Chapter 213 Fate is not that potter's wheel
"I know that many people are concerned about my love life, and the rumors about my sexual orientation have never stopped. Today, I announce two things to everyone. The first thing, I, Jed Sherman I am a gay. I have never been ashamed of this identity, and I hope my friends and supporters will not be ashamed of this identity. The second thing, my close friend Mr. John Colombo and I decided to live together , we have filed an application for marriage registration with the Los Angeles City Government, and I hope our registration will go smoothly. As for our wedding and honeymoon plans, we will wait for the registration results to be announced.” After a long silence, Jed suddenly updated wrote a blog.Along with the release of this blog post, Jade also updated a photo.The photo is a group photo of Jed and John. The two are wearing white and black suits respectively. Jed has a delicate red rose pinned to his black suit, while John in a white suit holds a bouquet of pure white roses in his hand. lilies.
Although Jed Sherman is still on "rehabilitation vacation", he suddenly became the focus of media attention in the United States with a diary and a photo.In the new century, the United States has become more tolerant of homosexuality, but it is definitely not tolerant enough to allow two celebrities to use the media to publicize their "marriage".
As one of the three major weekly news magazines in the United States and also a conservative news publication, "American Report and World News" specially published a commentator article on this matter, thinking that Jed and John just used the "marriage" to hype to maintain Jed's life. It's just attention. American Report & World News believes that marriage is a very serious matter and should not be used for hype.At the same time, it also reminded Jed and John that neither the United States nor the states of the United States recognize "same-sex marriage".
Compared with the serious reports of "American Report and World News", many conservative publications and anti-gay magazines have reported this matter with various curse-style content.Some magazines believe that "we should tie Jed Sherman to a cross and wash away the shame he brought to mankind with fire."
When Michael Savage, the host of the msnbc TV news talk show "Savage Country", asked about the marriage of Jed and John during a telephone interview with the audience, Michael said: "These damn sodomites (the meaning of the word is Baidu, it belongs to homosexuality. One of the more humiliating titles) will definitely be punished by God, and I think AIDS is the best response to them! Yes, all gays will die of AIDS!"
Jed didn't see the msnbc live broadcast, but someone recorded it afterwards and provided it to Jed.Jed was surprised when he saw Michael Savage so swearingly cursing that homosexuals would die of AIDS, because he knew that this old man would be expelled from msnbc next year for criticizing homosexuality, but he did not expect that this time and space would actually be because of Own.
Michael Savage is not an ordinary talk show host, he is a talk show supporter who has been in the industry since 1994.His talk show called "Savage Country" has an average of 35 million listeners in the United States, with a maximum of 75 million listeners. He can be called a top-line radio host in the United States.Because of the popularity of "Savage Country" in the broadcasting industry, msnbc introduced this program to the TV station and broadcast it to the whole United States through live broadcast.
However, the program style of "Savage Nation" is not high. Savage won the love of the American people by advocating pseudo-scientific content such as "alien invasion" and "mysterious epidemic" in the program.Curiosity is not a unique psychology of the Chinese, and the curiosity of Americans is not inferior to that of people from any other country. Msnbc didn't expect Savage to criticize homosexuality in addition to talking about various occultism and conspiracy theories this time, especially cursing Jed Sherman "should die of AIDS" in the live broadcast.
Before Jed's lawyer came to the door, msnbc immediately announced that it would suspend the broadcast of "Savage Nation" indefinitely and announced the dismissal of Michael Savage.But Savage has indicated through his lawyer that he will sue msnbc and Jed Sherman for his persecution, and at the same time he is writing a book called "glory and dreams: my ten years of fighting homosexuality", he will be in This book reveals how gay conspirators headed by Jed gradually infiltrate every corner of the United States and subvert traditional American values.
In an interview with a magazine, Savage expressed worryingly, "If homosexuals can get married, what about heterosexuals? My grandchildren must be very careful when they go out on the street. They will be like girls. Faced with the possibility of being raped. With the increase of homosexuality, human reproduction will also have problems! God has issued his warning with AIDS, we should listen to God's will, and completely eliminate homosexuality to ensure the harmony of human society. That's right, homosexuals will definitely die from AIDS, this is God's will!"
Savage's words and the content of the interview were reprinted by many American media. At first, many people thought that Jed would come out and say something, but after waiting for a week or two, Jed did not respond.Until a reporter caught Jed shopping with John in a supermarket in Palm Beach, Jed replied with a smile: "I don't know who Mr. Savage is, and I haven't watched his show. His opinion It doesn't make any sense to me, so I won't respond to anything he says."
"But he cursed you in his program that you should die of AIDS!" the reporter continued teasing.
"Having AIDS has nothing to do with other people's curses, it has more to do with your sexual concepts and attitudes." Jed continued to smile, "I recently participated in a project of the CDC in Los Angeles, AIDS is nothing Damn, it's only about you. It doesn't matter if you are gay or straight, if you don't respect yourself and your partner, you will get AIDS. So what Mr. Savage said is an unscientific statement that we should not continue to spread in public It. If you have any questions about AIDS, you can call and ask the CDC in your area, and the experts there will be happy to share with you. In the end, I think AIDS itself is far less terrible than the ignorance of AIDS. Disease It can be cured, but ignorance cannot be cured. There is an old Chinese saying, 'There is no cure for brain damage'! Let's encourage Mr. Savage."
John couldn't help laughing on the sidelines when Jed was serious about hurting Michael Savage.Originally, the reporter didn't think Jed said anything, but after seeing John's expression, he found that Jed scolded Savage without a word of swearing.The important thing is that Savage can't say anything yet, otherwise the two pits of brain damage and stupidity are waiting for him to jump together.
The clips of Jed’s interview were quickly broadcast on the major news programs that night, especially Jed’s well-spoken Chinese words of “I can’t cure my brain” were thoughtfully transcribed into English by the major TV stations. Letters, lest Mr. Savage, who is not much at school, miss this sentence.However, Savage has been working in the media for many years. Of course, he knows that Jed's words are impeccable, so he can only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood.
On the contrary, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Medical Association and the American Foundation for AIDS Research praised Jed's talk, saying that Mr. Jed Sherman had conducted a good science education in front of the public. The Research Foundation even plans to invite Jade to participate in their public figure advocacy program.
The war of words in the media is still going on, but at this time the Los Angeles city government is having a headache. They didn't expect that they were really caught by Jed and John's lawyers.Although the "California Civil Code" and "California Family Law" clearly stipulate that "marriage is a civil contract of personal relationship between a man and a woman with the consent of both parties", the "Los Angeles City Marriage Registration Ordinance" in Los Angeles does not define "a man and a woman" as a marriage Registration is a required option, which means that the city of Los Angeles must accept and agree to the marriage registration of Jed and John.Although the Los Angeles city government can subsequently revoke the registration on the grounds that "the registration regulations violate relevant California laws", Jed and John can sue in the Los Angeles District Court for this.Although there is a high possibility of losing the case in the end, as more and more people sue, the pressure on the court will also increase.California doesn't want to give citizens a reason to sue, but Los Angeles sends that excuse to Jed and John.
The Los Angeles city government had to temporarily hire a lawyer to analyze the legal risks of this matter. The lawyer's suggestion was that this matter should be resolved at the state government level anyway, and the city government cannot delegate it to others.Therefore, the Los Angeles Marriage Registry delivered Jed and John's marriage certificate to Jed and John within 24 working days, but soon the Los Angeles City Government declared the marriage certificate invalid as quickly as possible.There was no medical treatment beyond the Los Angeles City Government. Less than [-] hours after the invalidation ruling was issued, the Los Angeles City District Court received the indictment of "Jed and John v. Los Angeles City Government".
"This is indeed a landmark event. Mr. Jed Sherman and Mr. John Colombo are very sorry and angry at the actions of the Los Angeles City Government." Spokesperson Cindy Gray spoke in front of reporters, "Since The local law in Los Angeles does not oppose same-sex marriage. Why do we have to abide by the California law? According to the California Constitution, only when the city of Los Angeles has no relevant regulations, you must refer to the relevant laws of California! Here I not only want to ask, Los Angeles Is the city government elected by the people of Los Angeles or appointed by the state of California?"
Cindy Gray deserves to be a person engaged in professional political public relations. In a few words, this matter has been elevated to the height of the California Constitution and the legitimacy of the Los Angeles City Government. Therefore, this matter is not only reported by the local media in Los Angeles. The "Los Angeles Times" The lawsuit was also reported on the front page.Soon, leading national publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Globe, and The Christian Monitor joined in the report, and they became the leading media outlets in major U.S. newspapers. A hot topic of discussion on a network's news commentary program.
Since the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution also stipulates that "powers not granted to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved by each state or by the people." Therefore, many people are discussing a problem, the Los Angeles city government to the state of California Does the government's compromise violate the founding spirit of the United States of "Owned by the People, by the People, and For the People"?This issue soon became a national discussion. Not only politicians participated in it, but also various constitutional scholars and lawyers joined the discussion. For a while, Jed and John's marriage became the focus of national discussion.
