The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage being heard in San Francisco is that the federal judge who will decide the case, Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, is himself gay.
Many gay politicians in San Francisco and lawyers who have had dealings with Walker say the 65-year-old jurist, appointed to the bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1989, has never taken pains to disguise - or advertise - his orientation.

Riiiiiight.
Hello Frisco!!
San Frisky.
Outrageous. Should’ve recused himself. Seems like it should be overturned on that basis alone.
Sure it was a non-issue /s
I’ll support anyone who wants to build a mosque anywhere in California...as many as they’d like.
Finding an impartial judge could be difficult, have
any goats passed the bar?
If it’s a “nonissue”, why don’t we let convicted murderers try homicide cases?
Yeah, the homo judge was just following the law when he cavalierly dismissed the votes of millions of Californians.
Yeah, he’s not a lying sack of shit.
the same compassionate conservative who appointed David Souter to the bench.
It would have been a non-issue in a case concerning
sea lions in the children’s pool in La Jolla. This
case concerned whether gays can marry. A gay
judge has an axe to grind on the subject. His
opinion has little to do with the law. It was
entirely leveraged on his visceral concern about
“superiority”. That’s going to get slapped down
like annoying mosquito on appeal.

Would the various commentators who consider his gayness an interesting but essentially irrelevant fact feel the same way if the judge was say, a deacon in the Church of Latter Day Saints with the same judging record?
Nope, I didn't think so.
Ya think Rush or Hannity will touch this one? Naaa.
A sexual degenerate judge has a degenerate mind. But what would we expect from the left coast?
Judge Walker is an outstanding judge, one of the best I have been before. He is highly intelligent, thoughtful, pragmatic and civil to parties and counsel. You could not ask for a better judge. Ignorant speculation about his motives and ideological leanings ignores the fact that the state failed to produce any real evidence or argument to establish a rational basis for the law other than the “wlll of the people.” The state got out lawyered at nearly every turn.
Well, sure it’s a non-issue.
It wouldn’t matter if a pedophile judge was ruling on a child pornography case would it?
They did not hate the Federal government, and never met an apparatchik they didn't like.
They let the marxists and sex perverts within gain a formidable presence.
The culling that is coming will be met with much resistance, but it is imperative that the culling be done, or the Republic will fall.
