My Gay Agenda

Joel said:
I want my partner and I to be able to have the same legal protections and benefits as any other couple who have been together for 14 years and I don't care what you call it, marriage or civil union, either on works for me. I don't want to lose my job because I get an a-hole boss who doesn't like those "fagg*ts." and lastly, not to have to worry about a health care professional refusing to provide necessary medical care to me because of their "religious freedom." ... That is pretty much the extent of my gay political activism.

My son lives alone in an apartment. I want him to get the tax benefits that gay couples demand. Therefore, since we are allowing arbitrary marriage arrangements, I think he should be able to partner with the family living beside to get the tax credits they get. If you don't think that's fair, you're a bigot.
 
The USA is going through a transition that's all.

Sadly we have, thanks to Trump, a majority of ultra right wing justices on the Supreme Court holding up the correct interpretation of the Constitution.

well that does not always work out that smoothly. I won't even tell you all the obstacles and how they can impact a capacity to replace that job and that income in a timely fashion. I will say that the funny thing about discrimination and bigotry, it tends to flow with certain 'co-morbidities' in geographic regions.

Not in my experience. I was demoted so replacing that income was fantastically easy.

Polygamous marriage isn't legal. Reynolds v. US.

Yes there must be a special place in hell reserved for those that use the name of Jesus to propagate hatred and prejudice.

We call them fundamentalist and white evangelical Christians. The previous name for them was Dixiecrats.

He thinks that cops are a violent force. Those same cops also show up to jaywalkers, people rolling through stop signs and litterbugs.

Oh, the drama...............

The insane Obergefell gay marriage ruling puts the Reynolds ruling in serious jeopardy since arbitrary arrangements have now been deemed legal. (This is why John Roberts said this was the least sound legal decision he had ever seen).

Marriage is still, only two consenting adults. How is Obergfell v. Hodges (LGBT marriage) different from Loving V Virginia (interracial marriage)?

What do you envision to be the negative social effects of the Obergfell decision in 20-30 years?

John Roberts should look at Citizens United, Heller, Bush v. Gore, or Kelo v. New London.

I don't know if I could. Possibly. I imagine it would have to be taken to the appellate Court because there's no real protection in Texas.

It might take a hard decision to decide if it was wrongful termination or not. My guess is not. I wouldn't have sued anyway because all that does is get lawyers rich.

1.) factually not true
2.) also not true. That is false, the way is NOT paved by this in the case deciding this the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. These arguments were made based on sexual orientation and gender discrimination.

While I have ZERO issues if people would like to fight for a right to have a polygamous marriage arguments cant be based for it on that can not be done using Obergefell v. Hodges any more than any other marriage laws/rights. So NO the way is not paved nor is it permissible for polygamous marriage and any other arrangement to now. Any arguments for those will have to stand on their own grounds and any arguments made for them that are related to current marriage exist with or without it being equal for sexual orientation.

You could sue a large company today in Georgia.

You can't discriminate against anyone based or age, sex or color...or sexual preference.

There are lawyers here who advertise clients victorious in such cases.
