MARRIAGE EQUALITY NATIONWIDE
|
Good morning. Seen the news? Ways to continue to discriminate are already popping up. First one I saw was in TX, didn't see that one coming (snark, hilk, hilk). Having the gov clerks just say no when asking for an application. How inventive will they get? Sorry, ran out of forms. Sorry, lost the request please try again. Sorry, can only apply on Feb 29th. Sorry, outsourced this function to the redneck church down street practicing religious freedom, will have to take it up with them.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I can't imagine there's no legal recourse to enforce the ruling, however. It's a temporary measure, yet another conservative christian right tantrum that'll lead to them losing, and whining about how persecuted they are, that they aren't allowed to not follow the law.

Foot-dragging, to be sure. But it won't last long. The recalcitrants will be weeded out by lawyers and attrition.

I'm sorry you don't like it (no I'm not), but put on your big boy pants and deal with it. You're right. I've voiced my opinion, and even though I strongly disagree and I believe the country is going down the tubes, Ill accept the decision of the supreme court on this one. I have shorts on, but they are big boy shorts. 
You'd figure that the fundies would be happy about this, as it would be one more sign that THE END IS NEAR. Where is their faith?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
Out of curiosity, does this measure automatically allow adoption or do States need to create laws to allow adoption as well? Because from what I recall in most of Europe marriage was always legalised first and adoption was usually some years later because both are separate issues and legally you can allow people to marry and still deny them the right to adopt

Yes, but law suits take time and money, only delaying the inevitable but still a pain in the ass. Some will not want to go through the experience (nor should they have to).

Did you expect the bigots to roll over and die? Remember, the fuckheads think jesus is on their side.
