Groups barred from gay-marriage suits

[question everything]

SAN FRANCISCO – A state judge yesterday declined to allow gay marriage opponents to intervene in lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of a California law defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

The Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Alliance Defense Fund sought to inject themselves into the case to argue against gay marriage.

San Francisco County Superior Court Judge James Warren declined the request, saying the groups would not be harmed however the litigation ends.

In 2000, 4.6 million Californians approved Proposition 22 defining marriage as a union of a woman and man. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom sued this year to overturn the law, alleging the state constitution would permit a gay marriage.

1. I love this line:

"San Francisco County Superior Court Judge James Warren declined the request, saying the groups would not be harmed however the litigation ends."

Ah, but if gay marriage is legalized, the entire population of the United States will be simultaneously struck by lightning! Didn't think of that, did ya? Stupid commie...
