DOMA ruled unconstitutional

And, if you dont think its a scary job, or that this type of "service" doesn't measure up to your GI Jane bravery...........ask the over 600 cops who've died in uniform in the State of Georgia if their service was scary or counted: Search for a Fallen Officer

Get over yourself *****.

We get it....you had a scary job....nite scary job. So scary you had no time to pay attention to world and current events. You said so yourself. No argument here.

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.

Nope you are wrong.

that one does effect others.

so you fail

And gays getting sick because of AIDS is not a cost on the healthcare system and deformed children because of in breeding is not another cost on healthcare system?

it is also a cost on the system for people who have gene problems.

Do we make laws to keep them from procreating?

Somewhere out there is a page where homophobes go to get their talking points. I haven't found it yet, but the consistency of the idiocy they parrot is strong cirumstantial evidence it exists.

I swear this is one of the FAQs:

Q: Why do we oppose same sex marriage?

A: Because incest!

 

[Flopper]

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

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


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?

There are good reason to ban incestuous marriages. Incestuous marriages lead to a high probability of congenital birth defects and narrow the gene pool which is damaging to society. The only reason to ban gay marriage is for religious reasons which should not be of any interest to the state. In fact, gay marriage has some very positive benefits for society. It certainly helps reduce overpopulation. Marriage makes people on average, healthier, happier and wealthier. For a couple raising kids, marrying is likelier to make them healthier, happier, and wealthier, too. Marriage is our best line of defense against financial, medical and emotional meltdown.

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.

First of all, I don't think this conversation had anything to do with incest, polygamy, beastiality, ect, so why bring it up? Is your goal to muddy the topic as laid by the original poster? Perhaps are you trying to twist the argument around to better suit your own personal agenda, because you don't have enough backing or reasons to debate the topic in its pure form?

Let's stay on track and focus on the main, relevant battle that is taking place in America today: should same-sex marriage between consenting adults be allowed?

Only an utterly insignificant portion of the population actually would participate in polygamy, incest, and beastiality, so again - why even bring it up? You're just wasting everyone's time!

How ironic.

You blame Republicans for being on the "wrong side of history" for DOMA, which was passed in 1996 under a Democrat president




BTW, I'm against DOMA. I believe it is a state's right. Glad it's gonna be gone. Dumbass Democrat Bill Clinton shouldn't have let this pass anyway.

And yet Republicans feebly take credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

What the **** did those hemophiliac children do to offend your sick god?

Sins of the parents blame them.

So you believe that parents who carry genes for hemophilia shouldn't reproduce?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Sins of the parents blame them.

So you believe it's sin rather than infective disease? You're an idiot.

And you think it's god to blame. ******* moron.

It has nothing to do with rights, gays want their lifestyle to appear normal, so if they can get an acceptance that gays can marry like normal people do, then in their mind they think people will look at them as normal.
They aren't they will always be ABNORMAL

Let me get this straight, Lonestar-

You’re (A) praising the Republican party for the instances in history where they honorably supported liberty and freedom (by shrinking the size/power of government), while at the same time (B) supporting a stance within this thread (DOMA) that inhibits liberty and freedom by increasing the Authority of the Federal Government?

Sounds like a huge double standard to me…

In a nutshell, I'm more concerned about what the Republican Party represents TODAY, vs what it used to represent during the time of Abraham Lincoln.

Well jake since the 9th and 10th amendments were written into the Constitution via the bill of rights what are the usage of those amendments surely they have a purpose. How would they be applied?

So only beneficial legislation gets credited to Republicans, in spite of who's in the White House. Conversely, legislation overturned in the courts gets pinned to Democrats, in spite of the circumstances. Got it. Consistency, the hallmark of a true champion (my High School track coach said that)

Abnormal is not normal and never will be.

 

[WorldWatcher]

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

I believe the "issue" (such as it was) boiled down to a concern that if State "A" says a "marriage" is solely between a man and a woman, but State "B" says no no, a "marriage" can be between a man and a man or a woman and a woman, then because of the Full Faith and Credit obligation, State "A" will have to accept the "determination" of State "B."

So the DOMA law was designed (I believe) to make sure that marriage laws remained the province of each individual state.

Accordingly, if the SCOTUS reverses the lower court, this time, it could be legitimately argued that they would be engaged in genuinely conservative jurisprudence.

I wish ALL states would get OUT of the business of classifying the social contract between adults as "marriage." That should be the province of churches and synagogues, etc., not the province of the States. As far as the STATE is concerned, it should ALL be just a civil union contract. If a gay couple cannot get "married" in the Catholic Church, that is not a matter for the secular courts.

DOMA actually had two separate sections:

1. Under Congresses Article IV Section 1 authority relieved state for having to recognize one type of Civil Marriage based on gender.

2. Defined for federal purposes what a Civil Marriage was.​

If I'm reading the OP article correctly, #1 was not addressed by the Appeals Court. It was #2 that was at issue and only that piece was ruled unconstitutional.
