California Lawmakers Consider Gay Marriage
A bill to change the definition of marriage is scheduled to be considered Tuesday by the California Assembly Judiciary Committee.
Sabrina Lockhart, a spokeswoman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, told The Associated Press the governor’s position hasn’t changed and a veto is planned. Schwarzenegger has said the bill violates Proposition 22, an initiative approved by California voters in 2000 that protects traditional marriage.

Bigamy, adultery, child porn, polygamy, gay marriage, secret lives, and double lives are all related. I found this comment and it is worth paraphrasing as I was harrased and abused by a Marin County music teacher who is a crossdresser into bondage, who now is recently accused of bigamy/polygamy, forgery of one wife’s married name, homeowners insurance fraud by having homeowners insurance in his and one of his wives names, all the wife with the CA Confidential Marriage Certificate! A common tool to avoid bigamy charges. Ca state law allows Confidential Marriages with a minimum of fuss: no marriage license, no blood test, no three-day waiting period and, best of all, no public record that the marriage ever took place. growing numbers of couples are using the law to avoid red tape and keep word of the marriages from parents and friends. In 1972, only 532 such weddings were performed in Los Angeles County and adjacent Orange County. Last year it was 12,212. ‘It’s one of the greatest laws,’ says Edie Steinmetz, owner of the Doves of Happiness Wedding Chapel in Inglewood, a leader in the state’s $700,000-a-year secret-marriage industry. ‘It allows a lot of people to get married who otherwise would not be able to’—including the already married. Couples fill in a confidential marriage form, which is filed with the county clerk and is then unavailable for inspection by anyone. That makes it easy for applicants’ intent on bigamy. Says William St. John, Orange County clerk: ‘There is nothing on the form that requires a couple to say how long they have been living together, if they had a previous marriage or divorce, and if the divorce is finalized.’

This College of Marin teacher also has a California wife in Marin County, just north of San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the most affluent counties in the nation, with a median home price of $529,000. Home to U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, it’s also one of the most liberal. Coup d’etat Prop 22 (14 simple words: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California”) passed with more than 60 percent of the vote.
Thoughts
When one is married to more than one that’s bigamy, a felony. When one is having an affair while with another, that’s adultery.
“A guy who’s got the chutzpah to try to pull the wool over somebody’s eyes. That’s a good definition of a bigamist,” said University of Cincinnati clinical psychiatry professor Linda Chernus. “One (spouse) is hard enough,” joked Chernus, who has researched bigamists and believes generally they have such low self-esteem that they marry multiple spouses to compensate with a sense of “grandiosity.” “They need to control women, to keep secrets and keep autonomy so no one knows what’s going on inside of them,” Chernus said. “There may also be some underlying insecurity. “(Bigamists/Polygamists) have a sense of invincibility that they can get away with this. They think they can get away with anything,” she said.
This Marin County teacher’s own 25 year version of Crazy Love, (yes, the film is out) the consensus amount mental health professionals is that the vast majority of cross-dressing men develop a distinct second personality. You develop and live two lives. One secret life knows all about you and still loves you, the bigamist/polygamist. Another life is your public mask who knows only the mask, one wife. That’s why Jimmy Olson was Superman’s sidekick.
