New Mexico Supreme Court: Same-sex marriage legal
Seattle PI ^ | 12/19/2013 | Associated Press

Posted on 12/19/2013 10:40:05 AM PST by Alter Kaker

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's highest court has legalized same-sex marriage, declaring it is unconstitutional to deny a marriage license to gay and lesbian couples.

The state Supreme Court issued its ruling Thursday. New Mexico joins 16 states and the District of Columbia in allowing gay marriage.

Eight of the state's 33 counties have started issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples since August, when a county clerk in southern New Mexico independently decided to allow the unions.

Most judges are just terrorists in black robes.And then there's the ACLU...a proudly Communist organization since its very founding.And lawyers wonder why they command less respect than do used car salesmen.

“Voters (most citizens) in NY, NJ and MA are completely different than in Texas or Alabama.”

now i am perplexed ... if we had known the voters in CT were so completely different, we wouldn’t have wasted our time electing so many new Republicans to the state house since ‘08 ... which races are we supposed to concede? Esty CT-5? Himes CT-4? Are we to lobby the state house GOP to be supportive of gay marriage?

is John supposed to come out in favor of repealing DOMA?

cute.

You pinged me complaining that elected Republicans in blue (lib) states didn't take the lead in arguing against gay marriage, and I replied that given their liberal voters that elected them I was not surprised that they didn't.

You know you couldn't argue against that so you posted stupid dishonest stuff like :

now I am confused. You are calling for some Republicans to run on gay marriage? so which states do you want us to support gay marriage in? “

Make up your own straw man and and knock him down, You are not the least bit serious.

RE :”is John supposed to come out in favor of repealing DOMA?”

DOMA has been overturned by the SCOTUS 5-4 Einstein’

So wheres the evidence that he made opposing gay marriage his number 1 issue in CT?

OPPS here's what his website says

More importantly, the people in the 50 states can determine how they want their marriage and/or privacy laws to operate – the federal government should play no role in these decisions outside of the established federal Constitutional boundaries.

What??? You mean letting gays marry the same sex?

You are one of the most dishonest freepers that pinged me in a long time.

"NM Court Says Gay Marriage Constitutional Because Gays Can Responsibly Procreate and Raise Children Claiming that "same-gender couples are as capable of responsible procreation as are opposite-gender couples," the N.M. Supreme Court ...

I hate to break it to him but two queers can hump each other up the Hershey highway until doomsday and they will NEVER conceive a child. It's kind of a no-brainer that one...

If people's 'sexuality' is really part of their being, like race or sex, then there is no real case against it. That means the the fight is over and they just mouth the words to appease us.

nope, doesnt work that way, as with any sin, there is a choice to be made...even if it was a hereditary trait, which would seem odd, being that it requires hetero sex to pass it to the next generation, the choice could and should be made to repent and not do it anyways...

they could choose to NOT to participate, just as i should avoid pre-marital or any other sexual sin too...

and yes, there are still some people that 'wait til theyre married' , as they should according to Scripture...

i think "queer" is a better term, which simply means unusual...

well over 50% of the population is disgusted by butt stuffers, making the few percent of those who choose to do so, "queers"...

the marriage relationship is supposed to reflect the Glory of The Lord and His plans, the Design being a man and a woman, working together as one...

George Herbert Walker Bush defended the ACLU after he first criticized Michael Stanley Dukakis for being a “proud member” of the group.

My take on that is it wont get a vote in the House at all, but we can count on Reid to put it up for a vote in Senate with predictable results.

The latest action in Utah by an Obama appointee as well as the SCOTUS decision on CA marriage (basically Kennedy) tells me that all is lost, that Obama’s judicial appointees now feel free to make up and impose the right to same sex marriage in all 50 states.

Recall that Obama claimed he was against gay marriage when he ran in 2008, and its judicial appointees who will force it on us.

And they will be appointed on 51 in Senate.

Another way to phrase it, were gays designed to be attracted to the same sex by God's hand, the way there are blacks and Asians who are born as difference races?

Because once you agree with that then you make God an accessory to the sin. Then it isn't sin.

“tells me that all is lost”

that is your private opinion. You are entitled to your private opinion. But the Pro-Marriage movement has not taken that position.

The Marriage groups have not announced that “all is lost”.

Once again you ignore what I really wrote because that's inconvenient for you to reply to, as with all the others. You ONLY reposted few words of my sentence to sound relevant.

If you really disagree with what I posted (rather than just try to sound like you do) then tell me the plan to stop Obama judges from doing what that judge did in Utah, force gay marriage on the state?/

That is what you hit reply button to.

Hint : Posting here that you wont accept it doesn't change reality.

Your group??? Do they get newspapers, TV or the internet?

If not you better send them a telegram and tell them that the Gay activists are winning everywhere.

Hiding in a cave doesn't stop anything.

NOPE !!!

queers can NOT and should NOT be given a pass even if they claim to be 'born that way' any more than i should be given a pass for my sexual sin nature in having an internal SELF WILL to lust after wimmen...

all are required to repent and turn away from such sin...

the 'sexual revolution' simply began with allowing hetero sin, and the slope has always, in human history, degraded to the point we see today with queers being 'accepted' and 'tolerated' and eventually will be normalized and required if its allowed to made 'law'...

sounds way old school, i know, but sex is required by GOD to be reserved for marriage relationships, which was set in LAW with the first Man and his Wife in the Garden...

if queers or anyone else 'choose' not to believe, so be it, free will is a sharp sword that cuts us all to pieces without a Redeemer, called The Christ, whose Birthday is the 'reason for the season'...

Merry CHRISTmas guys, hope all are well in yer compounds...

You actually believe that being gay is a like race or sex like liberals claim?

You actually believe that their ‘sexuality’ and ‘sexual desire’ is the same as skin color and it is passed on by genes?

That this is Gods plan?

I cant accept that. Where is the proof?

So did Noah put two gays on the Ark before the Flood with all the other Kinds?

That’s not in my Bible
