Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

I'm reading the Prop 8 ruling with a highlighter. It's a good read. You should check it out.

So far, this is my favorite bit. Cott was an expert witness for the plaintiffs (No on Prop 8 ) and Blankenhorn was an expert witness for the defense (Yes on Prop 8 ):

Quote from: Prop 8 RulingBoth Cott and Blankenhorn testified that California stands to benefit if it were to resume issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Blankenhorn noted that marriage would benefit same-sex couples and their children, would reduce discrimination against gays and lesbians and would be "a victory for the worthy ideas of tolerance and inclusion."

However.....

Quote from: Prop 8 RulingDespite the multitude of benefits identified by Blankenhorn that would flow to gays and lesbians and to American ideals were California to recognize same-sex marriage, Blankenhorn testified that the state should not recognize same-sex marriage. Blankenhorn reasoned that the benefits of same-sex marriage could conceivably weaken marriage as an institution.

What the cock is that shit? Dissonance, much?

Edit: Then later, Walker says:

Quote from: Prop 8 RulingThe testimony of Blankenhorn is unreliable. The trial evidence provides no basis for establishing that California has an interest in refusing to recognize marriage between two people because of their sex.

No shit  :lulz:

Some more goodies for your pleasure.

Regarding Hak-Shing William Tam, Proponent of Prop 8, secretary of the America Return To God Prayer Movement, and operator of 1man1woman.net:

Quote from: Prop 8 Ruling1man1woman.net encouraged voters to support Proposition 8 on grounds that homosexuals are twelve times more likely to molest children... and because Proposition 8 will cause states one-by-one to fall into Satan's hands. Tam identified NARTH (National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality) as the source of information about homosexuality because he "believes what they say." Tam identified "the internet" as the source of information connecting same-sex marriage to polygamy and incest.

for fun, google the phrase "mormon forum", and then check out any "current events" subforum.

it's nonstop lulz, I swear. I just clicked through three or four of the things. The mormons are dividing into camps and tearing each other up. It's hysterical.

Sigh. I'm trying to read it, you guys, but that place is just making my blood boil.

Mr. B used the term "same sex attraction", and I nearly had a stroke.

Some time if I'm drunk enough, I'll have to write a big profanity-laced memoir of my time in a "same sex attraction" support group.  :|

E: Also. The posse of white angels at the top really freaks me out.

You could troll them and describe yourself as a recovered heterosexual who, with the right amount of therapy and a supportive group, was able to get yourself out of your sinful attractions to the opposite sex. Currently homosexual or asexual status up to you.

Nonsense. Tell them you have joined a splinter group and now you have 5 wives and 13 kids.
