This week the California court system informed the people there that the ban on gay marriage (Prop 22) was unconstitutional. Good For Them!!! Two consenting adults that wish to join in the union of marriage SHOULD be allowed to marry!
Today I opened my email and the American Family Association (AFA) had sent me an email with the following:
Dear Kathleen,
As you know, the California Supreme Court has legalized homosexual marriage. This happened despite the fact that voters in California passed Proposition 22 with 61.4 percent of the vote. Proposition 22 defined marriage as only between one man and one woman.
The recent 4-3 ruling, if allowed to stand, would destroy marriage as it has been known for thousands of years. It would lead to the logical conclusion of the following:• Legalization of polygamous and other aberrant unions as "marriages"• Legalization of marriage between an adult parent and adult child• Legalization of group marriage• Overturn all the marriage laws in the other 49 state
Apparently - the AFA equates homosexuality with incest and other "aberrant" types of marriages. Why can't these people live and let live? Why do they have to try to legislate other people's lives?
Bravo California! Now if only we could get ruling like these here in Michigan - then my aunt could marry her partner of two decades.
