The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

This nonsense had to take place in California.

When Ron Garber divorced his wife, Melinda Kirkwood, he felt that he no longer had to continue to pay her $1,250 each month in alimony. After all, Kirkwood had moved on with her life. She was in a new relationship, "With Another Woman." She had even taken her "Girlfriend's Last Name."

According to the nutty laws in California, alimony stops when an ex-spouse remarries.  Well, you can not legally marry someone of the same sex in California. However, when you register your relationship under the state's domestic partnership law, it is tantamount to being married. At least this is the view of the Attorney General in California. Gays who have entered into a relationship that is "registered" have the same rights as a heterosexual couple who are legally married.

But, an Orange County judge told Garber "Not So Fast." The judge told him that he would have to continue to fork over the monthly alimony checks. The judge said that a registered partnership is simply "cohabitation" and should not to be construed as marriage. Garber says he plans an immediate appeal.

Meantime, the California Supreme Court is considering whether to legalize same-sex marriage. You heard right, the California Supreme Court is thinking about making gay marriage legal. Forget how the voters feel about this volatile issue. Simply do as the Supreme Court in Massachusetts did, "Make The Law, Do Not Interpret It."

Have you noticed that little by little, we as Americans are losing our rights to those on the left. If they don't like something, they run to the nearest court and file suit. There will always be a sympathetic judge waiting to give these whiners what they want. But, what about the majority? How is it that a small segment of our society, those living the gay lifestyle, can undo an institution that has been around for more than five thousand years? I'm speaking of a marriage between a man and a woman. Gays have been able to accomplish so much in such a short time because of our corrupt judicial system.

We have a bunch of people, namely judges, who are in some cases appointed to lifetime positions. They don't have to answer to anyone, least of all, "John Q. Public." These maverick judges have no respect for "We The People." Before they are fitted for their black robes, they have an agenda in place. Once they are sworn in, they anoint themselves as "God." The people can go to hell!

I believe the Orange County Judge who ruled against Ron Garber did so to further the homosexual agenda. Because of this ruling, lawyers for same sex marriage say they are keeping a sharp eye on this case. They say they will use this case in their argument to the California Supreme Court, citing gays and heterosexual couples should be united under one system, "Marriage."

Not surprisingly, the San Francisco chief deputy city attorney, Therese Stewart said the Garber ruling along with other so-called gaps in the domestic partnership law, "highlight the irrationality of having a separate, unequal scheme for same sex partners." Last year in California, the Court of Appeals upheld the state's ban on same sex marriage. The court said it was up to the legislature to decide if gays could legally wed.

Again, I must ask, what about the views of the people in California? In 1977, voters in California approved a referendum which stated a marriage was between a man and a woman. In 2000, voter once again said in approving proposition 22 that, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." The vote on this proposition wasn't even close. Voters approved the measure by a vote of 61.4% to 38.6%.

Instead of leaving well enough alone, California voters try to play nice-nice. They passed the Domestic Partnership Bill in 1999. And in 2003, they strengthened this legisaltion which virtually gave homosexuals all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage.

In a sense, California voters created this monster by giving it legs to stand on. They should have known that the homosexual community would not be happy, until they had the same rights as heterosexuals.

Gays love to say that their plight is a "Civil Rights" issue. That is insulting to African-Americans and other people of color who have had their rights abridged in this country. Black people "Do Not Choose To Be Black." The empirical evidence is overwhelming that "Gays Choose Their Lifestyle."

If Gays are given the right to legally marry, "All Hell Will Break Loose." By that I mean, those who practice polygamy will say that they are being discriminated against. Second and third cousins will petition the courts to get married. Sounds ludicrous you say? No more than people of the same sex saying "They Are In Love, And Wish To Marry."

This tinkering with the natural order of things will one day come back to haunt us. We will no longer be here, but this lunancy will one day haunt our great-grand children and their children. And they will thank us for our taciturn behavior!
