NY Court Says NO! To Gay Marriage

[Elspode]

Damn, I *so* wanted to call them that, Wolf. Great minds and all...

I know I beat this subject to death, but goddamn it...preventing the legal partnering of same sex couples has got to be one of the stupidest, most pointless, discriminatory, ignorant, prejudiced, bigoted and just plain downright *wrong* things going on in this country.

Morals? Not in this land. Better that a heterosexual couple who hate each others guts raise their children than a loving same sex couple. Sure, the kids raised by heteros will be basket cases, but they're likely to be *straight* basket cases, I guess. And that's what's important...putting the right appendange in the right hole. Mental health and well-adjustment be damned.

Ptui!

Despite the advances of science...

That part kills me. They invoke science but ignore the science that has pretty-much established that homosexuality is a biological trait, not a "lifestyle." People tend to avoid this science-based argument, but it's THE one to make. I wish that debate was more in the forefront. I wish both the scientific and Gay community would push that argument. But then again, we're dealing with people who deny evolution too, so what's the point? I guess it is about poles and holes (or polls and holes).
