same sex marriage thread

[TruthSeeker11]

No wonder they're gay.

Dang, the one on the right looks like she could eat an apple through a chain link fence

That said, what kind of mental illness is it when 2 people of the same sex, don't want to be with people of the opposite sex, yet, they dress, groom, act and are attracted to people who look like the sex of people they do not want to be with???

Folks, this issue is done decided.

I hope that it does not affect any of your own marriages.

How would our marriages be impacted?

North Carolina attorney general says state will not oppose cases challenging same-sex marriage bans - @chrisgeidner http://www.breakingnews.com/t/Bz

Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Monday — the second appellate court to rule on the marriage issue.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond, Virginia, said the state's laws "impermissibly infringe on its citizens’ fundamental right to marry."

The three-judge panel voted 2-1 to strike down the ban.

"We recognize that same-sex marriage makes some people deeply uncomfortable. However, inertia and apprehension are not legitimate bases for denying same-sex couples due process and equal protection of the laws. Civil marriage is one of the cornerstones of our way of life. It allows individuals to celebrate and publicly declare their intentions to form lifelong partnerships, which provide unparalleled intimacy, companionship, emotional support, and security.

Same sex marriage doesn't make us "deeply uncomfortable".
It's immoral, unnatural and an abomination to God!!!
Personally, I don't care what 2 people do in THEIR bedroom.
I do care when it's forced down my throat.(that didn't come out right)
3 percent of the population demanding we accept their "lifestyle".

These aren't "judges", they are social activists in need of some tar and feathering along with the rest of the degenerate bastards in DC!!! And a rope to quickly follow!!!

It is interesting that two of the most conservative Courts of Appeals, the Fourth Circuit and the Tenth Circuit, now have ruled in favor of gay marriage. Unless one of the other circuit courts of appeals rules the other way, the issue might never make it to the Supreme Court.

The Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday on six gay marriage fights from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee on Wednesday, setting the stage for one ruling. Each case deals with whether statewide gay marriage bans violate the Constitution.

Exactly.

It's a satanic agenda whose real purpose isn't to give some sort of dubious equality to homosexuals, but to get people to do anything that rebels against the word of God as found in the Holy Bible. The intent is to pull people away from the True God so that the people will be more likely to worship anti-Christ as false god when he makes the ridiculous claim that he is god.

Virginia AG says same-sex marriages could begin in state Aug. 20; Supreme Court may still intervene - @nbcwashington http://bit.ly/1ywdXEd

Same-sex marriage could begin within the next few days in Virginia after a federal appeals court decided not to delay the effects of its ruling.

A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond on Wednesday denied the request by a county court clerk in northern Virginia to stay the decision while it is appealed to the Supreme Court. Earlier this month, the appeals court ruled that Virginia's constitutional and statutory provisions barring gay marriage and denying recognition of such unions performed in other states violated the U.S. Constitution.

The Virginia Attorney General's Office says the earliest licenses could be issued is Wednesday, Aug. 20. Lawyers for both sides in the case previously indicated they thought licenses could be issued as early as Monday.

A judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Tuesday that Indiana must recognize same-sex marriages performed out of state. The lawsuit was filed by one same-sex couple and one woman who sought a protective order against her wife; all plaintiffs were married outside of Indiana. The court considered the question of whether Indiana Code Section 31-11-1-1(b) [text] violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [text]. Chief Judge Richard Young wrote:

The phenomenon that the court previously observed has continued to grow. Since issuing its prior orders, two circuit courts have found bans similar to Indiana's to be unconstitutional. This court reaffirms that conclusion today. ... Therefore, the court GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment.
