I live 25 miles from San Francisco.
They have been showing the Hall of Justice in downtown San Francisco every night for the past several days on the 6 'o clock news . . . Trust me when I say that:
Nobody cares!
I think you're wrong. They show the gay couples giving each other big french kisses and, believe me, where I live that gets a lot of people up in arms. It's a visceral thing.

The politicians in the bay area, except for SF's mayor, haven't given their stance on the gay marriage issue. Gay marriage doesn't seem to have overwhleming support even in California. I think that it was voted against at a ratio of about 63 to 37%.
There is an apparent breakdown in the separation of church and state. Dems who usually back gay rights are waiting it out in fear that they'll lose their majority public support. Fucking cowards, politicians are so weak when you wave a dollar in front of them.
On the other hand, Gavin Newsom is turing out to be such an amazing mayor, he may just have a bid for pres in a decade or two when the gay marriage issue is seen as a righteous cause and suported by the masses. He fired the chief of police which tells me he cares more about making responsible decisions than
money. He is dangerous to conservatives and republicans because he is actually a good person, he does what he says, and he does what is right. I've never encountered a politician like him before, it's wierd. I hope he has a talented team of body gaurds to protect him from demented right wingers.

Guys, the gay marriage issue is not about gays, its about obeying the law. A law is being broken in California and local CA politicians don't care. If you don't like the law then change it, just don't break it. I could care less about whether gays get married, but I do care about upholding the law and the Constitution. We can't selectively choose which laws we like to obey and which ones we don't. What kind of a society is that?
I'll tell you what though, I have really lost some respect for Arnold out there. He should be stepping up to the plate and doing something about this, and instead he is staying away from this issue to avoid national attention. I thought Arnold had a bigger backbone then that.
This is not an equal rights issue, its about the law. The law is a derivative of the Constitution. When people brake the law, there should be consequences. If you want to change the law, I'm all for that. So just go through the proper channels and change the law. What is so hard about that?
No, the courts need to change the law, not break it. The law is very specific. The court interprets ambiguity. There is no ambiguity in this law.
