Actually, Ms T, I am pretty all right with the ban on ALL marriages in Oklahoma.
1) I would like to have non LGBTQ folk feel what it is like to be denied the benefits of marriage. Money is a big issue in any relationship, and losing some of their own money may motivate otherwise unmovable people to think about granting every one the financial privileges of marriage in order to get their own privilege back.
2) Sometimes stupid people can do things in such a stupid way, that even other stupid people can see how stupid it is. I think this bill might be just such an eye-opener.
3) Let straight people fuck up other straight peoples lives for a change instead of fucking up ours!

Smooches,
Keri

Sometimes (not often) i forget how much we are hated by some, and how far we still have to go to guarantee equal housing, jobs and the basic rights including marriage for our LGBT family.

Default Oregon won't defend same-sex marriage ban in court

Oregon won't defend same-sex marriage ban in court

By Ralph Ellis, CNN
updated 7:10 PM EST, Thu February 20, 2014

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Oregon won't fight for same-sex marriage ban in federal lawsuit
  • The state defines marriage as being between one man and one woman
  • Attorney general says state will enforce the ban while case is litigated



(CNN) -- Oregon will not defend the state's same-sex marriage ban in court because the law would not stand up to a federal constitutional challenge, the state's attorney general said Thursday.
However, Ellen Rosenblum said in legal documents that the state is legally obligated to enforce the state's ban on same-sex marriage while a federal lawsuit is litigated.
Oregon filed the documents in response to the lawsuit challenging the ban.
Oregon voters passed Measure 36 in 2004, which amended the state's Constitution to define marriage as between one man and a woman.
In 2013, the state's chief operating officer directed state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages that were legally performed in other states.
Thursday's response ended by saying the state will not defend the Oregon ban on same-sex marriage because it "cannot withstand a federal constitutional challenge under any standard of review."
Meanwhile, Rosenblum said officials are legally obligated to enforce the ban until the court makes a ruling.

June 1st is the official start of marriage equality in Illinois, but in a wonderful step forward, the state will begin issuing marriage licences immediately, saying there is no valid reason to wait.

Yayyyy Illinois
