Breaking: Utah's Same-Sex Marriage Ban Struck Down by Federal Judge (job, businesses)

(will try to appeal...but they don't have a leg to stand on). In Ohio, it will be
difficult to allow same-sex marriage for dead people but not for the living. The
lengths some people will go to stop someone else's happiness.

I heard this today about Ohio, and while I see that ruling as definitely a step in the right direction, I have to withhold my most enthusiastic congratulations for the day the state itself starts issuing licenses to same sex couples.

But I do believe the writing is on the wall, and I look forward to the day when marriage equality comes to Ohio, as well as when the appeal process is over in Utah and same sex couples can continue to marry legally there.

Go, Equality!!!!

I wonder where that poster is who yesterday tried to tell me that only a "few" states had passed marriage equality laws.

Why do you hate Mormons?

Look man, the writing's on the wall. Gay marriage will be a reality in this country regardless of what internet trolls want. The end.

Harrier respectfully disagrees.

Even if it does occur, it should be done by a vote of the people in each state, not through tyrannical judicial fiat by unelected men in black robes.

So?

Petition your state legislature to change the Mississippi marriage law, if you don't like the current one.

You can do that in this republic.

Isn't freedom great?

I was just want to plant this quote from the bible here for all our religious friends who judge homosexuals negatively:

Matthew 7
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."


Merry Christmas.

There is already a court case pending.
