We attended the Conversation at Skyline Church. Not a voice was raised in anger, judgment, animosity, bigotry or disrespect. It is the first event we have witnessed where 2 sides expressed their opinions without hate. 1000 people sat quietly & heard two distinctly different points of view. I found the pro-gay union argument specifically geared to sway people on a sentimental basis, without any information to support the impact on everyone else in society who will be affected by this redefinition: No data or research at all to support that this change is for the good of anyone except the 3% of the population who embrace a homosexual lifestyle. Everyone is entitled to a committed relationship with a consenting adult. But the CONSEQUENCES of Redefining ‘MARRIAGE”, and how YOUR LIFE will change are not even brought up.

Cooper goes on offense

5:00 PM PST (court adjourned)
Cooper’s rebuttal:
If the judge has an interest in the outcome, he has an obligation to reveal it.
It was the plaintiffs who continually put forth evidence that 64% of gays in CA, in committed long-term relationships, would want to get married. Hence, it is the fact that Walker was in a relationship, not the fact that he is gay, that merits disclosure at least, and possible recusal. Read more…

Therese Stewart:
A seal order doesn’t preclude the parties from revisiting the question of whether the seal should be opened. She seems to think that the Proponents shouldn’t have relied on this promise so seriously.
Rhinehart: the potential for broadcast has been eliminated.
Stewart seems to say that rule only pertains to media coverage immediately of the court proceedings, basing this only on the letter by Judge Kozinski. Read more…
