Gay marriage bans fall in Idaho, Nevada after high court decision

Legal momentum for extending U.S. marriage rights to same-sex couples accelerated on Tuesday as a federal appeals court struck down bans on gay matrimony in Idaho and Nevada a day after the U.S. Supreme Court let stand similar rulings for five other states.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled the bans in Idaho and Nevada violated the constitution and cannot be enforced, adding to a growing list of states where same-sex unions are now legal.

"Idaho and Nevada's marriage laws, by preventing same-sex couples from marrying and refusing to recognize same-sex marriages celebrated elsewhere, impose profound legal, financial, social and psychic harms on numerous citizens of those states," Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote....

So now you can go to Vegas and get married the same day:

The elites in both parties are in favor of this ruling. The GOP elites get to throw up their hands (”Oh, dear!”), look like fussbudgets on the Sunday AM talkfests for a few weeks, and do nothing.

Time to end the government’s licensing of marriage. The state is not a bulwark for traditional mores. It is a vanguard for social change. The enemy is not a court ruling; it’s the state.

This is why I really don’t care about the country anymore. It’s beyond saving.

All 57 states will have same-sex marriage, with or without the supreme court, by Thanksgiving Day.

Who needs a vote besides illegals? Just watch TV and let the wise men in robes run the country from the bench.

At this point I’m just praying. God is well aware of the evil being perpetrated in this once Christian nation. He is patient, giving us all an opportunity to repent, but one day he will let loose His fury. My prayer is that He will spare the righteous from the intense suffering to come.

I never thought Idaho would have to pretend that gay “marriage” has anything to do with the real thing.

The apes on the High Court have spoken and we chimps have to listen and do whatever they say.

No we don't have to follow their abomination.
ANY church that tolerates the HOMOSEXUAL DESECRATION of marriage, is NOT A CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST's.

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Are there any men (or women) with spines in the legislatures of Idaho or Nevada? If there was ever a time for nullification, it is now. If there were evangelicals, Catholics, and Mormons with the courage to stand up to the perverts and their enablers in Washington, this issue would be over.

No kidding, but the real question is whether or not any of us will stick to God’s commandments regardless of the time we have the threatenings and/or peer pressure from worldly forces first. Then there’s the neccessary sacrifices too. I also must add that we must repent and call to repentance whomever we can before time is up.

More than likely from the worst, but at the same time, he allows us to suffer something. How else could he prove that we held fast? We have to win out with our faith versus the fear of men.

The whole country, certainly, but as I pondered about it, there are more than likely plenty of people living in it that are. That’s how the game has changed, it’s about saving individuals now.

The father of sodomite “marriage” in America, the worthless Anthony Kennedy throws Christians a bone for a couple of days. The Will of the People means absolutely nothing in this country. On what robed tyrants want. They are the masters, we are the slaves. Speaking of queer “marriage” in Idaho, if I were a sodomite that would be the last place I tried to get “married”. Too many good ole boys in the state that don’t cotton to queers and don’t cotton to the Federal gubment telling them what to do.

In Washington DC only Ted Cruz has the courage to tell the truth about the institution of marriage being destroyed by the sodomite lobby. I hope and pray that he gets the nomination and beats the old dyke like a drum. If not, this country will not last as nation very much longer. We will either have a spiritual awakening, with men of God at the helm, or the mighty wrath of God will come soon. He will not be mocked.
