SF Superior Court: Banning Gay Marriage is Unconstitutional

Well, there you have it:

A discriminatory law "cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional,'' [Superior Court Judge Kramer] said. He said the same argument was made and rejected in 1948, when the California Supreme Court became the first in the nation to strike down a state ban on interracial marriage.

The state Supreme Court's 1948 ruling established not merely that mixed- race couples could marry but that "one can choose who to marry'' and that the state cannot interfere without a legitimate reason, Kramer said. He said the state can impose health-related restrictions, like the ban on marrying close relatives, but cannot discriminate based on arbitrary classifications.

It doesn't get much better than this. Again, what's the problem here? The idea doesn't feel right to you? The mere concept that someone out there might be marrying someone else of the same gender? Aw...it must be so hard to be you to endure the suffering!

You know, if I were actually having an argument with someone about this, I probably wouldn't mock them so openly. But really...it's not as if anyone actually reads this anyway... So prove me wrong already!
