US judge overturns California same-sex marriage ban
A U.S. federal judge overturned California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The judge believed that it unconstitutionally discriminated gay and lesbian couples. The state measure, Proposition 8, was passed by voters in 2008 by a vote of 52% to 48%. It banned same-sex marriages and its backers intend to appeal against the court's ruling. The implications of this case go far beyond California, its end result will most likely be decided by the Supreme Court and will affect all Americans.
I think that same-sex marriage should be banned because marriage has always been a traditional union between man and woman. If same-sex marriage was allowed, then how would they have kids?? And even if they adopted a kid or through some other way, who would be the mom and who would be the dad if the parents were of the same sex?? This totally goes against God's rules!!! >:O I also think that by overturning California's VOTER-APPROVED ban, the judge was not respecting the rights of the voters. Since the majority voted to ban same-sex marriages, then I believe that the judge shouldn't impose his own beliefs upon the people.
This event is important because whichever way it's decided, it will affect many people. If the case is decided in favor of same-sex couples, not only will it affect them, it will also affect the minds of ALL of us, including the generations still to come. If those younger generations were educated from a young age that marriage between the same sexes was okay, then imagine what we would see at school!! Girls going out with girls and guys going out with guys!!! :o But if the case was decided against same-sex couples and gay marriage, many would say that it was taking away the RIGHT TO CHOOSE from these couples. These couples believe that the have the right to choose who they want to marry and of which sex. So whatever is decided in the end, the result will have a huge impact on all of us and create much controversy.
yikes man... O__o
