The Opportunity Game

It has been over twenty-four hours since the California State Supreme Court refused to rule the egregiously homophobic Proposition 8 unconstitutional. I’m still in shock that the court found it legal to take away the rights of a group of American citizens. While I am sure that history will prove this decision to be the last gasp of a dying bigoted agenda, it saddens me that the court deemed this proposition worthy of any respect at all.

I find it ludicrous that supporters of Proposition 8 find that the marriage of two lesbians or gay men undermines the institution of marriage. How can the marriage of two men or two women possibly undermine another marriage that is healthy? It seems to me that supporters of Proposition 8 view marriage as a special club. It is only open to a couple composed of one man and one woman. Any other combination must be excluded. If one is to use marriage as a weapon of exclusion, I think that love should be the exclusionary determinant. If you do not love one another, you definitely should be persuaded not to marry.
