No surprises here: California’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional, according to a ruling announced Tuesday by an appeals court. The long-awaited ruling by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court is likely to lead to more appeals, and marriages probably will remain on hold until that process ends. The case was pending for months because [...]

My column today spotlights the left-wing/New York Times alliance against Chick-Fil-A. Anti-corporate/anti-Christian blogs + MSM advocacy journalism = job-sabotaging smear machine. Chick-Fil-A isn’t the only one in the restaurant industry targeted by the progressive mob over the past month. The SEIU has been waging open-borders attacks on restaurant chain Chipotle simply because the company complied [...]

The ruling is here. From the ruling’s conclusions of law: “Plaintiffs challenge Proposition 8 under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment. Each challenge is independently meritorious, as Proposition 8 both unconstitutional burdens the exercise of the fundamental right to marry and creats an irrational classification on the basis of sexual [...]

Hollywood and political celebrities are such lemmings. AIDS ribbons. Foreign baby adoptions. Livestrong bracelets. Now, every fame-seeker and left-wing panderer wants his/her mouth duct-taped to show solidarity with the gay marriage movement. The latest slave to fashion? Cindy McCain, following in the oh-so-edgy-for-Tinseltown footsteps of her daughter, MEghan: Who’s silencing these Prop. 8 opponents? They’re [...]

I noted the highly unusual scheme hatched by liberal California Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker to turn the Prop. 8 challenge court proceedings into a show trial. The US Supreme Court has just blocked Walker’s plans to put the trial on a delayed YouTube broadcast while it considers the legal issues: The Supreme Court [...]

Judicial activism + far Left radical activism = Courtroom intimidation. Yesterday, liberal California Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued an unprecedented ruling that will put the trial involving a challenge to the Prop. 8 same-sex marriage ban on YouTube. SFGate.com reports: Next week’s trial in San Francisco of a lawsuit challenging the initiative that [...]

I noted a leading Maine gay activist’s threat against traditional marriage proponents the day after Election Day. There’s more: Police are investigating a pair of threats against gay marriage opponents in Maine. Marc Mutty from Stand for Marriage Maine says a threatening voicemail message was discovered Monday morning at campaign headquarters in which a female [...]

Just like the anti-Prop. 8 mob in California, the left-wing mafioso in Maine are targeting Americans who oppose gay marriage. Where are all the civility police to decry the climate of hate? Voters on Tuesday repealed the state’s same sex marriage law after an emotionally charged campaign that drew large numbers to the polls and [...]

Socially liberal Maine rejects a gay marriage initiative — making it the 31st time (out of 31 tries) that voters have torpedoed such proposals. How long until gay marriage proponents start decrying America’s “climate of hate?” 3, 2, 1… Maine voters have torpedoed a state law that would have allowed gay couples to marry. With [...]

Following in the footsteps of the anti-Prop. 8 mafia, two gay activist groups have announced plans to “out” Washington state citizens who sign petitions to oppose expanding same-sex partnership laws. Via the Seattle Times: A group called WhoSigned.org says it will publicize the names of people signing petitions for Referendum 71, which seeks a public [...]

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Joe Garofoli is providing a helpful public service for angry, anti-Prop. 8 demonstrators looking for companionship. He’s just published hook-up instructions from “progressive techies” on how to locate the nearest protest (hat tip: JWF): For those not in San Francisco or LA to celebrate/mourn Tuesday’s Prop 8 ruling, the progressive techies [...]

They’ll be back.

Hope you are well-rested from the Memorial Day weekend. Lots on the docket — literally. Obama’s SCOTUS pick is widely rumored to be revealed sometime this week: In a C-SPAN interview that aired this weekend, Obama said he hoped for hearings on his eventual nominee in July, followed by a final confirmation vote before Congress [...]

Saudi Arabia’s “Miss Beautiful Morals” contest.

Here’s your follow-up to the vulgar gossip blogger Perez Hilton’s attack on Miss California USA Carrie Prejean. On MSNBC (natural habitat of slimers), Hilton says he takes back his apology for calling Prejean a “dumb b*tch” and then pours on even more slime by laughing that while he called her that epithet he was really [...]

Disgrace.

“…it does leave me with a bit of a sick feeling in my stomach.”

We were considered fascists for questioning theirs, but it’s patriotic for them to question ours. Per Hot Air headlines, Hollywood lib Tom Hanks tars Prop. 8 supporters as “un-American.” As opposed to all of those patriots gathering black lists and compiling maps of people who exercised their right to vote and dared to express political [...]

The tolerance bullies are at it again — engaging in renewed property damage in the name of peace, love, and understanding. Oh, and shooting themselves in the foot to boot. The anti-Prop. 8 mob opened up their new year by spray-painting a Catholic church in San Francisco’s Castro district to protest support for traditional marriage. [...]

California AG Jerry Brown promised to uphold the will of the people. Then the anti-Prop. 8 mob reared its ugly head. So, now he’s changed his mind. Feel the power of the rainbow-colored fist: The California attorney general has changed his position on the state’s new same-sex marriage ban and is now urging the state [...]

“Not everyone has to believe the same things.” Or do they?

The sun rose today. The world didn’t end. So now, the anti-Prop. 8 mob is back to bashing Mormons and denying that gay activists have gone overboard with their blacklist tactics and bullying campaigns. Via the Deseret News: An advertisement in last Friday’s New York Times that defended The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day [...]

The fishwrap of record whitewashes the anti-Prop. 8 mob.

Strike out.

Be “tolerant.” Or else.

Low notes.

“It’s a shame.”

Yield.

Hmmmm…. The California Supreme Court’s order last week to consider legal challenges to Proposition 8 contained one surprising twist — the name of the sole justice who voted against hearing the cases. Justice Joyce L. Kennard, a staunchly independent if not stubborn jurist, has a lengthy record of protecting gay rights, including the right to [...]

“Men seeking men” has now been enshrined with “I have a dream” as a civil rights rallying cry of the 21st century.
