Connecticut Scare Bears At It Already

Hey hey! Remember that cool thing the Connecticut Supreme Court did the other day? You know, that thing where they said it's unconstitutional for the state to deny gay people EQUAL FUCKING RIGHTS, specifically in regard to marriage? Yeah, that thing. Well, wouldn't you know it, but the Crazy Christians Scare Bears are already at it trying to find a way to Prop. 8 this bitch!

I'm still not understanding these twisted idiots. If a court had ruled in favor of something pro-Christian, they'd be all like "Yeah, the law has prevailed," but now that a court rules in favor of something pro-Humanity, pro-Civility, pro-Equality, they have to whine and cry and moan about it?

You know what, you sick bastards, get over yourselves. This is not a religious battle or a "culture war" as you often like to try and frame it. It's about equality and decency, which is apparently something you lack as made evident by statements like this:

“The real battle will be Election Day. Even in a state with a legislature as liberal as ours, we have defeated our opponents year after year through the legislative process. They could never have gotten same-sex marriage through the Democratic process. Democracy is gay marriage’s worst enemy"

So, yeah. You show your ignorance on these issues when even the Governor of Connecticut, a Republican, comes out and says that any legislative attempts to enshrine bigotry and hatred into the State Constitution will not work:

Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell, a gay marriage opponent who also supports amending the Constitution to allow for initiatives and referendum, said she is “firmly convinced that attempts to reverse this decision either legislatively or by amending the state constitution will not meet with success.”

Furthermore, by not taking time to understand the process you want to initiate, you fail to show the sound judgment that an educated person would. If this quaint, once-every-20-years convention gets approved, the entirety of the state constitution would be reworked, and you wouldn't get a say in it. It be up to appointed leaders. And it would cost your state billions of dollars. So good luck with that.

Connecticut Legalizes Same Sex Marriage!

Another state has followed in California's foot steps to legalize gay marriage through Supreme Court decision. Connecticut has become the third state in the US to legalize same sex marriage, and was the first state to institute same-sex domestic unions.

The Court's opinion:

"Like these once prevalent views, our conventional understanding of marriage must yield to a more contemporary appreciation of the rights entitled to constitutional protection. Interpreting our state constitutional provisions in accordance with firmly established equal protection principles leads inevitably to the conclusion that gay persons are entitled to marry the otherwise qualified same sex partner of their choice. To decide otherwise would require us to apply one set of constitutional principles to gay persons and another to all others. The guarantee of equal protection under the law, and our obligation to uphold that command, forbids us from doing so. In accordance with these state constitutional requirements, same sex couples cannot be denied the freedom to marry."

The state has not put a hard and fast date on when same sex couples can begin getting marriage licenses, but will announce that soon. This is only right and fair, and I hope to see more come of this!
