gd2shoe's Journal: Marrige in CA

With all the controversy going on in this regards, I would just like to express my frustration and thoughts. A few years ago, there was a proposition passed in California in order to define marriage specifically as between a man and woman. The intent of this was to prevent "same sex marriages" from other states to move to California and be recognized as married. What everyone seems to forget is that it wasn't a law. It was a California constitutional amendment.

Now the judiciary in San Francisco who's job is to interpret the law (not decide right and wrong) has decided that they think it should be perfectly legal to perform these weddings. The real argument I've heard in that direction pointed to a different part of said constitution, undoubtedly of earlier origin, and which should be understood as amended. I know the law often doesn't represent us, but it should. It's very upsetting to me when it is this blatant.
