Prop 8 Ruling

My money says Judge Walker will take plenty of heat for his recent ruling on gay marriage. But I love this guy for a couple of his statements that I read.


Found it violated the Constitution's due process and equal protection clauses while failing "to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license." "Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples," the judge wrote in his 136-page ruling.

Well no shit! About time someone on the bench framed it like it really is. Then he kicks all different kinds of nutter logic with this.

He also said proponents offered little evidence that they were motivated by anything other than animus toward gays — beginning with their campaign to pass the ban, which included claims of wanting to protect children from learning about same-sex marriage in school.
"Proposition 8 played on the a fear that exposure to homosexuality would turn children into homosexuals and that parents should dread having children who are not heterosexual," Walker wrote. 

Thank you Judge Walker and keep your back to the wall.
