Federal Judge Overturns Virginias Same-Sex Marriage Ban
By ERIK ECKHOLMFEB. 14, 2014 NY Times A federal judge on Thursday evening declared that Virginias ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, in the strongest legal reversal yet of restrictive marriage amendments that exist throughout the South. Our Constitution declares that all men are created equal, wrote Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, in Norfolk. Surely this means all of us. The ruling, which overturned a constitutional amendment adopted by Virginia voters in 2006 as well as previous laws, also said that Virginia must respect same-sex marriages that were carried out legally in other states. But opponents of same-sex marriage have vowed to appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, and Judge Wright Allen stayed the execution of Thursdays ruling pending the appeal. This week, a federal judge in Kentucky ruled that the state must honor same-sex marriages legally performed in other states, but the ruling did not address Kentuckys own ban on such marriages. If the Court of Appeals upholds Thursdays decision, the repercussions in the South could be wide. Similar amendments limiting marriage to a man and a woman would most likely be voided in other states of the Fourth Circuit, including North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia. (Maryland, the fifth member, approved same-sex marriage in 2012.) -- Sarah Palin is watching the Sochi Olympic Games from the front porch of her house. |

Here, in case you missed it. http://tinyurl.com/ltun7ff And, another question. When you talk about how stupid the folks in the southern states are, do you include all the Democrats? A couple of us were wondering. Atlanta's mayor is black. Is he stupid? Are all the Democrats who voted for him stupid? |

Same sex unions should be encouraged if only as a population control measure. In fact, I'm thinking we should provide a 'same sex union tax credit' for those folks who form a union in which the two people *cannot* reproduce. However, If a male transvestite and female transvestite form such a union, they cannot get the tax credit. However, they may ask for pink booties and pantaloons for their baby boy. |

I'm sure you must think you have some sort of logic behind your claim that bigamy convictions should be reversed. The recent rulings address the fact that the state has no business limiting marriage to a male and female...it does not address the issue of whether an individual may be married to more than one partner at a time. I think same-sex bigamy or polygamy should be allowed, nay, encouraged. They also should receive the Same Sex Union Tax Credit, for their aid in population and global warming control. I still don't like the idea of giving up the word marriage... but I think the times and the constant pounding since the 80's on conservative thought by the Clintonian thought police has finally taken it's toll on the country... |

Don't give up the word 'marriage'. The normal marriage will still exist and be the 'norm' (even though Harry wouldn't like that). The same-sex union folks can call their thing a marriage, union, joining, domestic partnership...whatever the hell they want to call 'it. The primary definition of marriage, according to Merriam-Webster is "a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law But, who gives a ****? The 'other' unions should be *encouraged* not discouraged, simply for their beneficent effects on population control and global warming. |
