Californian gays to begin marrying June 17
..and still the vote to reverse it is on the November ballot.
Come on California bigots, reverse the ruling and have all those marriages nullified. That'll make you look real enlightened.

A Conservative American's reasoning on being a prick
I ran across this blog post on Blue Collar Muse:
Gay Marriage Doesn’t Involve Rights …
In which the American author responds to this statement in a post:
“You’re talking about being against basic civil rights [in regards to gay marriage].”
He or she then proceeds to justify the conservative view on the topic, which contains this gem:
I do not mean to make light of the feelings and desires of homosexuals who find themselves in the unfortunate situation of being unable to marry. But twisting the argument into a civil rights case in order to acquire a non-existent right for themselves is not something I’m prepared to participate in. It seems likely supporters of gay marriage will respond they are not talking about a right to marry but about discrimination. In which case I must respond in order to be discriminated against, there must be something you are able to do which you are being prevented from doing because you are gay. Thus there is no discrimination here since homosexuals are unable to marry.
The tortured logic of this paragraph is painful enough, but if brave, try reading the whole thing here. There are many more painful examples where that came from.
Nutshell arguement: Cultures [and the author of said piece, nose held firmly in air] have traditionally been able to discriminate against homosexuals, so how dare they now ask for that to stop. Really, some people are so uppity...
