Today the Supreme Court hears arguments over the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage proposition passed by California voters in 2008.
I will be very, very outraged if their vote goes the wrong way.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that the court could uphold Proposition 8 (boo!); strike it down (yay!); or decide that supporters of Proposition 8 lack standing to appeal in which case previous rulings that the proposition is unconstitutional will stand (yay, again!).
The Other Side will argue that marriage between a man and a woman is "traditional," a word that makes me grind my teeth. Slavery in the South was traditional, I guess, and so was women not being allowed to vote.
And then there's the procreation argument, which is nuts because so many childless heterosexual couples-- Jerry and me, for example--are married.
Let's have justice, Justices.
