Fed Appeals-Court Properly Struck-Down CA's Anti-Gay-Marriage Dictate
The overturning of CA's anti-gay-marriage "Prop 8" by the Federal Appeals-court was the proper ruling because marriage is a private-contract among individuals that has nothing to do with anyone else. If a hetero-couple was surrounded by a million gays who were married to each other, it would not prevent those heteros from getting married or staying married (nor would it cause them to suddenly "turn homo"); in other words, unless some hetero can show the courts some kind of "injury", then there is no moral or legal reason to ever ban gay-marriage (which is a completely harmless activity that falls under the protected-status of "Individual Rights" in the American Pursuit-of-Happiness). Besides, mobs can't vote away the rights of individuals (which is un-American collectivism) and religions can't use gov't to monopolize things (which is a theocratic form of un-American statism).
