PROPONENTS OF PROP 8 SEEK TO INVALIDATE GAY MARRIAGES AND MARRIAGES THAT PRODUCED GAY OFFSPRING
By R J Shulman
SAN FRANCISCO – (PTSD News) - The sponsors of Proposition 8 have asked the California Supreme court to not only declare invalid the 18,000 same sex marriages that took place before the law banning them passed, but to invalidate any marriages which produced gay children. “"Proposition 8's brevity is matched by its clarity." reads the brief co-written by Kenneth Starr, dean of Pepperdine University's law school and the former independent counsel who investigated President Bill Clinton. “Anything same sex is simply illegal and any married couple who has a gay child clearly has a marriage that is no longer recognized by the people of California as that child could seek to have an illegal gay marriage.” Starr’s brief stops short of calling for the nullification of marriages of people who have gay friends, but does call for marriages to be voided if any songs from Liza Minelli were used in the marriage ceremony.

This suit was in response to three law suits that were filed to invalidate Proposition 8 as being unconstitutional. The Supreme Court could hear arguments as soon as March.
