Judge: Utah must honor same-sex marriages performed during 17-day window
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | 5/19/14 | Marissa Lang

Posted on 05/19/2014 9:51:02 PM PDT by Oliviaforever

A federal judge ruled Monday that Utah must recognize and imbue all same-sex marriages performed in the state with the same rights and privileges afforded to married opposite-sex couples.

Chief among those rights, the judge noted, are the right to property, inheritance, legal protection and "the custody and care of children" — an issue at the center of a state challenge to three state court judge’s decisions to grant adoptions to married gay couples.

U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball became the first federal judge ever to order a state to acknowledge and honor all gay and lesbian marriages performed after the state’s ban on same-sex unions was overturned.

It is a war on the Church.

Is the Church fighting back?

Of course, your honor, we recognize all lawful marriages. Our laws state that marriage is the union of a man and a woman in matrimony. We recognize all of those marriages. As for the fictional unions, well, we have no laws to handle those unions, and they aren't marriages, so ok, thanks for your recommendation. I'm sure you'll get around to writing our legislation for us, but until you do, they hold no significance to us.

They managed a pretty good fight in California until it was overturned by the judiciary.

Or what? Or the judge will soil their britches? Invalid unions are not honored. THAT is the law.

“among those rights, the judge noted, are the right to property, inheritance, legal protection and “the custody and care of children””

This is what it is about. Control and getting stuff.

Most importantly; the state and county that issued their marriage license to begin with...

One of the great misconceptions I deal with as an attorney is the thought you can “will” custody of your children to anyone. The best you can do is nominate someone, which will be given whatever weight a judge decides to accord it when the matter is heard by a court, which it will be.

So no, a will would not provide those rights — for anyone, straight or gay.

And what if UTAH refuses to honor these “marriages”?

“Gay marriage” is an attempted coup d’etat against God, against nature, and against We the People of the United States. I assure you that neither God nor nature will be overthrown. The only question is whether the American people will allow themselves to be overthrown by lawless judges and their supine enablers in the other two branches. The verdict is still out.

What ever happened to checks and balances anyhow?

Frankly, the country can’t be saved until we start to elect folks who understand our form of government to our legislatures and as executives, who will tell the judges to go to hell when they get out of line.

The cuss word fits their anal fixations. Read what Freud said about the analy fixated

"we consider it (homosexuality) to be a variation of the sexual function, produced by a certain arrest of sexual development."

Why get married if it's no more than a piece of paper?? There are State benefits from a marriage. The State can deny those.

What would that look like in real life, for a married couple, and is that really meaningful in this discussion?

We need a better national plan to fight gay marriage, than just saying, “let’s ignore it”.

Is this really what you think is the answer to gay marriage, to post “just ignore it”?

It is going to take some far more serious politics than we have seen yet, to stop this.

If Obama can ignore laws that he doesn't like, then why can't Americans ignore the rulings of a district judge.

Conservative obey the law, even if they don't agree with it. Liberals ignore laws they don't like. I say it's time to act like Liberals and ignore the laws you don't like. Let them try to enforce them.

First off, I once i was legally married, I don’t recall much that had anything to do with the state I was originally married in, or the County, most of it was federal.

Just saying “ignore it” doesn’t mean anything, it won’t happen anyway, why waste time pretending it is the political answer?

It’s not about ignoring gay marriage, it’s about ignoring rulings from judges that have no legitimate bearing on what is quite obviously a state’s rights issue. The states and counties should tell the judge to enforce his ruling and see how quickly he scurries back into the corner.

Seriously, what is the judge going to do?

First no one is doing it, and no one will, so why waste time on this.

People come up with all kinds of silly responses in regards to gay marriage, no one seems able to come up with a real united effort to defeat it.
