I cannot begin to tell you how angry I am that my State’s court has ruled that my friend’s marriages have no value.

Update

Well, BBum says that Cory and, by simple algebra, myself have foot-in-mouth, and we should realize that the court had no choice to rule the way it did. And that it creates the necessary legal tension to have the Knight Amendment overturned. Fine, point well taken.

So let me refine my reaction:

1. I am angry that the Christian Right in California had constructed a situation, by promoting Proposition 22, that made Mayor Newsome take unilateral, unconstitutional action.
2. I am angry that in response to the “February Revolution”, the Christian Right and the President of the United States reacted as if we, in the Bay Area, were Enemies of the State.
3. I’m angry that a supposedly advanced, open society is having this argument.

So Bill, I get the damn realpolitik, but I don’t have to like it.

Patrick feels the same way. Discuss it there.
