Hip, Hip, HOORAY for the Constitution!

The country is abuzz about yesterday's court ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker to overturn Proposition 8, California's law prohibiting gay marriage. 

Judge Walker said: "Moral disapproval alone is an impropoer basis on which to deny rights to gay men and lesbians.  The evidence shows conclusively that Proposition 8 enacts, without reason, a private moral view that same-sex copules are inferior to opposite-sex couples." 

Damn straight, Judge Walker.  Or damn gay!  Or damn who-cares-what-your-sexual-orientation-is!

You either believe in personal freedom, or you don't.  You either believe that everyone can decide for themselves how they want to live their life, or you don't.  You either believe in equal protection under the law, or you don't.  Don't rail on how they better not take away yer guns cuz it's yer right to do whut you want and then in the next breath say that homosexuals cannot marry one another.  You're a hypocrite if you say that.

This Newsweek article here sums up why conservatives should be on board with marriage being a full and legal right available to all citizens of the U.S.  I challenge any and all of my conservative readers to check it out, see if it doesn't make you think a little bit differently.
