Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

ew – I ain't marrying her

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

This chart is pretty helpful: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/06/24/how-the-supreme-court-could-rule-on-same-sex-marriage-in-one-interactive-chart/

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.

lol @ these clowns

remember that thing I did that was politically expedient? well this thing I'm doing now is even more politically expedient

guys there is still a chance to save traditional marriage... I think with blowjobs, judging from this campaign

blowjobs are totally traditional

that's why Clinton signed DOMA, to protect traditional BJs

lol

wow I just realized it's pride weekend. and it's going to be like 90 degrees.

it's hot in my PANTZ

It's not the heat, but the humidity.

see? Eric, you can live here.

so glad I'm working in the burbs all this weekend

Stay lifted in California immediately, Kamala Harris marrying one of the two plaintiff couples in the next seven minutes. I like life. http://t.co/udWtG73k07
