Calif. Supreme Court to take up gay marriage ban, page 1

Here we go again! I'm glad I don't live in Cali.

More bench legislation and the voters once again don't mean anything. There goes your voter confidence. Why even bother next time. Leave it up to a judge. We seem to do that best in this country.

Could someone please define what constitutes a vulnerable minority group? In my eyes, I would deem someone with severe physical or mental disabilities as being part of a vulnerable minority.

As far as I can see, the only vulnerable characteristic of this group is the inability to technically "Marry". They are able to hold high paying jobs, own homes , earn dual incomes, own cars, own land, own businesses and VOTE. Is that vulnerable?

How about living your life as a quadriplegic or multiple amputee or being dependent on others for your pure basic existence. That is vulnerable.

Settle for a legal Civil Union and drop it. All you want are the legalities that accompany a marriage anyway. A marriage is only a piece of paper. There are plenty of common law marriages out there. It should be all about your relationship and not just a piece of paper.

This seems like a fight just for the sake of fighting. Settle for your legal rights and leave "marriage" on the table.
