In a typical flip-flop, a Republican decides that it is the courts rather than the legislature that should decide this issue: Schwarzenegger believes the issue should be decided by the courts, not by his signature on legislation.
So they are "activist judges" when they are "pro-gay" but it's proper when they decide on a "pro-family" way?

Meant to note that the Utah ruling was not a state court, but a federal appeals court--the 10th District Court. So its ruling applies to the other states in that district as well: Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming.
However, the ruling has been stayed, pending approval.
Earlier today, I presided over a ceremony for two retired guys (one of whom is 73) who never thought they could ever get married. Each of them had a parent there, as well. It was very moving.
The same-sex ceremonies I've performed are among the most emotionally bracing and moving things I've ever had the honor to do.
sarge: People on the far right on this issue aren't hiding. They sincerely have the view that their Christianity requires them to be dicks.
The fact that this is at odds with the actual teachings of Christ doesn't matter. And it is only a coincidence that it exactly matches (with no extra cloth) their politics.
They will face their judgement. And no amount of spin will help them, then.
They want the whole pie. The fact that someone else is making their own pie doesn't matter--someone else getting pie means soon no one will have pie.
Yeah, its bizarre. And pathological. And unchristian. But entirely predictable based upon years of hearing nothing but echo chamber circle jerk fear-mongering.
Somehow two guys in their 70's getting married in PA means that a crazy white guy in Illinois is going to a concentration camp. Because, you know, freedom.
From the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision:
“The argument that the states press hardest in defense of their prohibition of same-sex marriage is that the only reason government encourages marriage is to induce heterosexuals to marry so that there will be fewer ‘accidental births,’ which when they occur outside of marriage often lead to abandonment of the child to the mother (unaided by the father) or to foster care.,” Posner writes. “Overlooked by this argument is that many of those abandoned children are adopted by homosexual couples, and those children would be better off both emotionally and economically if their adoptive parents were married.”
The reality of what? There are monstrous parents in the world?
You don't strike my as drooling-in-your-soup stupid, so I can assume you aren't trying to make the point that gay parents are more likely to torture and rape their children than straight parents.
You better come with a boatload of evidence before making broad generalizations that gay parents commonly engage in child rape.
I'll have to revise my opinion of the spittle content of your gruel.
i've been saying this for years. his level of hatred knows no bounds. people thought it was just "boldwin being boldwin".
i'm not sure which is more disgusting - mocking the parents of murdered children, or proclaiming that gay parents rape and torture their children "muuuuch more" than straight parents.

To respond to 1617, Trinity Western University has never had an accredited law school. Boldwin's claim that they are "no longer accredited" is false. It is his shoddy homework as usual.
There are many reasons that Trinity Western has no accredited law school. Their programs are in general subpar in any field and tend not to be taken very seriously by accreditting agencies in other fields. Of course it makes sensationalist Boldwin news to claim it is only due to their world views and scream Christian persecution. It is a lie. Of course that is exactly what we expect from Boldwin.

You also cannot go to Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Island University, Capilano University, University of the Fraser Valley, Thompson Rivers University or UBC-Okanagan and get a law degree in BC. Every one of those universities is better than Trinity Western. What do you think of that?
Not every university has a law school. A barely a university that is Christian gets Boldwin's full support even though he knows nothing about the "school" in question. However, he can make it into a lie about a religion being prosecuted.

Here is an article that has a more balanced and not sensationalistic (i.e. Boldwin won`t like it) explanation about Trinity Western trying to get a law school accreditation.
One more profession barred to christians, and they aren't gonna stop until you have to renounce your religion to eat.
hyperbole much.
Christians, at least in this country, are barred from no profession. no matter how much that you cry that you're being persecuted, it doesn't change the fact that you're not, at least not for your Christianity.
You are a clown. The percentage on non-religious is in the single digits. You may have some point buried deep in your inferiority complex, but your naked stupidity is very successful in masking it.
Or better yet, ask all those Muslim bakers you are so concerned about being turned somehow into marionettes whether you are making any sort of coherent sense, or just spewing hate.
It is amazing how muslims throwing gays off precipices doesn't trigger liberals, but the thot I might not celebrate their 'marriage' has their panties all in a bunch.
yes. that's extremely likely in a nation where 75 percent of the population identifies as Christian.
ironically, the only person i've actually ever seen on this boards in favor of, in fact, downright demanding of, religious persecution, is you, Baldwin.
It is amazing how muslims throwing gays off precipices doesn't trigger liberals, but the thot I might not celebrate their 'marriage' has their panties all in a bunch.
and that's where you're wrong. no one gives on $hit if you celebrate their marriage. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO CELEBRATE, they're just asking you not to be such a hate-filled dickhole.
They don't care about me at all. They care about their own dominance of the culture. They simply demand I recognize and approve of their lifestyle or give up being employed.
You missed the Al-Anfal campaign working it's way thru the professions, getting people fired for donations to prop 8, random posts on social media, refusing wedding pizzas, etc.
