What The Hell?

Those in the know are aware that Bloody Nib Manor is in the state of California. The Manor was established in in the Golden State back in the 1930s when the Baroness moved here from Misery. We consider ourselves as Prunies and we remember when the state and the population of the state was uninfected by the East Coast sensibility that has since the 1960s.
Well, to get to the point, the Supreme Court of the State of California has declared that a state measure voted upon the populace to ban gay marriage is unconstitutional. The result of the Court's declaration was a bunch of public prancing and dancing by gays and women gays (why call them lesbians when heterosexual woman are called heterosexuals, as are straight men, instead of being referred to as, oh I don't know, Penelopeists {read Homer's Odyssey if you're clueless}) saying that they'll get "married" when they have the first chance.
The mayor of Los Angeles, has always seemed to be a little light on his feet, if you know what this writer means, says that he will perform gay "weddings" when he gets the first chance.
This is the mayor of a city where the streets are almost undrivable in places due to pot holes on the street, one is hesitant to venture into certain neighborhoods for fear of being mugged or shot and the city is so far into debt that any respectable man would shoot himself in the head from the shame that his incompetence has wrought.
Is there a problem with priorities here?
Meanwhile, the Governor of the state, a bad actor in both the movies and as a governor, has stated that he will work against any new proposition to ban gay "marriage." He states that there are more important problems in the state than gay "marriage." This doesn't make any sense. The proposition that will appear on the November ballot will be voted on by the citizens of the state. The governor not assembly nor state senate has any voice in the matter beyond their "influence" with the voters. If the state has more important matters to address than gay "marriage" why is Conan the Barbarian talking about it? Why is he not addressing the budget deficit? And he just doesn't seem to get the fact that if gay "marriage" is legalized in the state the state will receive fewer tax dollars simply because a number of homosexuals, of whatever flavour,, will be filing jointly instead of as individuals. In other words. gays being "married" results in fewer tax dollars, let alone the undermining of the moral fabric of the society.
Ain't identity politics great?
