California Gay Marriage Ruling

So, you've probably heard by now that the California Supreme Court ruled that the recently passed law prohibiting gay marriage violated the California Constitution.

You know what the reaction that I saw from gay people? Happiness. Honest excitement and joy.

Gaiety, for lack of a better word.

Sorry, this is supposed to be a serious point:

California conservatives have already turned in a petition for a November ballot to add an amendment banning same sex marriage to the CA constitution.

Why would conservatives want to make so many people unhappy, especially since, as social conservatives, they shouldn't care about what gay people do? Are Republicans anti-joy? Are they anti-happiness? Are they pro-suffering?

This doesn't affect you, conservatives. Just let my people be happy.
