more seriously though, if you feel like putting on your best protesting shoes...

find your local protest

Thanks, Schlack.
I had not heard about that. I'm going to try and get to ours tomorrow (demonstration).

I just signed a petition circulating (No on Prop 8) and forwarded it on to more people I know.

Thank you for your support. Seriously. It has not always existed and to hear and read so much positive from heterosexuals during this has been amazing. There have been a lot of negative, hateful reactions (not here), but in reading a lot of message boards, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much support we really have. I don't mean to negate any of that in all my whining.

I will be at the protest tomorrow morning. What is discouraging (and Phil made a point of this earlier) is that I spoke to several gay people I work with this week who are not going to attend. The reasons I got were valid (will be traveling, have to work, etc) to really lame (really hate crowds, "what will this accomplish, the election is over") and my neighbor and co-worker may or may not be going with me because "who planned a protest for gays at 10:30 on a Saturday morning?!". I explained to him that 10:30am isn't really all that early, particularly since we live FIVE FREAKIN' BLOCKS from Civic Center! We'll see.

Someone asked what we hoped to accomplish. I said "well, I would like to get a right I am granted by the State Constitution back. So, I guess, not much". I have never felt like hitting so many people as I have the past couple weeks. eek

Now, if it is defeated in court, I think it would be incumbent upon the anti-Prop 8 folks to work to get something on the ballot confirming the court's decision. Crafting it will be tricky, but I think they need to "set the standard" before the opponents do. Something along the lines of "no civil rights currently granted by law may be abrogated by less than a super majority of the electorate." That could cement the right and make it highly unlikely to be overturned by a proposition.

But, if it is worded so that it can be rescinded by vote, then it is not a right, but rather a mere civil privilege subject to abrogation at the whim of the populus. There should be something more foundational on which to rest a claim to a right if it is to be "secured" by law, and in my opinion that foundation is whether "marriage" is an inherent, and thus, unalienable right.

Earlier, when it was being bandied about as a federal issue, I viewed same sex marriage from several perspectives before coming to my own conclusion. I will simply repeat here what I posted then.

"1. The US Constitution does not grant the Federal Government authority over marriage therefore it is not a federal matter.

2. Is marriage a right or a privilege? If marriage is defined as a contractual lifetime commitment between two consenting people, and the exercising of this action does not require active provision by non-involved persons, and the exercising of this action does not infringe upon the rights of others, then I would have to conclude that it is an inherent right not dependent upon the state or other authorities.

3. If engaging in a contractual lifetime commitment by two consenting individuals is a right, then the question becomes, is such a right restricted to heterosexual contractual commitment, or is a same-sex contractual commitment also an inherent right?

4. All natural or inherent rights are morally self-restricting in that each person's liberty to exercise such a right ceases just prior to infringing on the inherent rights of another. In addition, society (usually through the power of the state) may place additional limitations on an inherent right. The reason for doing so is to ensure as best it can, social harmony (I mean by this, respect for the rights of all individuals).

So, when it comes to determining if same-sex consensual 'marriage' is also included in the general right to consensual marriage, the question is, "Does its prohibition protect other individuals from a threat great enough to infringe on what is otherwise an inherent right"? If so, what is that threat?

My personal opinion is that 'marriage', same or hetero, is not a matter for state involvement. I also do not accept altering constitutions -- state or federal -- to restrict individual freedom that does not infringe on the rights of others or severely and negatively impact others in society. This leaves the question of whether the individual states should pass laws that would restrict such freedoms. In the case of consenting contractual commitment (a.k.a. marriage), I do not see why they should.

I do personally consider marriage, in the traditional meaning of the word, to refer only to the consensual contractual commitment between a male and a female (whether through a church ceremony or legal documents drawn up in a lawyer's office). However, I cannot see any threat from the same documents being drawn up for a same-sex couple. There may be threats that I am not aware of, and -- like Perot said -- I am all ears.:-)

In pondering this issue, I think principle compels me to not support the "yes for man and woman only marriage" thingie."

I have seen nothing nor thought of any reason since writing the above to change my position on this issue.
Yours,
Issodhos

Iss, your ears will fall off waiting for an explanation of the threats. Opponents claim a threat, yet are much less forthcoming when asked for specifics. The question has been asked repeatedly and I have yet to hear what this threat to "traditional" marriage is.

That is not even how prop 8 passed, it passed, at least in part, based on lies about children being taught about this horrible abomination in schools. The other component was, of course, religion. While I appreciate the time you took to spell out any kind of rational, legal objections to this vote, and hopefully that is how it will be resolved (at least for my state), the objections to gay marriage are neither.

Issodhos, all rights in a constitutional system are subject to vote, the question is what level of hurdles are in place to reduce the likelihood of basic rights being abrogated.

It is my contention that there is such a barrier to an initiative like Prop 8 in the California Constitution but it was not followed.

I'm doubly sorry, Jeffro. My heart truly hurts for you. I can 'hear' your pain.

I have too many gay friends not to support this.
One couple that we are close to have been committed to each other as long as we have known them....close to ten years. They would love to get married.
If you think things are tough in California...

That said, we DO depend on you big 'librul' states to get the ball rolling on these kinds of issues so that we can 'hope' at least to piggy back on your victories.
That is why we here have demonstrations in solidarity with you. We want you to feel us over here rooting for you.

You're getting complaints about it being so early there. Here the complaints are that is it during the football game!

My best to you Californians.
Go get um.
