I live in Mississippi so I'm uniquely qualified to say that Mississippi is an incredible steaming pile of poo poo, but at least it isn't Uganda.

I haven't seen it on the last two pages, but check out Oklahoma's new line of argument at http://bigstory.ap.org/article/lawyers-marriage-procreation-potential.quote:Lawyers for Smith argued that marriage is about furthering "potentially procreative sexual relationships into stable unions" rather than recognizing the love and commitment of two people. That's one hell of an argument

Are you a straight couple? Yes? Awesome. You love each other?? That's great, but completely irrelevant. So, do(es) your ovaries/womb/testes work? ...No?!

Since I've had a vasectomy and my kids are grown, does this mean I have to get a divorce? e: The brief posted:They (plaintiffs) reduce marriage from an institution that exists to benefit children and society, and relegate it to a mere stamp through which the government approves loving, emotional unions between adult couples Yeah, gently caress the idea of loving, emotional unions between adult couples as an individual and social good. joat mon fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Apr 2, 2014 |

some moron posted:They (plaintiffs) reduce marriage from an institution that exists to benefit children You could make child support an obligation in the absence of marriage (and you can have unmarried couples take care of children in lieu of formal marriage), so I'm not sure what marriage per se has to do with that...?

So that's what they've been reduced to? They're no longer even arguing against homosexuality. I think it says a lot about equality opponents when they with a straight face can argue that marriage has nothing to do with love.

Would this type of law also allow doctors and pharmacists to refuse service to anti abortion crusaders, or a locksmith to refuse service to gun regulation advocates? The stupid things it might allow are pretty scary, honestly.

I am not as familiar with the medical law as I should be but I believe that doctors can only refuse to treat someone on religious grounds if there is someone else that can do it instead. In other words you can't just let someone bleed out because you disagree with their lifestyle.

He was only the CEO very briefly (just over a week) and Mozilla was getting publicly slammed because of his Proposition 8 donation. It hit critical mass a few days ago because visitors of OKCupid who used Firefox got this page starting a few days ago:

I'm not really sure how to respond to that. Did the guy do anything other than give money to Prop 8 six years ago? I mean, it was wrong for him to do that, but for it to suddenly resurface days after his appointment seems weird. VVV Ah, there was something to confirm it recently. That makes more sense.

Yeah, he didn't come off well in that interview.quote:CNET: Is there some point at which the damage that is actually done to Mozilla and Firefox means it would be worth it for you to make a public statement directly in support of gay marriage rights, or to resign? Is the mission threatened to that degree?

He became CEO which made people care, and then when asked about it in an interview he didn't rule out continuing to donate to anti-marriage equality funds, which escalated the matter. The final blow was OKCupid publicly providing alternative web browsers on its site over the issue.
