Alaska
The Alaska ban on same-sex marriage fell yesterday, and marriages will begin today.
Whoop whoop! Soon the need for this thread will be over, and i for one am eternally grateful, as i never thought i would see this in my lifetime. BUT...as was pointed out earlier, the fight ramps up full force for discrimination protection for our brothers and sisters. Folks, if we can get married but still lose our homes or jobs for being who we are, what have we really gained? |

I'm not sure whether to laugh, or give a WTF.
.gif "Say What?") The Texas Attorney General had this to say, and i paraphrase: "Our same-sex marriage ban deters out of wedlock childbirth" This is the same man who said during the recent Texas Governor's debate: " I am against same-sex marriage because my wife and i have been married 33 years." Where do they find these people? |

Alaska's 1st known gay marriage in Arctic town
  Associated Press MARK THIESSEN5 hrs ago  Š Mark Thiessen/AP Photo Supporters of same-sex marriage hold signs during a news conference on Oct. 10, 2014, outside the federal courthouse in Anchorage, Alaska. ANCHORAGE, Alaska A remote outpost on Alaska's Arctic Coast where people are used to doing their own thing has applied that independent streak to gay marriage.A magistrate in Barrow, Alaska the nation's northernmost community, and one that cannot be reached by road has performed what is believed to be the state's first gay marriage ceremony days ahead of schedule after a federal judge struck down the state's ban. Couples lined up statewide Monday to apply for marriage licenses, beginning the clock on a mandatory three-day wait until ceremonies could be held. For Kristine Hilderbrand, 30, and Sarah Ellis, 34, it wasn't about being first when they sought and received a waiver to the three-day wait from Magistrate Mary Treiber. Monday just fit their schedules better. After completing their marriage license Monday morning, they began to check on available dates for a courthouse ceremony. They then tried to mesh those with their schedules and those of families and friends. Because Monday was Columbus Day, a federal holiday, members of Ellis' family on the East Coast were able to call into the court's sophisticated teleconference system used for lawyers and defendants spread out over the far-flung judicial district when Treiber conducted the marriage ceremony late Monday afternoon. Hilderbrand's sister was her maid-of-honor, and her father and nephew also attended. She said Ellis' brother from the Boston area used his thickest New England accent to crack up the room on the speaker phone when he said, "It's wicked awesome that you guys got married." Alaska helped touch off a national debate 15 years ago with a ban on same-sex unions. U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess ruled Sunday that the ban violated the due process and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution. His ruling came over the objection of gay-marriage opponents who say states should decide the issue, not courts. Burgess on Tuesday denied the state's request for a stay. Alaska officials plan to appeal his Sunday ruling to the 9th Circuit Court, and could also seek a stay from the appeals court, even though it has allowed gay marriages to go forward in other states within its jurisdiction. Cori Mills, a spokeswoman for the Alaska attorney general's office, said in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the state has not made a final decision yet whether to ask the 9th Circuit for the stay. Gay couples married outside Alaska or in ceremonies within the state that didn't carry legal standing were among those seeking licenses. Barrow offered a unusual small-town setting for Hilderbrand and Ellis' wedding. Barrow has about 4,600 people and is 725 miles north of Anchorage. Many residents lead a subsistence lifestyle, and the landing of three bowhead whales last week provided the passionate discussion, not gay marriage or politics. "I think the scene is different up here," said Hilderbrand, a third-generation Alaskan who was born in Barrow. Residents accept people for who they are, she said. "The fact that we're in a relationship together and have been for the last six years in this town, people have just been very accepting and it is just what it is," Hilderbrand said. "It's been such a non-issue here for so long that we were really more focused on getting married and getting to spend the rest of our lives together. We really weren't concerned about all the politics." What did matter to her, though, was being able to marry in Alaska. "I didn't want to go someplace else and be married and then come home and have it be a meaningless piece of paper," she said. Treiber followed this wedding by marrying another lesbian couple at the courthouse. Hilderbrand and Ellis stayed to celebrate the marriage of their friends. Kelly Cahoon, 28, and Bernice Oyagak, 27, petitioned Treiber for a waiver because they were leaving Barrow for Anchorage on Monday night, and they didn't want to marry in the state's largest city, the Alaska Dispatch News reported. "It was really kind of special to be able to share the day with them," Hilderbrand said. |

I'm not a big Bible person, but I wondered about the sign in the post above (on the right, which shows a bible reference) . I thought it might be an "anti same sex marriage" quote. Its not.
Smooches, Keri 1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV) 13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. |

I keep trying to get women pregnant out of wedlock and it's not working! I never thought to blame the Texas same-sex marriage ban... If they lift that ban though... watch out world! Texas legislature never cease to amaze me.

It was just announced on NBC that a federal judge has ruled Arizona"s ban on same sex marriage to be illegal... And here I just answered the poll of the month "Single, not dating, not having casual sex vote for me".....

I live in Texas, and I wouldn't vote for Greg Abbott if he was the ONLY person running for Governor. I'd write in my own damn name. He's about as educated as a lab rat. He's all for himself and votes against just about everything that can get him money in his own pockets. He's not for the public, he's selfish and out for his own personal gain. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I had no idea that same sex marriage ban in Texas is the reason I never had kids with prior partners out of wedlock. JESUS H. CHRIST, what a freaking idiot to say that. It hasn't deterred children being born out of wedlock, teens are still on the rise here for getting pregnant and being unmarried. The fight for Texas Governor is going to be interesting enough. I can't wait to Vote for Wendy Davis (D). ROCK THE VOTE TEXAS!!
