How voting works......
the majority of Californians voted for no gay marriages. Some gay judge in San Francisco says, "but that's not fair". So they are making gay marriage OK as of Aug. 18th.
Why do we even bother to vote??????????????????
That is a typical example where religion and politics mix.
Who says it's not ok to have gay marriages ? The Church and to some part the Bilble they claim.
I can't care less if they get married. Why not ?
I'm sure they love their partner just as much as hetro sexuals do.
And in my opinion have been getting robbed by not having the same tax or medical bennies as wife/hubby relationship has.
Agentina was the last country to allow same sex marriages (making it the 11th country to do so). Holland was the first, and other European countries followed, so did Canada.
I have nothing against it.
It;s their personal freedom, and discrimination against them if we don't allow it.

No doubt about that, a huge winfall for lawyers.
But also wedding planners, hall rentals, the churches that will allow it, catering services, Tuxedo/Wedding dress rentals or makers , and so on. The whole entire wedding industry.
Just ask Upstate again, how much he is paying for his daughter.
A lot of more money going into local economies.

I can do better then that :
Every single Judge was once a lawyer !
(and probably a likelyhood that some of their children are going down the same carreer path and/or atleast their circle of close friends contain a lot of laywers).

More, you and I live in the same State and are on opposite sides on this issue. The way I understand the trial to be was about the constitutionality of Prop 8 not overturning the will of the people. We in Ca are ruled by an initiative process. You can put whatever you want on a ballot if you can get enough signatures. If it gets passed the other side can challenge the legality of your initiative which is what the No on 8 side successfully did in front of Judge Walker.

Why is it only limited to a two person marriage? Why not allow as many spouses as a person wishes? Who gets to make to 2 rule?

That's a good point.
But, now that interferes with government and business alike.
Can you imagine UPS paying benefits for your 7 wives, and maybe 20 children ?
Government as well ?
Won't happen. NEVER !
And it shouldn't, or we will all go under !
The State.

glad you answered that Jonsie.... the State has no business in marriage at all... in any form.
But if you're going to open the definition of marriage, why is it set at only 2? why is that the magic number?

Maybe, because marriage is still special and sacred. And it should stay that way.
You marry the love of your life (until death do us apart).
There can and is only is that 1 special person in your life possible.
Love in that highest ranking, doesn't require anyone to have more spouses.
It is human impossible to love everyone equally (IMO).
Besides, ain't cheating the number 1 reason for break-ups and divorcing ?
Anybody with a soul and heart knows, you can really only give ultimate love to 1 person.
Marriage is indeed something special.
But, if your by birth or whatever it takes, are gay, well, why can't they have that same right ?
You can't compare having multiple partners in marriage, as 2 people loving eachother basically to death (until death to be correct).
