Texas SC rules state does NOT have to give benefits to homosexual "couples"

[Seawytch]

I just posted the timeline of the ruling. This is headed to the SCOTUS.

Again, there are no benefits gays got in addition to benefits straights received. This case was about timing, but bass ackward Texas Republicans want to make it bigger.

Instead, the Texas Supreme Court insisted, the trial court must settle the issue itself—keeping in mind that Obergefell “did not hold that states must provide the same publicly funded benefits to all married persons.”

This is headed to the SCOTUS.

this has already been to the federal supreme court stupid

what do you think the references to Obergefell v. Hodges is all about

--LOL

like i said earlier you dont have a clue as to what happened




as for obergefell there are more cases headed that way

one is there currently

The goal of this case is to challenge Obergefell. It failed before, they exerted pressure and now are getting it to move forward under the premise that states and localities should still be able to deny equal benefits to married gay couples.

It's not going to win. No "reasonable" judge is going to rule that only some married couples are deserving of benefits.

so you say

leftards and their magic crystal ball

It failed before

you really dont know what you are rambling about do ya

The court initially declined to hear Pidgeon. But after being lobbied by many of the state's most influential conservatives, the justices surprised everyone and reinstated the case. That decision brought back memories from 2000, when two Republican justices on the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston had the gall to find that the Texas sodomy statute violated the Texas Constitution, and a campaign was launched against them.

Can Texas conservatives put limits on gay marriage?

yeah so what

the mayor took it to federal court

and the court rejected it

sending it back to the state

thanks for demonstrating

that you do not know what you are rambling about

The State Supreme Court initially rejected it. Under political pressure they decided to hear it.

But after being lobbied by many of the state's most influential conservatives, the justices surprised everyone and reinstated the case.

Surprised everyone because it has no merit, no "reasonableness". It is not reasonable to deny gay couples the same benefits as straight couples.

It's past time to let Taxus and the rest of the backwards hillbillies go off to form their own country. Maybe the FakeJesusConfederate States of Batshittia. Cons always use government power to strip human beings of rights.

This is against the America way and what the founders intended. Freedom was the foundation of the US. Conservatives now reject this idea and instead view freedom as whatever whim they have today on who they want to treat like human beings and who they don't.

I say fine let them go. Let's break the union up and let the fake Kristians head off to build The Walled-in Compound of Perpetual Preppers. Taxus has been at the forefront the last ten years of wanting to secede from the union, I say let's join them and break it up. The rest of us are tired of having to apologize to the rest of humanity for having the knuckle-draggers in the family.

Ah, another triggered con. Don't worry cubby, get your sippy cup and blanky.

Texas Supreme Court denies benefits to married same-sex couples

Ah. Sanity is nice to see.

Hopefully, it goes to the SCOTUS just in time for the midterms so voters can be reminded of what Republicans see as priorities

 

[Anathema]

... It is not reasonable to deny gay couples the same benefits as straight couples.

Yes it is. Animals dont have the same rights or privileges as human beings.

The devil brought the perversions of the earth. If the earth started with homosexuality we wouldn't be here today. Therefore it's against humanity, but if it floats your boat, none of my business. Seems today you want to make it my business.

Why is the devil singling out 6-10% of the population randomly?

Actually, population control is the opposite of against humanity...it ensures it's continuation.

You choose to sin. Homosexuality if lived the way it's wrote out. It is population control. Two of the same sex cannot have children withowithout outside help.

Yes, I choose to act upon my attractions. Are you saying "the devil" makes all people attracted to members of the same gender, but only 6-10% act on it? Are you choosing not to act on same gender attractions?

Okay, homosexuality is population control... therefore having a place in the natural order.

Someone has to take care of the children you hets don't want.

Homosexuality is a sin, not created by God. Just like bestiality liberals are now working on normalizing.

You're wrong on both points. God created mankind and the free will endowed therein. And no one is advocating legalization of bestiality. That's a ham handed propagandistic Hyper Conservative creation.

You support men in girls locker rooms?

You keep parroting the same line but not actually answering the questions I posed. No independent thought, just "gay = sin"?

Why was I given attractions for members of my same gender? We're you given them too and you choose not to "sin"?

Yes homosexuality is a sin, but I was taught to hate the sin and not the dinner.

 

[deltex1]

Heteros marry to have kids. Homos marry to get benefits.

Our kids were 9 and 7 by the time my wife and I were legally able to marry.

So you didn't need to get married to have the kids. You had to get married to get benefits.

 

[bodecea]

Not something everyone believes...nor are we required to.

Your right, but non believers will live eternity in hell. You have that choice.

Drop the pretense. Call them infidels.

No, just live under God's will and you will be fine. God's will doesn't include the perversion of homosexuality.

The Taliban tells people to live under God's laws too.

You're Christian Sharia.

But I don't say death to homosexuals.

...out loud

There you go again,parroting the same line. Can't think independently enough to answer some pretty simple questions?

So you didn't need to get married to have the kids. You had to get married to get benefits.

Already had them, thanks. My state recognized my civil partnership. Civil Marriage did give us addition benefits. I'm a military retiree and now my spouse actually gets treated like all other retiree spouses.

Did you only marry in a church and not get a civil marriage license?

The feds need to fuck off and stop trying to shove their perverted agenda down the throats of hard working actual Americans.

 

[pwjohn]

That's discrimination at the govt level. I ain't down for that shit.
Same certificate but don't get Same employment benefits? Nice. How leftist of you guys.

It is resistance against tyranny, so I'm down for it.

Trampling on rights for agenda. As I said, how leftist of you

There is no "right" for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman, anymore than there is a "right" for a woman to abort her child. The liberals have invented these "rights" but they aren't from the Constitution, they are from the imagination of people who have declared enmity against God and nature.

Which god?

A non sequitor. Do you regularly move the goalposts?

God is stronger than any man or his laws.

Scene: The Heavenly Real Estate Office)

The Landlord is cheerily rounding up a covey of blazing comets that have skittered under Queen Cassiopeia’s chair. His business agent, Mr. Gabriel, enters, his Golden Trumpet in one hand and more reports from the tiny planet Earth in the other.

The Landlord: (to the comets) Come out from under there, you little scamps, before you set that whole galaxy on fire.

Gabriel: Excuse me, Sir, another batch of Prayergrams from your most devout Christians.

The Landlord: (waving a hand) Whatever they want, Gabriel. Now where did those frisky little devils get to?

Gabriel: Yes, sir, they want you to evict 10 percent of your tenants down there. (raising the Golden Trumpet) I’ve never attempted a partial eviction. Shall I try?

Landlord: (looking up) What 10 percent, Gabriel?

Gabriel: The Gays, sir. Your devout Christians say they’ve done their utmost to keep them out of their schools, their offices, their churches and their lives, but without success. So their Prayergrams ask you to remove them from the face of the Earth.

The Landlord: By Me, Gabriel? That doesn’t sound very Christian. I thought they were supposed to love their neighbors.

Gabriel: Oh, they do, sir, if their neighbors are of the same color, economic bracket and sexual orientation.

The Landlord: But what harm do these gay people do?

Gabriel: I’m afraid you’re not seeing the big picture, sir. Gays simply don’t fit into your grand design. You know, two by two, male and female? Generation after generation? The fact of the matter is that gays simply don’t procreate.

The Landlord: I thought there was enough procreation down there already.

Gabriel: And they commit unspeakable acts.

The Landlord: Murder? Torture? Paving over my mountain meadows?

Gabriel: Unspeakable sexual acts, sir.

The Landlord: Ah, you mean they express their love for each other in different ways.

Gabriel: (annoyed) Really, sir, if these people were automobiles, they’d be recalled in a nonce. They’re clearly defective.

The Landlord: (frowning) Defective, Gabriel?

Gabriel: Exactly, sir. Some essential part is missing, some vital drive is malfunctioning. Bungled wiring, a loose screw… Who knows?

The Landlord: But clearly they are examples of shoddy workmanship?

Gabriel: Oh definitely, sir. And they certainly don’t deserve to clutter up your little blue-green jewel of a planet a minute longer. (raising his trumpet again) Shall I evict them now?

The Landlord: (slowly) And who made these imperfect products, Gabriel?

Gabriel: Why, You did, of course – but… (he lowers the trumpet in sudden consternation) Good You, sir, I didn’t mean to blaspheme. You will forgive them then?

The Landlord: (smiling) A wise philosopher said long ago, Gabriel, that if I made these sinners, it is not I who should forgive them… but they who should forgive me.

Gabriel: Well, I’m sure the gays will be glad to hear of your tolerance and generosity, sir.

The Landlord: The gays? I was talking about my most devout Christians.
