CALIFORNIA CODES
FAMILY.CODE
SECTION 300-310
300. Marriage is a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman, to which the consent of the
parties capable of making that contract is necessary. Consent alone
does not constitute marriage. Consent must be followed by the
issuance of a license and solemnization as authorized by this
division, except as provided by Section 425 and Part 4 (commencing
with Section 500).
I think we got passed arguing about why THESE particular gay marriages were disolved. The conversation just evolved into a discussion, of sorts, about gay marriage in general.
Take your "off topic ticket" back officer ... It wasn't me!
Originally posted by WarChild Dude you gotta lend me that ... There's atleast one person I've know for awhile that swears up and down he's not gay ... But I dunno. No girlfriends. Never.
I keep trying to tell this guy his life would be much better if he wasn't afraid of his sexuality .. but then he gets mad. So I'm thinking if I have a hard print out from an official Gay Dar ... Well fuck it might just free the poor bastard.

Originally posted by baddog I'll tell you the difference, hetero sexuals can not have civil unions . . . we have to get fucking married . . . that is discrimination if you ask me
Wouldn't a common law marriage constitute a civil union? You do have that in California, right?
Here in Canada, when a couple lives together for a ridiculously short period of time (6 months now I think) .. they are considered to be "Common Law". Esentially the same thing as a marriage.

b) Civil Union - A union between any two people of either sex. Male/Female, Male/Male, Female/Female. Does not have a religious background .. not recognized in a "house of god".
would be nice if true, but male/female can not have a civil union
Originally posted by KRL Our legal system has overstepped its bounds again and imposed morality on the people's individual rights to love whoever they damn want.
Unbelievable how much power government has over everyone's personal life in today's world.
2000: California Proposition 22 to restrict marriage to opposite-sex couples was passed by the voters on 2000-MAR-7.

WHY NOT?? Just give me ONE..ONE..*ONE* good example of something BAD comming from gays marrying! (Besides it's "not traditional"..twasn't traditional for the longest time to allow women to vote. But they finally corrected that wrong!)
okay dumbass . . . no opne has said that gays getting married would result in anything bad. It is against the fucking law. Don't like it, get active and do something about getting it changed. If the majority of people in your state agree, you will have made a difference.
Stop acting so ignorant, seriously, your argument holds no water.
This is a legal issue, pure and simple. Nothing else.

I want to marry and live happily ever after with my sheep dog...is that kosher?
what about man on tree love...
human on human love is the only OK way to have civil unions or marriage? where do we stop...
there is always a slippery slope to watch out for, but I really don't care one way or another...what about those that love the cow, or love the horse...where do we stop placing limitations on lifelong love?
seriously...I wonder, I think it's wrong to only allow a certain group tax benefits,etc over others for the sake of some 'legal/paperwork/commitment' based on an emotional attachment...

civil unions can have the same benefits as marriage, just a different title. and asfar as placing limitations on lifelong love, since when do you need acknowledgement from the government to legitimize love?

look dude, if you don't like the law, change it or STFU . . . or move somewhere that the laws meet your approval . . . you don't even live here so I don't know why you are getting your panties in a bunch

no one cares about laws passed by voters
they want something thats been voted illegal and blame the government for enforcing it.
Theking, go back to your room and drink some more. Centurion, move to canada so that you can get married to your hubby. Baddog, you break laws all the time, just as everyone else does. Living For Today, you're cool, exept your country is also responsbile for the croc hunter, which instantly makes you suck.
And now that I've gotten one more post to my name, I'm going to go masturbate to some blowjob vids.

you are right, and I don't whine about it when I get caught. I fight it (sometimes), have even gone to the Appellate Court level 3 times, and won once.
I get involved. If a law is wrong, I do something about it if it effects me.

1) STFU! I can express my views just as you can shout at people all the time to try to prove your points. Your rough shod ways are not at all impressive or intimidating. I was never arguing about the legality of Gay Marriage in California. You seemed to have MISSED that point though because that was the ONLY thing you wanted to rant about. I was discussing and asking questions as to WHY so many people objected to Gay Marriage.
2)You said "Do something about changing the laws" about a dozen times. I'm already very involved in the process thank you.
3)And as for "you don't even live here"..last time I looked California was a part of the UNITED states, and as such, since I am an American citizen, I am very concerned about any event in any state that affects the ENTIRE country! As I am in THIS particular case.
So go find another topic and another member you want to badger ad nauseum because you have gotten quite boring on this subject.

this does not effect the entire countyr dimwit. each state has their own laws, it is not a US law. you may have noticed the link I provided to the California Family Code . . .each state has their own.
I can't believe I'm the first one in this thread to bring this up...
The law is all about interpretation, and in order to be upheld in courts, it needs to be consistent with the constitution.
What happens in court cases like these is not that lawyers and judges take a look at the lawbook and say "Indeed it's there".
What the mayor in question did was not decide that from now on it should be legal for gays to marry... he decided to provoke a lawsuit in which he hoped the law in question would be invalidated.
Quite obviously, in this case the main focus of the court case could have been to decide whether or not the law in question was illegal discrimination. (the reason many racist and sexist laws have been invalidated in court)
That didn't happen though.
The court did not decide that the law indeed was invalid or valid, it just decided that the mayor's actions overstepped his authority. The prosecution basically didn't have the balls to focus on the matter of the validity of the law but instead went for a technicality.
For those saying "people should try to change the laws instead of just breaking them", laws ARE changed in court. For example, many laws against gay sex which were supported by a majority of the people (and thus had no chance of being repealed by politicians) have been invalidated in courts for being unconstitutional.
