This development in California is rather disturbing. Any bill to legalize homosexual “marriage” is disturbing of course, but this one is beyond that. This one really does show the extent that these activists will go to force us to accept their immorality. According to the article, the California state constitution does not allow the legislature to modify statues that were passed by referendum. In 2000, just the sort of definition of a marriage as being between a man and a woman that other states have made constitutional amendments was passed by sixty-one percent of the California electorate. So this new bill allowing homosexual “marriages” is rather blatantly unconstitutional.
