Because possession is nine tenths of the law so he has to possess a lawyer.
Now, is there a law against sin? Has the Supreme Court ruled that sin is unconstitutional? Watch out. They're setting a dangerous precedent They'll be coming to AF next. Sinners beware! God is coming with Johnny Cochran and Perry Mason at his right hand.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I know there are bigger problems with what she wrote, but you all seem to have covered all the other ones already
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin

Looks like the case has been dismissed with prejudice (legal-speak for GTFO of my court, you kook).

An ATL story on this development:
Surprisingly, Lawsuit Against ‘All Homosexuals’ Summarily Dismissed
The main part of the Judge's decision is as follows:
"The Court will not give the plaintiff an opportunity to amend her complaint in this matter because it is obvious that amendment would be futile. Even liberally construed, the plaintiff does not set forth any discernible claim for relief over which this Court has jurisdiction. This Court is not the place to seek opinions regarding theological matters; this particular forum is closed and the case will be dismissed." (emphasis in original!)
The technical legal reason he got rid of this is Subject Matter Jurisdiction, which says that federal courts can only hear and adjudicate certain kinds of disputes (ie, class actions, claims against the federal government, claims between people from different states for really high amounts). The Judge noted that she didn't say anything about citizenship, didn't ask for any money damages... didn't really state any reason why this claim is something federal courts are allowed to hear.
This is really good judging, I think. Rather than let it languish on his desk for a week or a month, with everybody knowing what's going to happen, he stopped everything, took an afternoon, and G it TFO of his courtroom so it didn't become (more of) a spectacle or circus.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Good to see the court system works that way.

Wow, it was such a poor lawsuit that one of our state courts refused to even entertain the idea of going forward, and that's a really low bar to set.
But that's the absurdity of suing every homosexual in existence. She may as well have tried to sue all gays in the future and the past, too.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
