We went from California Dreamin’ to California Waitin’ again. Hey Gays & Lesbians, you can get married, no you can’t, yes you can, no you can’t. So again the stay is on, and the appealing process will commence in December, and it will take about a year or more to reach the SCOTUS. California needs to stop shakin around, we love that this land gave us the opportunity, but it only gave it for a short time.
Wasn’t it a rule from primary school that if you pulled out a piece of candy during class, you better have brought enough for the rest of the class. So again, Cali has part of the class with candy and part without. Lets get this figured out.
Nearly 2 years after prop 8 passed, the proposition has been repealed and the STAY IS LIFTED, therefore marriages can commence on August 18, 2010 @ 5pm.
We are married here, we are married now, and no one will stop our marriage. We want to see more of our friends, who are couples, have the option to tie the knot and enjoy the benefits all other married couples do. Separate is NOT equal.
The heckler in SF was GetEqual’s Kip Williams, who was arrested after confronting President Obama at the Barbara Boxer event.
Kip Williams had this to say:
“President Obama’s response was disheartening. As the police detained and escorted me out of the room, he told the crowd that I don’t read the newspapers. Otherwise, he said, I would know that he’s been working with Congress to move on the issue very soon. But I do read the newspapers, and while it is imperative to pass this bill, it just doesn’t go far enough. As long as lesbian and gay servicemembers are being discharged, we still have a problem – and this bill doesn’t tell us if or when those discharges are going to stop.”
