CALIFORNIA DOWN, AMERICA UP: HOMO NUPTIALS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

California has done itself no national favor by rejoicing over homo nuptials. Like Massachusetts, California is only isolating itself more and more from the American moralists who find homo nups repulsive.

Yet to see the evening news, Californians are the posh intellectuals who have it all. Not. They parade their conceit levels with such obnoxious hubris that the rest of the country reaches for the bucket. Truly.

Like Hollywood, California thinks it’s a breed above the rest of us. Instead, California liberals are merely upstart spoiled brats who write their own values, claiming that they have it made in the ethical shade. One of these days these liberals will come to the stark realization that they have taken themselves out of the national family, just as Massachusetts has divorced itself from the country’s good.

When the judge stated that California cannot ban homo nups, the judge played up to the smart alecks. That fame will last the usual fifteen minutes — or seconds. These liberal judges who think they are restyling America just don’t get the Red States’ declaration last November. But tardy though they are due to their (im)moral numbness, their debt will come due in due time.

As Lisa Leff reports for the Associated Press, the "judge in San Francisco ruled that California law barring same-sex marriage is unconstitutional." Oh really. All this is still in flux. The story has not stumbled upon its last sentence yet, though the California judge and homo cheerleaders truly believe they have the pen-and-ink by which to write just that.

Never.

With every liberal move as in California and Massachusetts, the moralists nationwide come together stronger and stronger. The resolve of the actually intelligent, ethical citizens ups while the two states in immoral backwater dive further into the mire.

"A judge ruled Monday that California's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional a legal milestone that, if upheld on appeal, would open the way for the most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.

"Judge Richard Kramer of San Francisco County's trial-level Superior Court likened the ban to laws requiring racial segregation in schools, and said there appears to be ‘no rational purpose’ for denying marriage to gay couples."

Once again, the judge does not get it that there is no parallel between the civil rights movement and homo nups push. Blacks have accented that months ago. Yet the judge appears as the time-lag leader of the pack, still in quagmire, still fogged over, still intent on playing to the homo audience for the latest applause meter blow.

However, here’s the catch. And it’s a major one, practically lost in the hub-bub of the evening newscasts. Note: "It could be months or years before the state actually sanctions same-sex marriage, if ever.

"Robert Tyler, an attorney with the conservative Alliance Defense Fund, said the group would appeal. And Lockyer has said in the past that he expected the matter eventually would have to be settled by the California Supreme Court.

"Last winter, nearly 4,000 gay couples got married after Newsom instructed the city to issue them licenses. The California Supreme Court later declared those marriages void, saying the mayor overstepped his authority. But the court did not address the underlying issue of whether the law against gay marriage violates the California Constitution.

"Two bills now before the California Legislature would put a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage on the November ballot. If California voters approve such an amendment, as those in 13 other states did last year, that would put the issue out of the control of lawmakers and the courts."

Stay tuned.
