIGHTS WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Fuck, why are people so stupid?

Try legal issues and you get closer to the main problem here.

That was my point.

Marriage is not something the court should handle, it's the churches. Same with divorces.

The government guarantees equal rights for everyone in a government controlled situation and the court does not get to say what the church does or not, since the church controls the government.

Everyone knows full well that there's a difference between equal rights and special treatment. These people are just delusional enough to think they deserve to be better.

[Cybersief]

So wait, gay marriage is allowed in California? Fuck. I'm moving there over the summer.

Wait, what about weed? Is that legal at least?

Right, that's why all marriages are handled by a judge and never ever with a pastor, minister, or priest

Yes, and because it's a christian ceremony, marriages don't exist in non-christian countries and did not exist in any way, shape, or form until christianity existed.
