Not everybody likes to go out to a lesbian or gay bar or nightclub in your area to try and meet people, so we will try to cover the full gambit.
Plus we will cover all of the best LGBT pride events and meet ups we know about in this city. LGBT online dating is also really growing so we will be mentioning a few options for that as well.
What we have here is a judge who is laying out a ruling saying that there is no world in which this is valid, so we are not going to waste our time. Professor Jessica Levinson of Loyola Law School said: “I am a little surprised because of the tradition, in California in particular, that we wait until measures are passed before ruling on their constitutionality. That made this week’s ruling somewhat unexpected and a possible precedent. When Harris filed her request asking for the court to intervene experts questioned whether she had legal standing to do so, although the violent nature of the proposal made it an extreme case. Historically California judges have been hesitant to step into the initiative process, viewing it as the right of citizens to present ideas. Harris filed a motion earlier this spring asking to be excused from moving the Sodomite Suppression Act to the signature-gathering phase, where it would have needed to collect more than 350,000 supporters in 180 days to make it on to the November ballot. The attorney general is then charged with creating a title and 100-word summary for the measure so that signatures can be gathered. In California any citizen can file a proposed ballot measure for a $200 fee – although state legislators are in the process of increasing the cost.
My office will continue to fight for the rights of all Californians to live free from hatred and intolerance.” “I applaud the court’s decision to block its title and summary.
Harris, who is running for the US Senate, said: “This proposed act is the product of bigotry, seeks to promote violence, is patently unconstitutional and has no place in a civil society. It called for “any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head, or by any other convenient method”, and forbid gays and lesbians and anyone supporting gay rights from holding public office. Huntington Beach lawyer Matt McLaughlin filed the proposal in February but did not appear in court to defend it and has maintained silence on the matter. He added that forcing the state attorney general, Kamala Harris, to prepare the measure to collect voter signatures would be “inappropriate, waste public resources, generate unnecessary divisions among the public and tend to mislead the electorate”.
