Lies and the Lying Liars
Remember how in the wake of the passage of Proposition H8 the gay-bashers promised that it wouldn’t apply to those who had gotten married in the period between the California Supreme Court ruling in May and Nov. 4?
Yeah. It turns out that they were lying their asses off, same as always:
The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief telling the court that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions.
They’re coming for George Takei’s marriage. And if Sulu’s state-sanctioned contract isn’t safe, no one’s is! But wait, whose spooge-stain is that I spy on the amicus brief?
“Proposition 8’s brevity is matched by its clarity. There are no conditional clauses, exceptions, exemptions or exclusions,” reads the brief co-written by Kenneth Starr, dean of Pepperdine University’s law school and a former independent counsel who investigated President Bill Clinton.
Yep, ol’ Ken “Sticky Fingers” Starr himself is throwing his little head behind the effort to rob Ellen Degeneres of her freshly-minted marriage license. Can you say, “obsession?” I knew you could.
