The California Supreme Court ruling was correct. On August 29, 2007 I clearly stated that I find homosexual behavior disturbing <https://coastcontact.wordpress.com/2007/08/>. I have not changed my views.
However, homosexuals do have the same rights as everyone else. As explained by Cornell University <http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/Equal_protection>, The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Many religious people find this ruling horrifying. They are wrong. They argue that homosexual marriage will effect all marriages. They feel threatened by this change in the laws. I suspect these same people objected to changes in the law that allow inter-racial marriage.
Divorce and adultry are the real threats to marriage. I have been married to the same lovely wife for 39 years. The vow was “to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.” We have been in good health but we have argued and we have had difficult financial times. We have never considered divorce. The flirting redhead (and I really am attracted to them), and one blonde and brunette (a previous flame of mine) were probably the threats for me. Other people’s behavior is no threat to anyone’s marriage.
