Gay couples who had been gearing up to get married in California this week had to put their wedding plans on hold once again after a federal appeals court said it first wanted to consider the constitutionality of the state's same-sex marriage ban.
The ban's sponsors appealed that ruling and also asked the 9th Circuit to block same-sex weddings in the meantime. They claimed in papers filed with the 9th Circuit that gay marriages would harm the state's interest in promoting responsible procreation through heterosexual marriage.
Walker ruled on Aug. 4 that Proposition 8 violated the equal protection and due process rights of gays and lesbians guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. AP
It makes me wonder then, what to do with all the heterosexual couples who have undermined the major reason for marrying (those) who do not want to procreate. The marriage police surely have the right to disqualify them from marriage. What are they promoting, selfish behavior instead of procreation? And should we ask all potential heterosexual couples to take a physical prior to marrying to weed out those who can not create children? How dare they call themselves wed when in fact they too would be harming the states interest in promoting procreation through heterosexual marriage?
And when does it NOT matter that equal protection for Americans is not upheld? Does it matter because a bunch of bigoted, biased, hate-filled intelligent less people disregards the Constitution? Is the Constitution only pertinent to those who say they knew exactly what the founding fathers meant and wrote in its creation? Is it only a really good law if the religious zealots, the faith based bullies insist God, (their God) wrote it? Is it only relevant when it protects the assumed rights of the majority?
What has the behavior of Newt Gingrich, Marc Sanford, Rush Limbaugh, John McCain, Elliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton, David Vitter, Larry Craig, John Ensign, each having an affair, each cheating on their spouses, each an adulterer practicing infidelity, have to do with promoting procreation? Is it okay to just procreate, forget about the kids once you did the procreating? Is it okay to procreate and divide the family though your selfish, testosterone, horniness and lust and leave those you just created to live their lives in a broken home? Why not a law denying equal protection to those who procreate but then refuse the responsibility of maintaining a healthy life for those they created?
What is wrong with using love, as the means for marriage? What is wrong first finding love for one another then building upon that creating a bond unbreakable by carnal or callous feelings? What is wrong with marriage being a reason to adopt and raise other creations from people who never wanted to be parents in the fist place and allow those lives to thrive and prosper?
The Institution of Marriage in the state of California will teeter and fall into chaos because same sex adults can not procreate as husband and wife. If you are gay your sperm does not work? If you are a Lesbian you have no more eggs?
And what happens if those heterosexuals do procreate and they create homosexuals? What happens when procreation begins to cease because too many homosexuals are born?
Procreation must be saved say the Prop 8 proponents and homosexuals are the devils who will stop civilizations from existing; if you ask me it less about procreation and so much more about homophobia. Why disguise the truth?
If I look around at those whom are a result of heterosexual procreation, and who in their life time have strived for difference than consensus, who have demeaned the values of life because of their fears or insecurities, who say they were created in God’s image but want God to look and sound like them, then I figure procreation ain’t all it is supposedly cracked up to be!
