Judges are Supposed to be Above Personal Bigotry

I'm gutted.

There's no way in hell -- no WAY -- that the California Supreme Court would have upheld Prop 8 if it had been the majority trying to ban something like interracial marriage. The only explanation for their decision today is that they, themselves, are homophobic bigots who personally believe the majority is in the right on this one. And that's just an immoral basis to make a decision on, and wrong.

I'm too old to be allowed to emmigrate on my own; any Canadians (of any gender, I'm quite flexible) out there looking for a spouse? (&hearts &hearts &hearts Canadia -- especially B.C., which is gloriously beautiful. If maybe a little cold.)

WTF is wrong with them? I cannot believe the state of my birth cannot get this right.

I now live in beautiful BC and am (finally) a citizen here. I am already married, but even if I weren't, Canada does not grant citizenship to spouses. A spouse would still have to apply for citizenship. Weird, huh?

The US doesn't automatically grant citizenship to spouses, either. They're not prone to kicking them out, but they could be a long-term resident alien.
