Yep! And his opinion is quite compelling in terms of an appeal.
Now that I have been able to hear part of the decision, it is quite amazing that this judge (H.W. Bush appointee) had such clarity in the fact that our rights are not up for voting, they simply are. And his bringing to light that marriage has never been based upon a couple's ability or intention to pro-create.
Much more in the opinion about gender TODAY, not yesterday! All 3 of the key arguments presented are quite clearly determined by the opinion. A big one was that same-sex marriage does not in any fashion cause harm to heterosexual marriage.
138 page opinion..... but, oh, I want to read every word!
