The only issue is whether he has an interest in a gay marriage. If he wishes to marry his partner, then he would have a financial interest in the outcome of the trial.

Him being gay probably did influence the case. He displayed markedly biased handling of it, to the point that he was repeatedly slapped down by supreme court and 9th court rulings when he tried to be biased. He even ignored the supreme court, and recently released videos of the trial to the prosecution, against the supreme court ruling. They’ll likely end up on youtube, and be used to villify opponents of gay marriage.

He probably is personally offended by people’s opposition to gay marriage, since it’s often due to dislike of gay people. That isn’t a reason to remove him from trial, though. If he personally benefits from the trial, that’s a conflict of interests.

Well now, Mr. and Mrs. Straight,
Your marriage must not be so great
If it somehow gets ditched
By two dudes getting hitched–
Or is this just the power of hate?

If you’re so upset at ‘the Gay,’
And can’t see how they can be ‘that way,’
That the thought of them wedding
Gets you tears a-shedding,
Don’t marry one of them, I say.

The problem with gays, I suppose,
Is one’s point of view, as God knows.
So if they want to hook up,
Don’t get yourself shook-up –
Just say, “Ain’t no skin off MY nose!”

For 35 years I’ve been wed
To the woman still sharing my bed
I’ve never had fears
That a couple of queers
Would marry and make my match dead.

The haters should all mend their ways
And not take up with bothering gays
When Mormons like Jeffs
Keep all girls for themseffs
It’s their sons who get stuck without lays.

Not one can explain how there’s harm
From two same-sex cuddled and warm
Affecting my life
As I live with my wife
I find there’s no cause for alarm!

On this matter, this is what I have to say,
Never could understand the urge to be gay.
Same sex romp is no fun
And not meant for everyone
But I am willing to let them live their way.

Humor once again shows its special sharpness in carving up the platitudes that issue from small minds. Well played.
