SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Veteran California pro-family leader Randy Thomasson, an official party in the consolidated marriage cases and president of Campaign for Children and Families, a statewide pro-family leadership organization, issued the following response to today's California Supreme Court ruling licensing homosexual "marriages":

"On a 4-3 vote, the California Supreme Court has destroyed the civil institution of marriage between a man and a woman, and law-biding Americans must condemn it in the strongest terms.  This arrogant judicial activism took 121 pages of contorted logic to explain and is no surprise coming from this San Francisco-based court.  By bowing down to homosexual activists and the rebel city of San Francisco, the California Supreme Court has exchanged the rule of law for the rule of unbridled power to destroy all that is good and sacred.  However, the terrible example of homosexual 'weddings' should be short-lived.  This extremely bad ruling will certainly spur Californians to vote in November to overrule the judges and protect marriage licenses for a man and a woman in the California Constitution.  In the meantime, Governor Schwarzenegger should resist any temptation to sign any bill opposing the people's vote on marriage.  This terrible opinion authored by Chief Justice Ron George makes him the chief target of California voters who know that marriage is only for a man and woman. George is up for reelection in 2010."

Today in Sacramento at 11:20 a.m., Campaign for Children and Families will hold a news conference to publicly respond to the court decision. The news conference will be on the 10th Street sidewalk on the west side of the State Capitol Building.
