Same-Sex Marriage Update

MsTinkerbelly · 06-22-2015, 08:44 AM

The tiny nation (population 48) of Pitcairn Island, has legalized same-sex marriage.

The Island in the Pacific Ocean, does not have any gay couples, but that shouldn't stop their statement of equality!

Wtg!

Mike Huckabee has vowed that, should he become POTUS he will ignore the SCOTUS ruling allowing gay marriage. If marriage equality then passes in the Legislature, he will veto the bill.

I personally praise God that he will never be POTUS, but there are plenty more just like him, or plenty being incited by his hatred. A positive ruling by the SCOTUS will bring them out of the woodwork!

Be careful out there folks, there are plenty of people just like the South Carolina shooter... full of hate, and ready to kill.

The lower house passed a motion asking the Government to adopt Civil Union requirements for same-sex unions.

Italy ( also several other countries), requires a civil marriage before any religious services (unless you are catholic) may be undertaken. The Civil Union grants rights of inheritance, taxes, health Care decisions, etc...and does NOT require a religious ceremony to follow.

Further news to follow.....

I saw the SCOTUS again posted notice that decisions would be announced tomorrow and Friday...last week they were in error and only Thursday listed decisions.

Sooooo, being the anal retentive person i am, i emailed the blog for clarification, and was told that we will indeed have decisions Thurs, Fri and Monday.

Just an FYI

No announcement on same-sex marriage today, but the ACA is here to stay!

Whoop!

I have long thought that this is the best way of handling marriage in all countries/principalities/states/municipalities, whatever. Marriage is a legal contract between consenting adults. If you want religious sanctions along with the legality, fine, but the marriage authority should come from the state, not any church (whether you are catholic or not, lol)
Smooches,

Actually, in the best of worlds the authority should come from the individuals engaging in the contract as it does with most other contracts. All legal rights should flow from the signing of this contract with perhaps a small governmental registration fee if the individuals wish to "publish" the contract

Well folks....

Tomorrow, June 26th, marks the anniversary of the decision by the SCOTUS making sections of DOMA unconstitutional, and the Lawerence vs Texas judgement striking down the laws against sodomy.

Wouldn't it be fitting to have same-sex marriage become the law of the land tomorrow as well?!

Same-sex marriage is legal throughout the land, and MUST be recognized by every state!!

Details to follow.

Never in my life did i think i'd see it.

*** edited to add...marriages may begin immediately, or if the states want to wait as long as possible, they must begin in two weeks when the SCOTUS mandate is published.
