What legislation was in place to prevent hetero couples from doing the same thing?

Isn't it ironic, they are clammering for bennies that are broke, i.e. SSI, Medicare, Medicade etc etc etc. It is like being the king of wishful thinking.

I am absolutely convinced that the root of many of our social problems lie in our monetary system. Money defines a society. Get rid of the Federal Reserve, and you cut off Progressive control of Government and long-term funding for their social engineering schemes. Consequently, 1000 socials ills few would have imagined are connected to our financial system begin the process of righting themselves.

DOMA was enacted to prevent federal benefits like SS, Medicare, federal survivor benefits, and other benefits to same sex marriages. It kept the federal definition of marriage to between a man and a woman.

F### 'em.

Guys and gals, find a same sex buddy for CLAIM purposes and benefits only, to pair up with and get "married", with a pre-nup that protects all your assets, no cost to each other for divorce, etc.

Then, you can get all the benefits of "Married" couples, apply as "Married" for jobs, etc.

Beat the faggots and dykes at their own game.....

Federal agencies already recognize gay unions with their health benefits. If you work for lets say the FBI and our part of gay couple you can get coverage of all health and other benefits for your partner at tax payer expense. This has been the fact for years.

Shockingly, as I look into the ruling I am actually finding myself agreeing with the court — this is a STATE issue not a Federal one.

IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE. The feds must decide on spousal benefits for things like SSN, Medicare, survivor benefits for federal benefits, spousal benefits for federal employees, etc. These are major issues with big bucks involved.

Unless more of the queer “marriage” ruling comes out later, the sodomites lost. They were looking for legal recognition in all states, for the federal government to say if they got married in NY then Alabama has to recognize it. They were looking for the court to say that states CAN NOT define marriage, by a vote of the people or any other way. So if this is the final ruling and nothing else comes out later, the fags in my opinion lost. The big loser is the Federal government because friends will be getting “married” just so they can cheat on taxes. Kennedy is a moron.

When filing income tax, same-sex couples will have to pay the “marriage penalty”, just like real married couples.

example of when something declared legal, is not morally right.

all laws are a reflection of morality. the question is, whose morality will the laws reflect, yours or someone else’s. this is why christians must be involved in government and working to make their views heard and applying pressure to get them implemented.

My first thought was, “What would our founding fathers tink of this?” I believe they would have been surprised that the most important issue of the day is buggery. They would be saddened that what they worked to create in the Constitution and the guarantee of basic rights in the Bill of Rights are being thrown away in a “Fundamental Transformation”.

Yes, lets blame a guy that has been dead for how many years and hasn't been President since 1989.

He was a great President by the way. Perfect no.

Exactly and that’s all this ruling does. It’s a joke.

Prop 8, No legal standing for the claimants. Only Fairy Brown and the State of California could contest the Appeals court decision, that would never happen. PUNT!

It’s over! I was in Seattle last week. Gay magazines on the newstands. Guys licking on eachother, etc. If angels from the Most High appeared today, some queer would try to faggocize them. We really had a good run. Over 200 years of G0d-fearing liberty. Now we have to live in this cesspool called America. “Even so come Lord Jesus!”
