The California Ban on divorce
I understand that this is a satirical effort to show that the ban on marriage sounds ridiculous when put in this light. And some of the arguments like it threatens the traditional marriage are a bit silly, but to put it into a bill in California is a little over the top. I support gay marriage. I believe people should do what they want in there personal lives an the government should not step in. Just my opinion.
I fully support divorce only when there are no other options. I blog about divorce, so that I can help people through a difficult time in their lives.

The Califonia Ban on Divorce
I agree with the previous comment re. the satire involved. I think that what happened with the ban on same sex marriages flies in the face of human rights.
I do also believe that some form of legal union is necessary for same sex couples but I am not so sure that it needs to be marriage.
