THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!

The California Supreme Court has finally come to its decision on the controversial Proposition 8.

*rips open letter*

Proposition 8 has been upheld.

Well that's one less thing the Zen Master has to watch.

You'll have to pardon my lack of shock on this development. I said on the ED-P more than once that it would be unlikely that the CSC would go against the will of the people. It's a blatant example of the Ad Populum logical fallacy, but when did the common American man ever vote logically on the issues?

On the plus side, all the gay couples who got married before Prop 8 was passed get to remain valid.

My personal stance on the whole gay marriage thing? Every pro-gay marriage argument saying that black civil rights movement/slavery = the struggle for gay marriage is a load of crap, in my opinion. I also don't think that there is any logical reason for gay marriage other than a bunch of tax benefits (maybe the couple has 'true love', but

That said, I am pro-all civil unions, meaning that I want civil unions for everyone and the word marriage removed from government entirely.

So the question is: What's the pro-gay marriage camp going to do now? The state that prides itself for being 'the most progressive' state has rejected gay marriage? Will they try and take their argument to the state courts (they tried - and failed in Washington awhile back)? Will they go the initative route (IMO that's the best route for them at the moment), or will they try to push legislation like in the majority of New England?

As the Zen Master says, "We'll see."
