Prop 8 ruled unconstitutional

Looks like we're going down a path similar to Loving v. Virginia, as was long predicted. A state cannot pass a law that treats one class of people differently without some compelling reason, and that reason cannot be religious belief. And marriage is a basic right. We've had gay couples marrying in the US for 8 years now, and longer in other countries, and the predicted calamities have not come to pass.

Sorry haters.

Marriage isn't a right and if the litmus test is 8 years then who cares about global warming, right? By the way, nice demonization with calling everyone who thinks marriage is between a man and a woman a 'hater." Classy move.

A pair of federal judges has now reached the conclusion that the basis for Prop 8 was dislike of gay people, pure and simple. I am far from alone in that "classy move."

And the Supreme Court has ruled that marriage is a right. See Loving V. Virginia, 1967.
In its decision, the court wrote:
“ Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival..."

Trouble, I accept that you disapprove of gay people getting married. That's fine. We've had the argument before, and as I recall it was not particularly fruitful.
I think your side is going to lose. Don't really have anything to add.
