[sanctity of marriage] common sense in the usa

Is this picture heartwarming or sickening for you?

A state appeals court upheld a ban on same-sex marriage Thursday, ruling 2-1 that only the Legislature or voters can change California's traditional definition of marriage. "Courts simply do not have the authority to create new rights, especially when doing so involves the definition of so fundamental an institution as marriage," First District Court of Appeal Presiding Justice William McGuiness wrote for the majority. Thursday's ruling follows decisions against same-sex marriage by high courts in Washington and New York. Some states have amended their constitutions to thwart legal challenges by gay activists. The high court of Massachusetts is the only top state court to have ended a ban on same-sex matrimony and this is the state homosexuals should flock to if they wish to indulge in this thing.
