Same-Sex Marriage Update

Dean Thoreau · 06-19-2015, 01:23 PM

It is In My Humble Opinion SCOTUS will release it on a BIG news day.....so it does not get a lot of front page press coverage...and so the religious right can blame the disaster news on Homosexual marriage,,,and the godless supreme court....and of course obama....and hillary....
Remember thomas might have to write something and that takes time....he has not yet spoken a word on the job....A few are prolly pushing ruthie to resign when it goes thru.....and all the kings horses and all the kings men are preparing their soundbites just in case it ends up being front page news....

Considering that the federal government already acknowledges gay marriage..including benefits......this decision is a given.....just wish the churches/temples would pull their heads out of their icons and realize they are all still allowed to discriminate all they want and do not have to marry anyone.....its civil ceremonies that will be nation wide legal....

So not to wish ill on any particular location or group of people....watch the weather..and the wacko's...the sooner front page insanity and catastrophe hits the sooner we will see the decision that says..yup marriage equality is for all .

The remaining days scheduled for the releasing of decisions are: 6/22, 6/25 and 6/29... A total of 11 decisions, including the Affordable Health Care subsides and same-sex marriage, are among the 11 left. The Justices have the flexibility to add additional days in July to the schedule should the decisions not be ready to publish...but it is widely believed that won't be the case this year.

Yes, the people opposing marriage equality will probably lose their minds when/if a positive decision is handed down, so everyone should keep their heads-up and stay safe.

July 4th will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Philidelphia march for equality...despite the possible job loss, incarceration, or injury to themselves, people marched and stood up for human dignity.

When people tell you that same-sex marriage or even our civil rights have happened too fast, remind them of the days when people were dying of aids ( of anything really) and their beloved "partner" could be shut out and excluded from all visits and choices by families or medical professionals, and we had no rights. Remind them that in some places in 2015 IT CAN STILL HAPPEN, and ask them if we should wait until everyone is "comfortable" with us having the SAME rights as they enjoy.

The same rights not more, and God dammit it all not LESS!

Anyhow...this waiting for news is killing me...hopefully tomorrow?

I'm not sure how i missed this, but on 6/18 the State of Chihuahua offically began to allow same-sex marriage!

Yay Chihuahua

Omg!

There were four (4) decisions handed down today, but the Affordable Health Care subsidies and same-sex marriage were not among them!

The Court scheduled Thursday to announce more decisions, and it will be their usual conference day.

Seven more decisions to go!
