Just last week the Orwellian "Human Rights" Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Christian Horizons, a charity that runs homes for developmentally disabled adults, engaged in illegal discrimination when it tried to ensure that its employees were practicing Christians who accepted Christian sexual teaching on adultery, fornication and homosexual sex. For the reasons discussed below, the court added, "we conclude that sexual orientation should be viewed as a suspect classification for purposes of the California Constitution's equal protection clause and that statutes that treat persons differently because of their sexual orientation should be subjected to strict scrutiny under this constitutional provision.
The people and their court have spoken. In California, marriage is between a man and a woman. The California Supreme Court voted 6-1 Tuesday to reject an argument that said a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage violated the California Constitution's equal protection clause. Justices said voters have the right to change their constitution.
Same-sex marriage, Pius XII, Vatican II A SOUND DECISION As one of the "self-described Catholics [who are] more accepting of homosexuality than members of many other religious groups," and as an academic who has taught constitutional law for three decades, I found the June 20 editorial ("Marriage, California Style") deeply disappointing. While the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Roe rests not on a clear constitutional premise but on a judicially constructed "right of privacy," the marriage case in California has solid underpinning in the equal-protection clause of the state Constitution.
The opponents to this proposition argue that in a supportive family situation in all likelihood a child/young woman would have the courage to talk with a supportive family member, be it the father and mother, an older sister, or cousin and inform that person what they are going through. The opponents' argument is that they are protecting that child/young woman who cannot turn to a supportive family member and faces the danger of self abortion, back alley abortion, family abuse, or suicide. It is a state law that minor children are entitled to receive, without parental consent or notification, the same types of medical care for a pregnancy that are available to an adult. In 1987 the State Legislature enacted a law that required consent from a parent or court in regards to an abortion by ...

To hear them describe it, defenders of traditional marriage during last year's trial on California's Proposition 8 felt like the visiting team in a game with a hometown referee. It was an open secret that District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker was gay, although he had never publicly acknowledged it. Under the circumstances, challenging his objectivity in a case on the constitutionality of "one man, one woman" marriage carried substantial risks, such as angering the judge or being accused of "outing" a public figure, without any promise of success.
