The Gay Battle against the Will of the People, Part Two

The Gay Battle against the Will of the People, Part Two

Part One of this series cited courtroom testimony of two “expert” plaintiff witnesses in the San Francisco civil action brought by two gay couples in federal court who were miffed that Californians had seen fit to amend the state’s constitution by adding the words, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

Shocking both the gay and normal worlds, voters in the very liberal Left Coast state approved Proposition 8 by a healthy margin of 52.5% to 47.5% in November 2008 and the matter should have been resolved, the people had spoken.

Not quite.

The next electoral quake of such magnitude wouldn’t occur until January 19th, 2010 when residents of liberal Massachusetts transferred the Ted Kennedy Memorial Senate Seat to a Republican in the person of Scott Brown.

The trial’s poster gays, lesbians Kristin Perry and Sandra Stier of Berkeley and homosexuals Paul Katami and Jeffrey Zarillo of L.A., “were recruited to represent California couples who say they would get married were it not for Proposition 8 because they lead lives indistinguishable from those of other couples, gay or straight, who have jobs, children and a desire for the social stamp of approval that matrimony affords.”

That, of course, is a matter of opinion that the court must decide and may be the crux of the entire push for same-sex marriage.

The bestowal of “the social stamp of approval” effectively would mean society’s official approbation of homosexual relationships, the last rung on the ladder of normality for which gays have been striving for forty years.

Up until 1969 . . .
