“…The future of marriage should be decided by the legislature, not executives who take matters into their own hands,” Raum argued…”

Yeah, riiiiiiight. Here in California these groups whined that the courts should make the decision. Then the courts ruled in our favor, so they said the Legislature should make the decision. So our legislature TWICE passed PRO-Gay Marriage legislation, which Schwarzennegar vetoed. Then the Calif supreme court Dismissed Prop 22 as unconstitutional (Which these fucks came here to write then fight for). Now these fucks are saying ‘It’s Up to the Voters – again’.

When the California voters reject their ANTI-GAY ballot measure in November, these punks will go file in the Federal Supreme Court to press their case using DOMA as their ‘precident’ to interfer in State decisions.

How to end this? DEMAND that our FEDERAL GOVERNMENT add SEXUAL ORIENTATION and TRANSGENDERS into the HATE CRIME laws.

The minute that is done, these groups have ZERO legal standing. And we can take THEM to court to stop their stupidity.

Let’s fuck them where it count: Their EGO.

I went to the ADF site, and some of their affiliates (and their opponents) and read about the right wing agenda and their goals. It is absolutlely disgusting how these hateful bigots truly want control over all the US and state governments, our institutions, and all the people that reside within the US borders. They have no tolerance for anyone or anything unless one believes purely as they demand. It is nothing but absolute totaliarian Christian fundamentalism, just like the Taliban and Al Qaeida. If they succeed, AND I HOPE THEY DO NOT, we will have another Inquisition in power, just like 500 years ago. May the Universe, and Free People everywhere, stop them from their quest which could eventually lead to imprisonment and death for their opponents, AND all LGBT people. Please do NOT let those religious nuts gain control of the courts. The courts are the minorities ONLY defense against a ‘tyrany of the majority and the monitarily powerful’.

Thank you. That was the first thing I thought of when reading Mr. Raum’s response. And this guy is a lawyer? From what country?
It IS the responsibility of state leaders to enforce the FEDERAL constitution over state statutes.
How does a lawyer manage to go through all those years of school without taking one Civics 101 class?

Not surprised to see the ADF alive and well across the country up in NY. Equality of human rights should be a natural birth given right, not because, he said, she said. It is sad to hear all the reasons the ADF has for not wanting freedom of rights….cause it hurts alot of people who are left out.

Here we go again – 1 step forwards and 2 steps back – Are we going through the same shit as 20 years ago when it is STILL ok to blatantly segregate, humiliate and try to anhilate gay prople. There should be more outcry about this. Kick the dog, the dog bites the cat and we are still the last bastian of acceptable hatred with the bullseye still painted on our foreheads. For Fu**s sake, this is deplorable and no-one gives a sh*t !!

“Arizona-based ADF” right there’s your answer. The Gov should tell them to GTF out of New York and back to their own state where they can be a bigoted as they want to be. Seriously. It should be illegal for out of state sh*t stirrer bigot groups like this to even attempt to file suit in a state where they do not reside. Same thing with the Virginia bigots who got the California initiative on the ballot.

Evidently the Alliance Defense Fund lawyers have never heard of the “Full Faith And Credit” clause of the U.S. Constitution. Not surprising, if they got their law degrees at Regents’ or Liberty law schools.
