Proposition 8 is being challenged on constitutional grounds. One of the news articles can be found here:
Witness: Civil unions like allowing just one bite of Twinkie - CNN.com
What caught my attention was the following excerpt:
Charles Cooper, an attorney representing Protect Marriage, the group that came up with Proposition 8, told the judge in his opening statement the purpose of marriage is to promote procreation between men and women.
I don't want children. My girlfriend doesn't want children. Neither of us has children. My girlfriend got her tubes tied at the age of 32 and went through menopause at 42. And if we ever break up, I plan to get a vascectomy before entering the dating scene again.
For those of you who oppose gay marriage because you believe as Charles Cooper does, why should my girlfriend and I have more right to marry than a homosexual couple? Do you believe that we should be banned from marrying also? Or do you believe that Charles Cooper lied to the judge in his opening statement?
