- Tomboys, on 05/16/2008, -9/+64Digg seriously needs to fix their submission process where dupes are concerned. When I submitted this there were no other duplicate stories... according to digg. After the fact I saw one that was submitted at the same time and two that were submitted 8 minutes before. Since then there have been at least 20 (and counting) dupe submissions. When so many dupes get submitted it covers up other stories making digg seem very redundant and boring.

- AriaStar, on 05/16/2008, -16/+53Love between adults is beautiful, regardless of if it's between a man/woman, man/man, woman/woman, tranny/man, whatever. This world needs more love and I'm proud to be part of a state fighting to recognize that. It's hard not to throw confetti out of happiness for the gays who are one step closer to being given the same rights as straight people!
- Namaha, on 05/16/2008, -9/+45How sad is it that authorization of constitutional rights is breaking news =/
- Gioleb, on 05/16/2008, -5/+41I support gay marriage only if both girls are hot!
More seriously, I wish happiness to all the future married couples. - inactive, on 05/16/2008, -13/+45Finally, at least there's a couple places in the US where I can have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else.
- kinghajj, on 05/16/2008, -2/+31The Supreme Court of California *did* enforce the law--the Constitution of the State of California. If you remember, constitutions have higher legal authority than normal legislation.
- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -7/+36During the last Presidential elections, I talked with one of my elderly neighbors and tried to persuade her not to vote for Bush. She said, "I don't care, I am just so disgusted at the thought of those gays getting married, there's nothing that would make me not vote for Bush."
A couple of days ago, she was complaining about the rise of her insurance costs, prescription costs, gas pricess and that her son's job was outsourced and he was in foreclosure and now bankruptcy because he couldn't sell his home. I looked at her and said, "Well, I'm sure the fact that gays can't marry makes it all worth it." She just looked at me, went into the house and slammed the door!
I'm glad the old bitch got what was coming to her as will a lot of other fvckers that thought stopping queers from getting married was more important than getting that stupid prick out of the White House! - inactive, on 05/16/2008, -5/+34Homosexuals are gay!
- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -4/+30I think gays should be able to marry, they should have the chance to suffer like the rest of us =)
- cheesejaguar, on 05/16/2008, -6/+30Now if only we could have individual rights without having to jump through hoops at the California Supreme Court.
- pf101, on 05/16/2008, -4/+26Just like being an a$$hole is a choice and I believe you'll go to hell for that. :)
- alukima, on 05/16/2008, -5/+25Your an ***** because your opinion is full of bigotry and hate. I majored in Theology for two years and I still have yet to see where it says "gay people go to hell" in the original translations of the bible. But like most morons who use the bible as a basis to hate and judge others you probably haven't read the book all the way though on your own.
Thanks for making Christians look like *****! - inactive, on 05/16/2008, -4/+24Still a LONG ways to go.
- Namaha, on 05/16/2008, -3/+23How is the ability to marry a "special right?"
- chester27, on 05/16/2008, -5/+24Marijuana vending machines...
Same sex marriage...
Man, California has got it made. :) - pf101, on 05/16/2008, -0/+18Bull. They can't get married. They can have a civil union but in most places it's not recognized. What special rights do the want? The same legal bennies as same sex? How DARE they! The same medical bennies as same sex? The HELL you say! What are they asking for that straight couples don't get?
- tushyd, on 05/16/2008, -8/+26great news
- chonuts, on 05/16/2008, -2/+19"People always say that we can't have gay marriage because marriage is a sacred institution that happens in the church. It's sacred... NO IT'S NOT! Marriage ain't sacred! Not in America. Not in a country that watches 'Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire' or 'The Bachelor' or 'Who Wants to Marry a Midget.' Get the ***** outta here! Gay people have as much of a right to be miserable as everybody else! Michael Jackson got married. How *****' sacred is that *****?"
--Chris Rock (I think he was talking to you...) - pilot3033, on 05/16/2008, -2/+19The whole point of having a Supreme Court is to overturn laws (voted, passed, or otherwise) that violate the constitution. By your logic we would still have bans on interracial marriage because at the time, the constituency was in favor of it. This is a check (and to take some of the other lobbies rhetoric...) that has been woven into the fabric of this nation; we decided long ago that we are all created equal, and while it has taken some time to fulfill that dream, this is a big step towards that goal. To say that this court decision was anything but a right step is to defy the foundation that this country was built on: equality and freedom.
- slimnickyy, on 05/16/2008, -2/+19This hasn't happened in Canada or any other country that has gay marriage. The sky hasn't fallen in in these countries, there's no polygamy or legalization of child molestation (seriously, someone insinuated that). Thus in practice your theory has been shown to be flawed.
- xstarsprinklesx, on 05/16/2008, -2/+18Lucky thing hell isn't real, then.
- neurotap, on 05/16/2008, -3/+19I'm going to try and be constructive for once, so bear with me please.
I can't see what the big deal about gay marriage is. Even if it is immoral, which I doubt it is. What gay people choose to do with their lives does not affect me or my family at all. It doesn't affect my neighborhood. It does not affect my community. It does not even affect the country. People who think that gays excercising their rights to marry somehow degrades the morality of the country are just ***** stupid.
Gay marriage does not encourage people to be gay, it gives the people who choose to be gay the freedom to marry. Their god given right. Whether or not God likes it, is irrelevant. God gave men the freewill to choose what they want to do. He does not dictate what we can do, only tells us what we should do. That does not give anybody the right to limit other people's rights. That would be against the core of christianity. Treating other people as less than yourself, is breaking one of the core commandments that God handed down to Moses. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
A question for all you fundamentalists out there. In this case, would it be right for somone to take away your right to marry? What makes you more special than everyone else? Who gave you the right to choose what others can and cannot do? Do you think God will look kindly at how blatently prejudiced you have been to your fellow man? Regardless of whether or not anyone is going to hell, it is their God given right to choose what they do and where they go. Not yours. Stop trying to save everyone else and just focus on saving yourselves, because you need it.
Digg me down, I don't give a *****. But this needed to be said and I am damn tired of all the self-righteous biggots posting their ***** here on Digg. Do us all a favor and take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you are happy with what you are doing and saying. If you are christian, then ask yourself if God will be happy with what you did. Saying things like, "Gays don't have rights" is. is offensive to most all reasonable people. It is prejudiced and wrong.
I am not gay. I am not a christian. It should not matter, because I am a person just like everybody else. - Y0tsuya, on 05/16/2008, -1/+17You're welcome to move here and help us pay our huge debt and yawning budget deficit.
- AriaStar, on 05/16/2008, -0/+16I want to give you a hug and beat the hell out of those who think you shouldn't have the same rights I do. No one's business but yours.
- tones1, on 05/16/2008, -10/+26Why is California still even part of the Union? They are too rational.
- alukima, on 05/16/2008, -1/+16If the law is unconstitutional the supreme court can over turn it. The Constitution trumps Laws.
- Jimbob200, on 05/16/2008, -1/+16The court that made this decision was composed of 6 republicans and 1 democrat. How is that liberal activist?
- beefygeek, on 05/16/2008, -4/+19How nice of you to play the roll of God. Don't forget to post your hate about the people having children out of wed lock, people who have gotten a divorce, who use drugs, are over weight, who use a condom, those who cut other people off in traffic (oh my goodness - that COULD be attempted murder!), and of course my all time favorite; those who judge others.
Have a NICE day! - nekochan, on 05/16/2008, -2/+16just make it between two adult sentients so we can get the whole robot/clone/whatever marriage thing out of the way early as well. it'll cleanly bar animals and children like everyone's so worried about too.
- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -4/+18What you believe is wrong.
- YuriSakazaki, on 05/16/2008, -5/+19If gay marriage is legal, I want to be able to marry two women.
- slimnickyy, on 05/16/2008, -1/+14That's okay we didn't want you to come anyhow. God forbid you live your own life and not worry about what other people do.
- pf101, on 05/16/2008, -0/+13Why do you care if they wonder if your wife is a dude? BTW - many people think gay marriage IS "regular" marriage.
- freakk123, on 05/16/2008, -4/+17You are an idiot. That is what I believe.
- freakk123, on 05/16/2008, -1/+14erikf08, you sir are a moron.
- omnibahumut, on 05/16/2008, -2/+13Being gay is not a choice. Thats a fact, and not an opinion. Do you recall the moment in time when you finally decided to be straight? Didn't think so.
- solomonsjim, on 05/16/2008, -0/+11And if that happens, then you will have *hundreds* of couples newly married in California take the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court. Then the fireworks will start.
If the Supremes determine that a 1-woman, 1-man marriage requirement in a state constitution is unlawful, then existing similar bans in all other states will be instantly vulnerable to similar lawsuits. Remember, this is hypothetical because the opponents in CA have their work cut out for them to get the proposal on the November ballot, and then to have it pass.
The matter is very likely to reach the Supremes even if the opponents cannot amend CA's constitution. This will likely be when one couple married in CA sues another state that refuses to acknowledge their marriage. The suit will allege a violation of federal law, namely the reciprocity provisions that require each state to extend full faith and credit to contracts established in other states of the Union.
If the Supremes rule in favor of those litigants (not a done deal, given the current conservative slant on the SCOTUS), then all state constitutions and all state laws which prohibit marriage between same-sex partners would **instantly** be overturned, making the right of same-sex partners to marry a constitutional right. - luchid, on 05/16/2008, -3/+14Shondell: I hope you read the part of the Bible that says you shouldn't judge. Hypocritical christian.
- lukas88, on 05/16/2008, -10/+20All love is beautiful: yes
All love is equally fun to watch: no
Just wanted to make that clear - xstarsprinklesx, on 05/16/2008, -1/+11If you use the word "wife," people will assume you're referring to a female. Two males who married would most likely both be husbands.
And part of the eventual goal is not to have to qualify it as anything, because it's irrelevant. - centerblack, on 05/16/2008, -1/+11No we won't.
- masterm1nd, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10Did they overturn the ban on love too?
- jlous, on 05/16/2008, -2/+11What has that got to do with anything?
Or are you saying people who will go to hell should not be allowed to marry? - lohphat, on 05/16/2008, -5/+14Damned queers! They should only allow marriage as it is in The Bible!!11!!1!moses
Polygamy.
/sarcasm - jeopardydd, on 05/16/2008, -2/+11We live in a Constitutional Democracy. They upheld the Constitution. The Constitution protects the minority from the majority, and that's why it is so important.
Democracy without a Constitution is like 2 foxes and a chicken deciding what to have for dinner. - inactive, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10Not breaking if it's already on the front page.
- inactive, on 05/16/2008, -1/+10If you dont like it you can always move to Iran.
