Our homostruggle will never be over until every Christian marriage is annulled and anyone who won't recant the Faith is forced to consummate a gay incestuous marriage with the family dog.

Patter Song posted:They're debating over a stay, not over taking the case. The case would still need to make it through the 10th Circuit before the Supremes weigh in. And the 10th circuit denial of the stay said the petition was not "likely to succeed on the merits," for what that's worth.

On the "Gay Marriage Changes Hearts and Minds Toward Acceptance" front, my superreligious born-again conservative Christian father, who started going to Exodus ministries and lapping up all of their horrible bullshit years ago when I told him I was dating a dude kind of maybe implied that gay marriage isn't the end of the world this Christmas. He told me about having dinner with a classmate of his from way back in his MBA days, and the guy lives in California and married his partner as soon as he was able...then said "It seemed like it really meant a lot to him to be able to do that." Thus, I am now a gay marriage in Texas opponent, because the second it passes my parents will be on me to get married just like they're turning up the pressure on my baby sister to marry her boyfriend and start pushing out kids. I'll be damned if I'm gonna deal with that: Greg Abbot for Governor!

One of the most stupid/sweet moments in my first holiday out was my old rear end aunt who seems to have a mental tic where she cannot have a conversation with a young adult without mentioning having kids telling me 'well a baby you get from Asia is just as good as any other kind of baby to have'. Thanks crazy aunt

You don't have to convince me, buddy. When I'm ready to have kids it's adoption all the way. There are too many unwanted children out there, so why make another one when I can make a difference to one who exists already? Also, if I have a biological son, you know he's probably just going to be some homo, and then I'm going to be the creepy old dad who hits on my son's hot young boyfriends and I'll be damned if I let that happen to me.

If you adopt, you can't really be sure what orientation the kid will have. Make peace with being a dilf now. Also congrats on your dad being slightly less terrible, it's another example of the idea that nothing cures homophobia like knowing a gay person (though of course that's sadly not sure-fire).

Brian Camenker, founder of MassResistance, on his trip to Jamaica to keep the "Anti-Buggery" laws on the books: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om62eolTrQU Before him, Porno Pete went to Jamaica to do the exact same thing. Is it me, or have these subhumans picked the world's most frightening handicaps? Well, I'm sure it benefits the gay bashers in those countries who beat, torture, and murder LGBT people, flying in first class to those countries. And how was that paid for? By the generous donations of loving Christians to spread the love and peace that is Jesus Christ, by any means necessary!

My favorite part is that the horrible bigot was introduced as someone who fights to keep people from having things imposed on them. The imposition here, of course, being no longer allowed to use the law to persecute gay people. Oh my God, he ended his speech with a MLK Jr quote: "A law which does not follow God's law is no law at all"

Hey guys, anti-equality is actually creating jobs, as the State of Utah prepares to spend $2 million to bring in outside legal help for their appeal. (In great part because the Attorney General's office is both incompetent and recovering from a recent scandal which ousted the previous AG.) Why do you hate job creators?

It seems like it took forever for an "emergency" but Utah as of a few minutes ago has officially requested an emergency stay from Sotomayer. Edit: So from the request Utah is arguing that an emergency stay is warranted because if they get married and then the courts void their marriages they will be irreparably harmed financially and emotionally.

^^^I missed that part. This is the best application. Application for a stay pending appeal tl;dr Windsor was not about the right to same sex marriage so none of that equal protection stuff matters and you must defer to Baker.  There is also a section on  .quote:Another indication of a good prospect of reversal by this Court is that the district court's decision squarely conflicts with this Court's decision in Baker v.

It also cites the completely discredited Regnerus study. They are really grasping at straws here, it would be extra icing on the cake if the Supreme Court rules based on a completely incompetent and ridiculous defense from Utah.

Utah probably wouldn't even be able to void the marriages; if there's one thing that the courts have been consistent on, it's that any marriages legally entered into remain valid even if you cannot legally enter into the marriage any more (Article 1, Section 9, yo).

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:On topic of LGBT news I was almost confused to see these two events next to each other because the Boy Scouts' new policy prevents people from promoting causes while wearing their scouting attire. That includes gay pride parades. BSA's new policy is still pretty offensive even though they do allow gay Scouts to join. They still prohibit adult gay scouts from holding leadership positions. "We're totally cool with you being gay, but once you turn 18, think of the children and get out!" For what it's worth, hopefully that will change now that admitting gay scouts hasn't cost them a significant amount of support from churches.

The "Campfire" thing, at least around here (Austin), is virtually a hippie cult, so I wouldn't count them either. (It's not really a "cult" I guess but it's stereotypically "Austin".)
