Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

Let's all get married to Eric H. in Brainerd.

And at long last, Minnesota's most famous wedding is legal:

Wait.... so Michelle B did or did not actually say that the Twin Cities would be destroyed by God??

A: She did not.

Damn it. This is the first time I'm aware of that I've been fooled by fake news! But really, it was 100% believable!

She meant they would be destroyed by A-Rod.

Nah this is MN we're talking about, she meant they would be destroyed by Joe Mauer.

I just searched 'evil Joe Mauer' on Google and

So I'm inclined to agree with you.

lol Blaine is the new SODOM (for gay sex devil worship orgy, it's the second left past Jimmy John's & Papa Murphy's)

"In my heart, I grieve on both sides. Because I know what it's like to be alone and I know what it is like to have somebody close to you and love you. But I grieve inside because I feel we are opening the doors to Sodom and Gomorra. And in the end, God is going to be the judge," said Nelson, of Blaine, tears running down her cheeks.

Guys. My ears hurt sooooooooooooooo bad right now.

you're doing it wrong

were they chanting "The people united / Will not be put asunder"?

I have a photo of me on that MST set, marrying no one.

I'll say this: the crowd ran through their entire songbook in far less than the four or five hours they were amassed.

Murkowski endorses. And I do hope Sarah Palin is somewhere flailing about now.

Can't wait for Obama to issue a statement from Senegal.

I don't want to get into any tedious theology debate here (at least not now)
but there is a difference between "letting oneself be used by God to gently let someone else realise their fault" vs. "Thinking oneself is better than someone else and looking down on them; judging them" (in action they may appear very similar, but in motive they are opposite)
In the case of stoning the prostitute, Jesus was speaking to the second group.

This is the kind of thought that needs to be examined to see how to get your agenda across (to the non-homophobe intelligent conservative Christian). Just saying, "that kind of thought is religious and wrong" will get no where.

LOL at how this thread started. Can't believe all of the debate on a passage of the Bible that didn't even exist in the original copies.

DOMA goes down!

"DOMA singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty."

Amy Howe: There is a "careful consideration" standard: In determining whether a law is motivated by improper animus or purpose, discriminations of an unusual character especially require careful consideration. DOMA cannot survive under these principles.

Amy Howe: There is language suggesting that the Court will dismiss Prop 8 on standing.

Page 4 of hte Roberts dissent, talking about Prop 8: "We hold today that we lack jurisdiction to consider it in the particular context of Hollingsworth v. Perry."

Oh my.

Go to Google.

Type in 'gay'

Wait.

for how long?

?

Until it starts to get turgid.

Exactly! (Missing implied step -- hit return/enter on your keyboard.)

I still don't get it; has "gay" meant anything except "needs marriage" in American discourse for the last 5 years?

Long-partnered but not married friend in NJ, on FB:

I'm happy that a discriminatory statute was struck down. I still think civil marriage is, in itself, discriminatory in privileging people simply for normalizing their lives in a government-approved manner, but I suppose that's an argument for another time.

Look at this fucking hipster

THANKS, MACKLEMORE

ha!

otm

Grammy Record of the Year is in the bag.

sorry Daft Punk

Sorry two other Macklemore singles that were also nominated.

congratulations america <3

One of my gay friends, in posting his celebration of the ruling, also lamented the fact that apparently Floridians can't read, and apparently he was a part of this FB group that for some reason thought that this made gay marriage legal and recognized in all states, so they started posting plans to all assemble at City Hall and get married today.

Oops!

Really happy at this ruling though. also love that Pelosi blew off the "what do you think of Bachmann's comments" question she got.

it's funny to see which FB friends went to a rally/celebration in front of the Stonewall Inn, and try to conjure what a future spouse of theirs might be like. (genetically engineered supermen?)

I bet you laughed, you did.
