America's unique brand of identity politics is simply 21st century cultural Marxism. Karl would be elated that race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation are leveraged in yet another struggle against the white bourgeoisie's relentless "accumulation of wealth in private hands, [and] the formation and increase of capital."
From the Weekly Standard we read:
In order to make sure gays and lesbians are adequately represented on the judicial bench, the state of California is requiring all judges and justices to reveal their sexual orientation. The announcement was made in an internal memo sent to all California judges and justices.
"[The Administrative Office of the Courts] is contacting all judges and justices to gather data on race/ethnicity, gender identification, and sexual orientation," reads an email sent by Romunda Price of the Administrative Office of the Courts.
"Providing complete and accurate aggregate demographic data is crucial to garnering continuing legislative support for securing critically needed judgeships," Price writes.
Philip R. Carrizosa of the executive office of communications at the Judicial Council of California, the Administrative Office of the Courts, confirmed the authenticity of Price's email regarding gender identification and sexual orientation to THE WEEKLY STANDARD.
"The original bill, which simply provided for 50 new judgeships, was amended in the Assembly in August 2006, to address concerns that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was not appointing enough women and minorities to the bench. In 2011, Senator Ellen Corbett [the Democratic majority leader in the California State Senate] expanded the reporting requirement to include gender identification and sexual orientation."

So now there is a requirement that, to remain a judge in the Golden State, our appointed and elected jurists must declare their sexual orientation. Pretty damn intrusive, don’t you think? What you do in the privacy of your home has become the domain of the State of California.
Where are the progressive civil libertarians on this issue? Their silence speaks volumes about their real agendas, which have little to with civil rights, and everything to do with expanding the government’s control over every aspect of our lives.
There may be a surprise!
I think this is a way to get the few remaining conservatives off the bench. Essentially, they have to either declare that they’re straight - which would then call into question their ability to rule ‘impartially’ on any gay-related case (per gay reasoning), or they will lie and say they’re gay - which then destroys them with the base (and yes, there is still a very conservative base in CA, albeit shrinking by the day).
I hope there is a category for “Tri-sexual”.
You know - animal, vegetable, mineral. Or perhaps “I’ll tri anything for sex.”
Fascist morons. I will never set foot in that state again and I applaud everyone who leaves to find freedom in another state. Just don’t bring those kooky ideas with you.
My wife calls me a hobosexual, a bum lay
And when they are not satisfied with the truthfulness of the responses... What’s the next step? Don’t tell me! I shudder to think.
For a moment, I thought this was The Onion or Semi-satire News.
You need a couple of the blue pills sounds like.
Is it Claire Wolfe Time yet?
Way to many of them on the court already. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put people in judge positions who have the absolute worst judgement on earth, should be tried and committed for life!
Wait till Sharia comes to California. Some of them are going to rue the day they supported this.

Uhhh, once would have been enough, I get it. ;)
I also hope and Pray every day, that will never happen.
WTF is gender identification?
I mean really how hard is this! Take you clothes off stand in front of a mirror and look. Even idiots can do that.........
Are you saying Gray Davis was in the closet?
Not that it would surprize me, but I had no idea...
If alternative sexual preference is a right, then the EEOC already requires this information to be provided by all state, city and local governments, as well as all public and private businesses.
I think that, according to politically correct ideology, that you are “hetero-normative” if you think that there are only two sexes, male and female. We’re supposed to think outside the box on these issues.
And that’s where “gender identification” comes into the picture. You can identify as some other gender, regardless of what you see when naked.
Remember the recent Girl Scout story, in which the Girl Scouts were taking anybody “who identifies as a girl”, and took a 7 year old boy as a member? That line of thinking is part of this trend to think creatively about gender.
