Breaking: Prop 8 proponents seek to nullify same-sex marriages (CNN)
I guess we knew this was coming. Remind me again why Obama invited that human shitbag Rick Warren to be part of his inauguration ceremony!!!!

(CNN) -- Sponsors of the California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage are seeking to nullify thousands of marriages between gay and lesbian couples performed after the state Supreme Court ruled them constitutional.

The passage of Proposition 8 left the future of thousands of marriages between same-sex couples unclear.

The sponsors Friday filed responses to three anti-Proposition 8 lawsuits with the state Supreme Court. The briefs also defend Proposition 8 against opponents' legal challenges, including an argument that the amendment needed a constitutional convention to be added to the state's constitution.

"We are confident that the will of the voters and Proposition 8 will ultimately be upheld," said Andrew Pugno, General Counsel for ProtectMarriage.com and the Proposition 8 Legal Defense Fund....

3. no whining?!
This does not suprise me at all. I wondered just how long it was going to take before they'd start this little drive to invalidate the marriages of those who are already joined together.

I am beyond disgusted. They won't stop until they have their way. It's time to fight them and to speak out against such actions. I am really sick of these Propag8ers.

6. Well, this is certainly going to come to a crescendo.
If I were spiritually evolved, I might say that the Universe was sending a message that we should stop all the bigotry against those who love, regardless of sex.

8. Question
Didn't the Yes on 8 people promise that they wouldn't fuck with the people who'd already been married?

Gee, Christians lying....how shocking.

9. Now I'm sure if we just talked to these people it'd all be ok!
Edited on Fri Dec-19-08 10:44 PM by Nightflurry
Bleh..

I'm all for talking to opponents and bringing people to the table. Giving a hate monger a place of such high honor is something that's completely different.

This election was supposed to be something special. It's the first time a minority is sworn in as president. So he leads off this historic moment trashing another minority group. What the fuck.

Talk to this fuckhead on your own time if you want to, Obama.


edit: oops, replied to the wrong post. Oh well, doesn't matter.
