   Isn’t anything sacred anymore? The institution of marriage and family is was endowed to us by our Creator…who are we as humans to alter that…next thing, we’ll be marrying our pets…

   I hope these words are still sacred: “they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

   I’m a native of CA.
   There’s money that can be made if CA let folks marry! Another gold rush gone, sigh…

   etighe, your ignorance of the history and practice of marriage, both civil and religious, is astounding. Your invocation of the nonsensical “marry our pets” indicates you don’t have the slightest idea how contract law even works. Educate yourself if you don’t wish to continue looking like a buffoon.

   Pets can’t legally consent to enter a legal contract. Human beings can, and it shouldn’t matter what their relative gender is.

   oh Serrano… those are just words. The founding fathers CLEARLY didn’t mean gay people. Read the fine print. :-P

   Etighe – This is not Biblevania… it is America where people are meant to be FREE! The discussion is to allow HUMAN BEINGS to marry, it has not nor will ever be about letting people molest children or animals.

   I wonder how this comes into play:
   Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. – The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

   Seems to me the only Amendment that essentially curtails a liberty is the 18th, which was repealed.

   I don’t think the Constitution is meant to be the receptacle of your bigotry, nor to create second class citizens.

    etighe - I do not believe in your Creator. My creator made me gay, and gave me love. You’ve never met me, so how are you harmed by that, and the fact that I am indeed married?

    Should we all be forced to live by your Church’s rules? Or should you be entitled to practice your religion in peace? Funny that the peaceable practice of religion was a core reason why people came to America to begin with. Their home governments persecuted them for their belief.

    Liberty does not mean freedom from offense. My marriage may offend you, but it causes you no direct harm. Your church offends me, but I firmly believe in your right to practice your faith.

    Give me the same opportunity to pursue Life, Liberty and Happiness that I am sure you cherish. And then go to your church and pray for my soul if you feel a need to. Or curse me if you wish, but leave me ALONE and GO AWAY.

    Oh yeah…and as to your Creator….who were Adam and Eve’s grandchildren’s parents? Hrmmm…? So much for Biblical family values.

    To the other voices on this thread. Thank you all for holding up candles in the dark. It means a lot to me. An thank you to Tom Toles for shining a scorching light on the choices made by Californians this week.

    We in Florida passed an equally insidious amendment prohibiting gay marriage. The Baptist (and to a lesser extent Catholic) church was instrumental in authoring & pimping the bill. Since they thumpers have decided to so overtly stick their noses, I say we tax the church!
    Oh, and etighe, get some help, ‘cause, d@mn, you crazy.

    It’s part of my DNA, Can’t stop even if I wanted to.
    I wanted to know more about the name Seth, one of my brothers works with someone named Seth
    My brother was saying Adam & Eve had Seven children! I only see 3 males for now. But did see this! Seth means seven, so I guess there were 2 females between the males. Maybe We are all an illusion!!

    I’m not gay but I thought California was the cutting edge of new trends as well as enviro-consciousness. They certainly are into recycling old ideas.

    It’s already spread to the fundamentalist State I live in - South Carolina. Hey, we’ve still got sunday Blue Laws here. They still have over fifty percent divorce rates,however, but consider that OK. So much for the “sanctity of marriage” baloney.
