If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

So Prop 8.

Supreme Court in California declared gay marriage, a constitutional right.

The voters went to the ballot boxes and by relatively slim margin banned same-sex marriage in California.

There was a trial.

A judge ruled that the ban was unconstitutional, overturned decision, legalized same-sex marriage.

That's being appealed, so it's on hold.

And so the appeal was a couple weeks ago.

And there was an interesting thing that was said by the attorney defending

Prop A, defending the ban on same-sex marriage in California and all over the world because he's been

defending the theory of it. So it's not just for California that same-sex marriage is evil and bad and

needs to be banned. But of course, all throughout the known universe. Anyway, Charles Cooper is the

attorney, and he argued, and I'm going to quote from an NPR story here, that same-sex couples

can be treated differently when it comes to marriage without running afoul of the Constitution

because, quoting Charles Cooper now, sexual relationships between men and women naturally produced

children, unless, of course, the man's fucking er in the ass, but we're going to leave that alone for now. And then Sexual relationships between men and women naturally produce children.

Unless, of course, the man's fucking er in the ass, but we're going to leave that alone for now.

And then he went on, society has no particular interest in a platonic relationship between a man and a woman,

no matter how close it might be or emotional relationships between other people.

That would be the queers as well.
