Judge Rules No Vote for Gay Marriage in DC

The Washington Post reports that a D.C. Superior Court judge ruled yesterday that same-sex marriage opponents do not have a right to call a vote on same-sex marriage in DC. This is a huge victory for gay marriage advocates and means marriages in DC can begin by early March.

According to the Post article, in the 23-page ruling, Judge Judith N. Macaluso affirmed a D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics decision that city law disallows the ballot proposal because it would promote discrimination against gay men and lesbians. Macaluso also concluded that previous court decisions outlawing same-sex marriage in the District are no longer valid.

However, "Christian" Bishop Harry Jackson and his attorneys said Thursday that they will appeal the ruling. Of course they will. This important issue should be their main focus. There are no other bigger problems in the world. That is called sarcasm.
