Get a life department

Big shock. Christian fundies continue to be disturbingly gay-obsessed. Meanwhile the LA State Supreme Court has reinstated the recently passed Louisiana Hate Amendment. As Ricky points out, however, gay rights groups are calling attention to the fact that the law still recognizes mutual property contracts between unmarried couples. The effect is that the status quo for many gay couples and other unmarried co-habitants is largely unaffected by this amendment. As a result, we have placed in our constitution, a bit of meaningless symbolism which exists only to declare the social inferiority of a specific portion of the populous. Way to go, Louisiana.

Somewhat related, this looks wrong. The court ruled that oral sex is a "crime against nature" only if performed by a prostitute?
