Hyde_Pierce Whaa Whaa
After keeping his private life out of the spotlight for years, David Hyde Pierce has announced his marriage to longtime partner Brian Hargrove.
The former "Frasier" star spoke candidly in an appearance on ABC's "The View." Wearing a wedding band, Hyde Pierce revealed they tied the knot "very quietly" in California on Oct. 24. Full Story
Perhaps if people like Mr. Pierce had spoken out sooner and been a bit more, shall we say brave, prop 8 would not have passed in the first place. I understand everyone 'comes out' in their own time and way, but don't prattle on now in the media.
If you felt so strongly you would have made your views known sooner and perhaps influenced people BEFORE proposition 8 passed.
I have no sympathy.

California Supreme Court Got It Right
There is no doubt in my mind that most other gays will disagree with me, however, I think the California supreme court got it right when they upheld the ban on gay marriage.
I'm not against gay marriage, but too many times, the public and politicians rely on the courts to make the difficult decisions. This happens because people are generally lazy and most politicians have no guts. This gay marriage ban is a perfect example.
In true democratic fashion the California populace went to the polls last fall and voted on the now famous proposition 8. The result of that vote was to ban gay marriage. After the vote all the gays cried foul and said that isn't what California realy wants, its just that enough people didn't get out and vote!
Well, I say boo hoo to you. This brings us right back to the generally lazy public. If they really felt so strongly about this issue and really wanted gay marriage, then proposition 8 would not have passed. The public has spoken and the supreme court has done the right thing by upholding the democratic process.
If the majority of Californians really want to allow gay marriage, then a new proposition will be put forward and a majority will vote to allow it.
Its really that simple.
