The revolution will not be televised-and that is too bad

In the US at the moment there is a court battle looming in California that will likely make its way all the way to the Supreme Court. This means that whatever outcome it has, it will have an impact in all states. Let me repeat that: it will have an impact in all states. The court case comes as a response to a slight majority of California voters stripping away the law allowing same-sex marriage. This was known as Prop 8. It was an overturning of the California State Supreme Court which had found that marriage as a right could not be limited to heterosexuals.

Now what I am hoping will happen is that this goes to the Supreme Court and that it finds that a group of citizens cannot strip the rights of another group of citizens. However its going to be a long way there. There was some hope that the trial would be shown live on youtube which I would thoroughly enjoyed. Why? Watching these people, who claim that traditional marriage is under threat, try to make up a lot of garbage to appeal to the bigots in American society. I have asked before on Facebook and I will ask again here now, can anyone come up with a decent argument why homosexual marriage should not be allowed that is not based on religion? If you are able to, then please post it here. Otherwise, I am going to continue concluding that this is all about hating a group of people based on their sexuality.
