O Direto, é para servir os Homens e não o contrário

O Supremo Tribunal do Estado da Califórina, onde aquele rapaz que fazia filmes cheios de conteúdo é governador, fez jurisprudência sobre o casamento homosexual. É, portanto, inconstitucional vedar o casamento a pessoas do mesmo sexo.

«In contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation, and, more generally, that an individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights. We therefore conclude that in view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship, the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.»
