I am adamantly support legal protection for gay couples. Nonetheless, I also strongly oppose gay marriage—and my views are premised entirely on secular grounds. Religious doctrines per se have next to nothing to do with my position. Marriage is primarily about raising children. Everything else is of secondary importance. The state has an obligation to protect the institution of marriage.
The California Supreme Court, as a practical matter, has done an enormous favor on behalf of John McCain and the Republicans Party. I am still not sure if McCain can capture California in November, but Obama will now have to spend considerable time and money in the state. He can no longer take it for granted.
