On Sunday, the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Utah officials' emergency request to stop same-sex couples from marrying. The state had filed an emergency motion for temporary stay on Friday, following a Thursday federal court ruling that overturned the state's ban on gay marriage. In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby said the state's constitution failed to show that same-sex marriages would impede opposite-sex marriages in any way. "In the absence of such evidence, the State's unsupported fears and speculations are insufficient to justify the State's refusal to dignify the family relationships of its gay and lesbian citizens," Shelby wrote. Immediately following the ruling, same-sex couples fled to the county clerk's office to receive marriage licenses. But Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) denounced the decision, threatening to take action to appeal it. "I am very disappointed an activist federal judge is attempting to override the will of the people of Utah," Herbert said of the Thursday ruling. "I am working with my legal counsel and the acting attorney general to determine the best course to defend traditional marriage within the borders of Utah." The 10th Circuit Appeals Court denied the governor's emergency request "without prejudice." "Because the motion before us does not meet the requirements of the Federal or local appellate rules governing a request for a stay, we deny the motion," the court held. -- I can see it now...thousands of married heterosexual couples in Utah dumping their spouses so they can marry their same-sex boyfriends or girlfriends. Gays ringing the doorbells in Salt Lake City and breaking up heterosexual marriages. |

I cannot understand why anyone would deny 'marriage' requests from any two beings. The Glibitz have every right to pretend their ceremony is a 'marriage', and receive all the advantages under the law that to which they're entitles. If the chosen partner is a goat, the goat should be deductible. Amen. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Are you discriminating against the "B"s? Because one person should not be able to deduct more than one spouse on her income tax return. But, I understand your point. A 'B' should be able to deduct at least one of each gender. But, should there be a limit placed on the 'Z's'. What if ....you know....goats, sheep, cows, orangutans..??? Hey, for the Glibitz, it's not a choice, right? John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! You seem to have taken a serious interest in this "goat" thing... Is there something you are not telling us? |
