By now you've probably heard
May. 15th, 2008 06:18 pmThe California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in California. NPR had a report on it. At the end of the report they did the standard quotes from both sides thing.
The quote from the gay rights activist was (roughly "I just text-messaged my partner and asked her to marry me! She said yes!"
The quote from the anti-gay activist was (roughly) "we were very surprised; the legally right decision would have been to uphold the lower court ruling."
My reactions were "Oh, how sweet." And "Dude, you got nothin'. Admit you got nothing and move on; you're just embarrassing yourself"
Because after "She said yes!" let's face it, there's nothing of similar poignancy that the other side can offer.
