Are the marriages performed before the referendum valid?
I believe so. I think that the Supreme Court added that stipulation in the language for the marriage law in June. Why is a civil union not enough? Why does it have to be gay marriage? I understand that although civil unions have the same legal standing as marriages, it is not the same from a societal point of view. It implies a lesser, second-class citizenship I think. What do you think of Connecticut’s ruling in favor of same-sex unions? I’m thrilled! I hope California’s next to overturn 8 and re-institute gay marriage! What do you say to people who say the protesting is a little bit too late? I would say that it is a very pessimistic P.O.V. (point-of-view). The result wasn’t one that we wanted, obviously, but if we want to change it we need to keep adding pressure to the government in order to get the result that we DO want. Inaction is the last thing, and the worst thing. Follow Brooke-Sidney Gavins on Twitter: www.twitter.
