As usual, the vote was along what are basically politcal party lines. The Bush appointee to the court voted to support the ban on gay marriage, the two demoncratic appointed (Carter, Clinton) judges voted Prop 8 down. So much for justice, just politics as usual. Damn!!! Now the politics continue with the legal wrangling.

What matters is that the anti-constitutionalists lost, and that gay marriage is once again legal in California - at least until the next level finds one way or t'other.

And Washington is poised to accept gay marriage, isn't it?

Clint Eastwood: 'I don't give a f*ck' if gays marry

Quote:

Don't expect to see him marching in a Pride parade anytime soon, but gays may have found an unexpected ally in Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood.

In the October issue of GQ magazine, Eastwood said that Republicans were making a big mistake by opposing same sex marriage.

"These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage?" Eastwood opined. "I don't give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of."

"They go on and on with all this bullshit about 'sanctity' -- don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."

Although he is a registered Republican, Eastwood doesn't consider himself a conservative. He has supported California's former Democratic Gov. Gray Davis and Democratic Rep. Sam Farr.

"I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21, because he promised to get us out of the Korean War," he told GQ. "And over the years, I realized there was a Republican philosophy that I liked. And then they lost it. And libertarians had more of it. Because what I really believe is, let's spend a little more time leaving everybody alone."

The report has been updated to reflect that Rep. Sam Farr is currently serving as a congressman from California.
