CA Supreme Court Imposes Same-sex 'Marriage,' Overturning Prop. 22

Ruling Underscores importance of November's Ballot Initiative Protecting Marriage

WASHINGTON, D.C. -The Family Research Council today sharply criticized the California Supreme Court for its decision overturning the definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman, which was overwhelmingly adopted by 61 percent of the state's voters in a 2000 referendum.

"It's outrageous that the court has overturned not only the historic definition of marriage, but the clear will of the people of California, as expressed in Proposition 22." said FRC President Tony Perkins. "The California Supreme Court assumed the powers of a legislative body by imposing same-sex 'marriage.' However, in 2000, the people of California spoke loudly and clearly on the value of marriage when 61 percent of voters approved Proposition 22."

"The California Supreme Court has taken a jackhammer to the democratic process, and the right of the people to affect change in public policy. Four judges discarded the votes of 4,618,673 Californians who approved the state's 'Defense of Marriage Act.' Voters understand that children should not be deprived of a mother or a father," added Perkins.

FRC urged Californians to support a marriage amendment to the state's constitution, which is slated to appear on the ballot in the November election. "Anticipating this ruling from a court of activist judges, over 1.1 million California voters signed petitions placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot this November. The California Marriage Protection Act will provide voters with the opportunity to correct this exercise in judicial activism and to permanently protect the definition of marriage," said Perkins.

"This decision put marriage at risk all across the nation and again highlights the need for a Marriage Protection Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that this divisive campaign for the oxymoron of 'same-sex marriage' will be ended once and for all."

7. So ...

if you're infertile, that means you shouldn't be married either? :shrug:

9. Well, I guess if you enjoy each other's company...

that would be ok.

No sex, though. There's no reason to have sex if you can't have children!
