Bastards:
Sponsors of the California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage are seeking to nullify thousands of marriages between gay and lesbian couples performed after the state Supreme Court ruled them constitutional.

"Proposition 8's brevity is matched by its clarity," one of the briefs read. "There are no conditional clauses, exceptions, exemptions, or exclusions: 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.'

" ... Its plain language encompasses both pre-existing and later-created same-sex (and polygamous) marriages, whether performed in California or elsewhere. With crystal clarity, it declares that they are not valid or recognized in California."
Because nothing says Christian love or the sanctity of marriage like tearing existing marriages apart.

One of my LJ friends was born with female genitalia, married a male with male genitalia (opposite-sex marriage), and popped out a bunch of kids. He then went through surgery and hormone treatment, and now has a thicker beard than his husband. This is going to cause chaos with health insurance and dozens of other things for the kids.
