Kudos to the California State Supreme Court today. The high court voted 6-1 to uphold a voter initiative known as Proposition 8 that banned homosexual marriages in California.
You can read about the whole story here.
In a time when 5 states have already legalized homosexual marriage (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Maine - effective 9/1/09 and Vermont - effective 9/14/09), and all 5 of those decisions were made via state judicial action, it is nice to see that someone in the government still understands "We the people..."
The citizens of Iowa are already mobilizing a voter initiative of their own to overturn the state supreme court's decision regarding same-sex marriage. In a recent Gallop poll taken, approx. 60% of Iowans polled were against gay marriage.
Homosexual activists and special interest groups are fighting tooth and nail to keep any and all voter initiatives off the November ballots. And for good reason! The only way for them to legalize gay marriage in the first place was by circumventing the will of the people by using liberal judges to push through special interest rulings.
So, long story short...good job California! It's nice to see the land of fruits and nuts get something right for a change.
