The key issue is whether government should be involved in the freedom to create relationships between individuals.

The answer is, they should not, which is the essence behind the California court's finding.

The right to decide the terms of human relationships is one of those left by the Constitution to the citizenry, and should be added to the Bill of Rights.

There are civil consequences to marriage, and they should be uniformly applied to any couple meeting other requirements, such as a blood test, without regard to sexual orientation, which is just none of the state's business.

The fact that some folks just cannot stop thinking about others' sexuality is not a good justification for making a religion out of being a busybody, or a government, either.

There was some chat upthread as to whether it is or is not a wide-spread perception that homosexuality is "disgusting". All I can say is, to feel thaty amount of revulsion toward something, you sure have to put a lot of attention on it, first. WHich does not constitute minding your own business.
