California legalizes gay marriage.

California has overturned a ban on gay marriage. I'm very happy for gay couples in California. It's a step in the direction of progress.

The issue is, restricting the rights of gay couples does not help or protect the rights of straight couples. The issue is a matter of human rights. And if we're going to recognize marriage at all, as a definition of the longevity and commitment of a loving relationship, no one has any right to dictate love in regard to other people.

If, on the other hand, we're defining marriage as male property rights of women or as a sanction of the purity of bloodlines and inheritance rights, either of which are byproducts of a patriarchal society - as marriage was once intended - then sure, let's prevent gays from marrying.

And somebody, tell Hillary Clinton to stop running for President - not because she has been defeated in the popular vote or in delegate counts or because it's mathematically impossible for her to win now, but because she has no right, as a woman, to make decisions that would affect men, who are naturally inherently superior to her. It would be absurd to grant her the right to hold higher authority than her husband because she is, of course, his property. And by the way, Bill should be shamed for only having a daughter; his precious bloodline is destroyed unless he can get that damned, pesky marriage to his post-menopausal wife annulled or perhaps have her stoned to death so that he can buy himself a nice, young floozy (officially! legally!) to use up until he gets a son before he dies.

By extension, we should also prevent interracial couples from marrying. Those sullied mulattoes are a waste of flesh, aren't they? Acceptable for slavery, I suppose. Too bad nobody informed Barack Obama's parents of this one. He can march his Harvard law degree right into a good ole fashioned Georgia plantation and pick some cotton!

Is this what most people think marriage still means? People who live in the 21st century in the United States of America?

Oh, right... I forgot:

Oh noes! We might catch a case of the gay!

Straight people, better watch your spouse. Especially if you visit California. You'll leave more than your heart in San Francisco, I guess.

So, in summary: Congratulations to the state of California. You're setting a good example in the case for human rights.
