Will of the People Shmill of the Smeeple

City Council of the People's Republic of Davis approve resolution urging the State of California to ignore Prop. 22 and officially recognize "gay marriages".

"I have the deepest respect for those of you who hold this as a religious belief, that marriage is between a man and woman," Mayor Susie Boyd told the public. "... (However,) I think that the civil rights and the legal issues are really what we need to grapple with tonight, and marriage provides certain protections and benefits ... that are people's rights."

How Cuomo-esque. She respects people of traditional religious faith so much that she is willing to attack them by pushing for further state recognition of intrinsically disordered conduct and minimizing the institution of marriage to one of material and legal benefits.
