they passed a law based on LAW, not on somebody's superficial religious belief. Church and state are divided by the consitution, people need to start realizing that and stop forcing their religious beliefs on the people. Good for California.

Yeah I agree. We should not force our beliefs on others. Now that we have seen that the religious right uses religion as a way to restrict our freedom, and control people, I do not think that they will be able to pass a constitutional amendment. And as far as the kids go, there are plenty of gay parents who are better than straights. That is a non issue.

In that is exactly what four judges just did, forced their beliefs on others.

Then, there was a law passed, where legislators passed a law that was forcing their beliefs on others.

Then, Ahnold vetoed it, forcing HIS belief on others.

Only when it was passed as law, defining marriage, was the peoples will defined.

Now, they are going to run a constitutional amendment. Perhpas then, the will of the people will be decided...

after everyone denied the will of the people.

Wrong as usual SP4,the judges didn't force their beliefs on others .Freedom consists of choices .The judges restored choice for homosexuals to live as they please,with similar rights as heterosexuals .Nobody is forced to do anything,.Are you so stupid that even the very basics of logical principles are incomprehensible to you .You certainly are not afraid to cover yourself in ridicule,are you ?
