Gay Marriage?
So how long do you think it will take for America to grant mariage equality for all. If ever? Which states do you think will be next to allow gay marriage. Please be open minded people. NO HATE!

We already have marriage equality. EVERY man can marry a woman and EVERY woman can marry a man. |

The northern tier of states only, beginning with those on the two coasts and thereafter gradually spreading toward the center of the country. |

....or you can just live with the one you love, like many people without trying to destroy marriage. What a concept! |

seriously, I think that all it takes is someone from MA to move elsewhere, and have the b***ls to challenge the validity of their marriage.
There is a clause in law where states are suppose to recognize each other's marriage contracts as well as business contracts. That is why two young lovebirds can drive off to vegas and get married, then come home and it is legitimate. I do not understand how they managed to stop this clause in reference to Mass. Anyway, its hard to say which state would be next.. I actually am surprised its not california already.. but If I had to pick.. I would actually say Washington State.. I grew up there for a time.. and it is very progressive on social issues.. and actually interpreting the law.. and not changing it to fit an agenda

but i'm sure they have paperwork on file.. or they aren't officially married by law.. national law... the law of their god is a different law of our nation. law of a nation provides and extends those rights to ALL its citizens.. allowing them to build a life with whoever they love...and having it recognized for tax purposes, and benefits etc.. god doesn't have to sanction my marriage if I ever get to marry who I love.. and I'm ok with that.. but if I pay taxes and can be sent off to war in a draft, then I better have those rights extended to me as well.. even if the person I fell in love with does not have a vagina to shoot out kids.. |
