At this point, I think this is the course for more conservative states to take (i.e. cease to issue licenses).

Anyone else ever notice how gay couples seem to made up one “masculine partner” and one feminine partner.

Confusion. It’s what satan has been about since he fell.

I ran it past my militant lesbian cousin and it sent her off the rails bitching about how I ruined the best day of her life.

She’s already decided that its fraud and would be illegal but can’t explain why.

The crazy thing is a very small percentage of gays will get married. Gays represent 3% to 5% of the population and I bet a large majority will not get married. The only good thing is now they get to experience Divorce!

Also, based on the ruling states have no choice. So why regulate it?

Yep. A generation or so ago, the states generally got involved to safeguard public health - requiring blood tests for syphilis, primarily. That role ended long ago, so the license fees are just helping to pay for bureaucrats' jobs. No point in continuing that.

Ever notice how statists HATE it when you find a way around their attempts to control you. Control freaks, all of them.

I for one will not attend any gay weddings. Period. I don’t care if it is one of my kids. They know where I stand.

The “blue” counties are jumping all over this in a breakneck attempt to be the first.

According to numerous articles on the subject that have been posted on FR over the years, you are correct in guessing that very few homosexuals shall marry. I recall some stats from Canada which showed the marriage numbers to be very low (about 10% or less, if I recall correctly).

Well, Texas, how about just telling the feds to screw themselves??

Okay, it’s now hitting my state. The “America” that is imposing this evil abomination onto my state is an “America” I truly hope to see die in my lifetime. The sooner the better.

If you love your children then you’ll want grandchildren, along with having your children enjoy the experience of having their own.

He knows neither will happen, so it was a sad day.

I pointed out that there was nothing in the court ruling that said I must be gay to enter a same sex marriage. There was nothing that says I or my “husband” couldn’t have live in girlfriends. There wasn’t even anything that says my “husband” and I would need to live in the same house.

Yes, I believe you’re right.

Boy, that must have really made her angry.

Frankly, really cynical people can take great advantage of today’s ruling. Let’s say that you have a male friend who has a job that includes excellent benefits. You could marry the friend JUST for the benefits, because, as you note, there is no legal requirement for either of you to be homosexual in order to enter into a “same sex marriage”.

So how is anyone to tell who is the rooster and who is the hen?

Masculine Women Feminine Men
which is the rooster which is the hen
It’s hard to tell ‘em apart today
And SAY...
Sister is busy learning to shave
Brother just loves his permanent wave
It’s hard to tell ‘em apart today
HEY HEY
Girls were girls and boys were boys
when i was a tot,
Now we don’t know who is who or
even what’s what
Knickers and trousers baggy and wide,
Nobody knows who’s walking inside
Those Masculine Women Feminine Men
