California legalizes same sex marraiges

[SFG75]

Yep, a split decision settled it. Any thoughts?

Someone please explain to me why the opponents of same-sex marriage so confidently asset that it is a threat to "traditional marriage" (multi-sex marriage?). You may not care for the idea, but how it is a threat? I don't like what some people eat either, but it doesn't threaten my mostly healthy diet.

They did that in Massachusetts a few years ago, didn't they? Could someone give an account of exactly which Biblical plagues or mass orgies have struck Boston since then?

I don't see why it shouldn't be legal, it's not like everyone is going to marry someone of the same sex all of a sudden, it's not some sort of epidemic.
It's been legal over here for a while now, no Biblical plagues or anything have struck here either.

Wasnt marriage originaly made to pretty much force women into relationships without choice, and trap them for sex and work??? Hmm cant see why people try so hard to "protect" such a tradition, or why others try so hard to "become part" of it.

Because there are people who believe in the whole marital bliss thing?

I think it is more primitive than that, the women as property thing. If two men marry or two women, then who can be whose property? There is no automatic way to decide.

Hmm, I don't like the idea of me being the property of someone at some point.
