DOMA ruled unconstitutional

[mal]

BOSTON — An appeals court ruled Thursday that a law that denies a host of federal benefits to gay married couples is unconstitutional.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples.

The law was passed in 1996 at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved it, led by Massachusetts in 2004

i guess the judges forgot to read the bible.

Many = 32 doesn't it?...

If it's a States Rights Issue then it looks like Gay Marriage is 32 to 8 Loser right now.

You are Applauding this?



peace...

unlike you, i value freedom and the rule of law, so yes, i'm applauding this.

what some three toothed dipshit in alabama or colorado or arkansas or one of the other flyovers wants to do about this is fine with me.

Unlike you, I don't get Emotionally Invested in these things and then Attack those I can't take issue with.

The SCOTUS is not going to let "States Rights" stand on this issue...

If they fall back to Loving, they will Conclude that Homosexual Coupling, and in that, Homosexual Marriage, is NOT "Fundemental to our very Existence and Survival" and that Homosexuals Defying their own Design and Equipment is not Society's Burden.

At least that would the Rational Conclusion.



peace...

yeap this is about rights and always has been.

Gay peoples civil rights are being infringed and have been for the entire history of our country.

Brothers and sisters also have the same right don't?

I dont care if bros and sis's get a civil union.


.

So you accept incest?

 

[Truthmatters]

Homosexuality and acceptance of same sex relationships are not values passed along from civilization and societal structure to succeeding civilizations and societal structure. Historically the normalization of homosexuality is part of whatever degeneracy exists to cause collapse.

What looks likely is that western civilization itself will be submerged under the rise of iislam with gays and lesbians rounded up and executed en masse.

Oh noes run for your life here come the gay people


Gay has exsisted since the begining of mankind.

we have survived just fine.

Its none of my business.

It is NOT the problem it used to be in our past.


In case you have not noticed you dont have to get married or have a civil union to have sex so the problem of then procreating has nothing to do with a civil union.


A civil union should NOT be about anything but the wishes of two people to legally entwine their lives for what ever reason they deem.


Then the churches can have back their word "marrige" and do what ever they want with it.

oh you don't care that brothers and sister get married? You do realize the added cost on healthcare because of inbred children will sky rocket?

(In my Beavis and Butthead voice) Uhhuhuhuhuhuhuh........ Truthmatters supports incest!

I agree, it is a state issue, not a federal issue, just like the Immigration issue in Arizona and the Marijuana issue in California.

The states should not be able to pass unconstitutional laws.

The States are granted rights by the constitution.

More so than the Fed

You do realize allowing gays to marry will give more reason for Muslims to attack America?

It's okay.
We have drones that are allowed to fly wherever they want.

Gays have existed since the beginning of time as a naturally occuring benign anomaly. Only when homosexuality is accepted and treated as normal does it become toxic and has already contributed to the poisoning and death of many civilizations prior to ours. Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, every one of them became increasingly accepting of degeneracy as a whole, homosexuality included, and each of them was overcome by a more robust people. We are not special, we are not different and we will end the same way.

.

It is NONE of my business.

Its not your either.


The only problem with it is procreating and there are people who procreate who logically should not if they care about possible harm to the fetus due to gene problems.


They are not legally bound to NOT procreate because they have gene problems.

You can not tell people who to have sex with.

Its none of your business.

The thought of it turns my stomach but it is not my choice its theirs.

That is what a real commitment to freedom looks like.


Letting other decide what their lives will be as long as it doesnt hurt others.

You lefties love the 14th Amendment, which doesn't pertain to marriage. We're not going to allow you to manipulate and twist the US Constitution for your agenda.

The 14th Amendment protects the rights of the individual. I guess that's why wingnuts hate it. It resulted in states no longer being able to claim separate, but equal.

Well, Roberts must like the 14th Amendment. He was able to dig up some marginalia, which was never part of any opinion, to give limited liability corporations the rights reserved for individuals.

As for your contention that the 14 Amendment not pertaining to marriage, you don't know what you're talking about. It certainly pertained to Loving v Virginia.

one was a man and one was a vagina.

Interesting comment.

Guess what. It's not about your flat earth value system. It's about equal protection under the law.

More so than the Fed

And the people are granted more rights than the State.

It's also none of your business if someone has healthcare coverage or not, but you make it your business to force it on them.

 

[Truthmatters]

I had long time family friends who were like extra gandparents to me who were first cousins.

The fell in love and desided to marry and made the wise decision NOT to have children because of it.


They were good kind decent people who happened to fall in love.

They followed their hearts and used their heads.

Not a bad combo that

 

[hortysir]

Agreed.

Some, around here, would argue that the Fed has the most though.

Nope you are wrong.

that one does effect others.

so you fail

 

[Katzndogz]

True liberals will support incest, polygamy, beastiality, objectophilia, it's part of their twisted philosophy of freedom without even realizing that it's accepting of these things that is even more destructive than the person that does them.

You think drones will stop them? You can't stop people who do not care if they live or die from killing other people when they believe in what they are doing is right.
