I didn't come out of the closet to my fellow Republicans until June 2003, 2-3 days after the Supreme Court handed down Lawrence v. Texas. County Executive Joe Ortwerth was speaking out against that ruling at a meeting of St. Charles County Pachyderms, and I raised my hand, and said something like, I'm one of the few gay people in the country who is NOT popping a cork over this ruling. I've studied a lot about constitutional law, especially about the 14th Amendment, and I'm absolutely disgusted with judicial activism like this. I've learned that constitutional law is a lot like a box of choc'lits; ya never know what yer gonna git.
Sorry but a gay man going to a Republican meeting and proclaiming “JUDICIAL ACTIVISM” after a pro-gay ruling is kind of sad.
