LAT touts gay marriage

The LAT argues in an editorial this morning that the California Supreme Court was right in holding that same-sex marriages are legal in California. Tradition has no significance, the LAT argues. Things have changed since 2000 when voters passed Proposition 22 defining marriage as a union of one man with one woman, the LAT says. Don't support a constitutional amendment, the LAT argues.

But a court, even a supreme one, can't change by decree what has always been. Marriage is between one man and one woman. A family consists of a husband and wife with children. Two men or two women living together does not constitute a family even if they're raising children. This can't be changed by judicial fiat.
