And another one down: U.S. judge orders Kentucky to recognize same-sex marriages

[paperview]

(Reuters) - A U.S. judge ordered Kentucky on Thursday to recognize the legal same-sex marriages of residents who wed elsewhere, the latest in a string of court victories for gay rights advocates.


U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II said the Kentucky laws that deny the marriages of same-sex couples "violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and they are void and unenforceable."

How many states does this make it? I'm losing track. It seems like a couple a week now. And so many red states. Ouch.

Bad couple of months for the anti-equality crowd.

Gay "Marriage" is nothing more than trying to punish the church by using a word.

Other than that it is all smoke and mirrors.

Well of course there is the money aspect to grab their partners Social Security after they die.

Punished huh? Tell us, do you get a marriage license at a church?

Yeah. That's why Sarah and Laura after years of being together want to get married.

To stick it to the church!

Yes the gays want to use the term marriage to force church's to accept them and punish them for looking at their lifestyle as evil.

Why not push for civil unions that do the same thing? Why call it marriage?

Then again this goes to show that many that claim they want a separation of church and state only do so when it is convenient for them to use that talking point.

Yes it is and to money grab and their dead partners Social security.

Like I said smoke and mirrors.

Marriage is just a word that has been related more toward religion than anything else, so why push to use that word and not civil unions (which are far more legally binding)?

Okay, tell us then, if I get married in a church, am I married? Or do I need something from the state? A license perhaps? Does the church accept only Married People so that once that happens you get a free pass? The church can't say, well, we'd normally say no to you but since you are married now we can't?

A Civil Union is more binding than a Marriage? Isn't a Marriage before God in your way of thinking? That seems pretty binding to me. The other just sounds like a Contract right, like a Permit, or a License? Just paper from the state, not a vow made before Almighty God.

Settled, accepted, and fundamental 14th Amendment jurisprudence; this should come as a surprise to no one.

This doesn’t make any sense, as usual.

The 14th Amendment applies only to the states and local jurisdictions, not private individuals and organizations, such as churches.

You and others on the social right retain the liberty to hate gay Americans and remain ignorant of the law.

Are you unaware that marriages can be performed by civil servants who have nothing to do with any church,

and they still get to be called marriages. In fact, historically marriages have been as much civil as they have been religious.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Why not push for civil unions that do the same thing? Why call it marriage?

Because that would be a violation of the 14th Amendment as well; separate but ‘equal’ is just as un-Constitutional today as it was 60 years ago.

At least you’re consistent in your ignorance.

 

[NYcarbineer]

If marriage is all about religion,

why can the government sanction and recognize the divorce of a Catholic couple, when the Catholic church won't?

Good to see in many ways the Country is moving forward.

Why not just admit the truth and state you hate gay Americans and leave it at that.

The "theyll get married for the money grab" argument doesnt work.

B/c straight couples are already able to donthe same thing. Derp.

I don't think many of these cons think through their arguments.

No, actually, we don't. We really don't care what it is called. Change the name, go ahead. Call it chicken noodle soup...just make it equal.

What you cannot do is have civil marriage for the straights and civil unions for the gheys. That's unconstitutional, but we would be perfectly fine with Civil Unions for all.

Get on it!

We should put it to a test. Dissolve all "Marriages" and make everyone ah, remarry, in a Civil Union. They think the marriage numbers are low now, if we did that the Internet dating sites would crash from tens of millions of new subscribers. Sorry babe, once was enough and there's this girl I met at work...

Then why aren't you pushing for Civil Unions and insist on calling it "Marriage"?

If they really didn't care then we would see a big push for Civil Unions instead of "Marriage", now wouldn't we?

I am all for removing "Marriage" form government and leaving it in religion and calling it civil unions on the legal/government side of things. It is a win for everyone, you would figure those that claim it is not about the term "Marriage" would be preaching such a message. The far left does not think things through when trying to tell you what "rights" you supposedly should be fighting for. Don't be a far left tool.

And yes this would allow you to money grab your partners Social Security as that is the only thing that the so called "Marriage" is supposed to give you. Other than it is still nothing but smoke and mirrors.
