As lawyer David Boies points out to CBS News, Perry vs. Schwarzenegger dealt a serious blow to the junk science of the ex-gay movement.
Challenged to produce empirical evidence of the inferiority and changeability of homosexual orientation, the Christian Right defenders of Proposition 8 failed — because their “science” doesn’t exist.

Wow! I love David Boies, and I cannot believe how deliberate his words are, and I wish, so greatly wish to see a debate between Boies and Perkins. It would be a flawless fatality of Perkins’ arguments, and I would love to see it!
Tony Perkins is a lying sack of skin. I don’t know how he can bald faced sit up there and lie about how Walker came to his ruling.
The Prop. 8 defenders HAD nothing! The showed up empty handed and with NO evidence to support their claims. Walker didn’t ignore anything. The proof of that is the 138 page decision and how it was written. Walker covered everything and it’s really a template for the other courts to go by.
The other judges that overturned Prop. 22 weren’t gay, and they came to the same decision as Walker. Seriously, Perkins is truly ridiculous.
I can see why Tony Perkins said that the Prop 8 decision left him speechless – it unmasked his lies.
If Phony Perkins is a such an expert on marriage, why didn’t he testify at the Prop8 trial? The same reason almost no one else did – because of that little oath problem and having to submit to cross examination. While Phony’s god views lying as acceptable, our court system does not. It’s another example of how the secular world has higher moral standards.
Funny that it’s called Perry vs. Schwarzenegger seeing as how Arnold isn’t really trying to defend prop 8.
