Michigan gay marriage ban declared unconstitutional

[DarkHorse]

Just legalize it everywhere morons, and everyone will be happier. Wait, the christians won't. And the other religious "tribes". But stuff them... I also want to get married, legally. Hate that just because some people have a problem with a woman wanting a woman, there are restrictions. I have a problem with woman wanting men, does that mean I should vote against heterosexual marriage?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Monday in a decision that could overturn similar prohibitions in the Carolinas and West Virginia.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond is the second federal appellate court to overturn gay marriage bans, and is the first to affect the South, where states' rights have held particular sway for generations, but politicians are under increasing pressure to give up the fight.

I hate it when someone tries to stick their morals up my ass or ram them down my throat. Ouch!

My son's mother is bisexual. Every time I read of these decisions, I get good cheer, knowing that her relationship of ten years will one day be seen as just as legitimate as any I've ever had -- never mind that they've doubled the length of my two longest relationships.

Maybe the Virginia decision is God's wrath for Pat Robertson using the evil NIV Bible instead of the Godly King James ?????????

Mormon sleazebags are running the risk.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Utah officials on Tuesday filed court papers asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the state’s ban on gay marriage.

If the court agrees to hear Utah’s case, it could lead to a ruling of national scope on the legality of gay marriage bans.

Bring it. Roll the dice.

The stunning irony of this is that depending on how it goes, we're going to have the Mormon church to thank for nationwide marriage equality.

Unless or until another appellate court rules differently the SC is under no obligation to even take the case. They can simply let the lower court ruling stand.


Meanwhile, this showed up today and is reasonably amusing.

Wife of top Texas anti-gay crusader divorces him to be with lesbian partner

The leader of an anti-LGBT group who has joined with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to ban same-sex marriage had his own marriage end after his wife began a romantic relationship with another woman.

According to court documents obtained by Lone Star Q, Corrine Morris Rodriguez Saenz was dating another woman when she filed for divorce from Jonathan Saenz in 2011. Less than six months later, Jonathan Saenz took over as the president of the state’s top anti-gay group, Texas Values.

The best part is the guy even tried to put his wife in jail because of it.

At one point, he also sought to jail his ex-wife for failing to undergo an evaluation by a psychologist of his choosing—even though he refused to pay the psychologist’s $2,500 fee.
