Same-sex marriage coming to Utah

[Jeff Lebowski]

Church responds:

http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/supreme-court-decision-will-not-alter-doctrine-on-marriage

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acknowledges that following today's ruling by the Supreme Court, same-sex marriages are now legal in the United States. The Court's decision does not alter the Lord's doctrine that marriage is a union between a man and a woman ordained by God. While showing respect for those who think differently, the Church will continue to teach and promote marriage between a man and a woman as a central part of our doctrine and practice."

Straight white people seem to have never been happier with civil rights, if FB is to be believed.

So if Prop 8 was "our Gettysburg" for gay marriage foes, gay marriages being performed in Utah is the end of the Siege of Petersburg. Grant has patiently and methodically ground Lee to a pulp and Sherman has completed his march to the sea. Except for some mop-up action and a few skirmishes, this war is over and done.

From 12/23/2013. I would give myself a "swish", but it wasn't a particularly difficult prediction to make.

So I wonder how long it will take for people to start pretending they didn't fight against gay marriage. Not very long, I predict. (admittedly, another easy prediction )

Don't bring the confederate flag into this debate, have you no tact?

I would guess about as long as it took those who predicted this and wished for it, to start taking their victory laps and mocking those who disagreed.

OK, you've got a point there.

But I 'liked' only 3 posts, I swear!

I only liked Dwight's post, but it was funny*, darn it!



*As proof, I submit the fact that LAU whiffed on it.

I wasn't really mentioning anyone from CS, one former CSer is all in though. I have a nephew that is comparing today to the emancipation, that might be a little bit of a reach.

also since you were only predicting this in 2013, no you don't get a swish for that. we have been discussing this issue since back on CG. this was a legal inevitability.

as far as your other point, I am guessing LA Ute is already weeping on the side of the road!

While I'm not opposed to states allowing gay marriage, I side with the dissent on this because I feel like the court short-circuited the democratic process. States were eventually going to legalize it anyway, so this whole thing reinforces the notion that the will of judges, not the people will rule the country. The majority opinion that same-sex marriage bans interfered with the freedoms of "expression, intimacy, and spirituality" is total bullshit.
