Might Kerry, if elected, have a hard time upholding his promise granting state-sanctioned married gay couples the same federal rights and benefits married straight couples? Granting federal rights to same-sex couples contradicts a major provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. The provisions state federal benefits for married people may not apply to same-sex couples and that judgments stemming from a same-sex union are not portable from state to state. While marriage and civil unions are not considered a "judgment" in legal terms, divorce, child support, and probate are judgments. What legal mess could arise if a partner dissatisfied with the litigated decision regarding divorce, in one state decided to litigate in another?

Four years ago this fall, we stood before an Episcopal priest and were pronounced married for life, for better, for worse. "Those whom God has joined together," the priest warned, "let no one put asunder."

One could wonder just who it was who joined them...

I quit reading during the first sentence, where it stated "the president announced that my gay family should be banned by the U.S. Constitution". What a load of crap. They'll be living together the same way they have been.

"I've fantasized about leaving this country since I was 12 years old, but never more desperately than last Tuesday, when the president announced that my gay family should be banned by the U.S. Constitution.

Yeh yeh. Cry me a river.
Buh bye. Don't let the door hit you in that well worn out ass.
PS....homosexual sex fetishists don't have families. They can't mate. They just borrow someone else's.

I'm sure the trial lawyers are almost beside themselves for joy at the prospects of wide-spread gay marriage !

The case law to arise ! The precedents ! And, best of all, THE FEES !!!

These people are grotesque and vile. They hate America, they hate 'us normals,' and above all, they *HATE* traditional morality.

[Salvey]

Sick wretch. As B.G. says, "It's sick out there, and getting sicker."

[johniegrad]

You're exactly right. That's where I stopped reading. What an alarmist.

[Paul Atreides]

Funny, how marriage is considered an outdated concept, just a piece of paper, and a form of slavery for the wife....unless when it is for homosexuals.

[Liberty Valance]

I sure hope he doesn't go away mad.

Suddenly, expatriation stopped being about wool berets and red wine at lunch.

Doesn't this say it all?

Homosexuality and bestiality are parts of Satanic rituals. Satanism is based on worldly pleasure now, because according to Satan there is no afterlife. He promises heaven while still in the flesh.

Boy, won't the Episcopalians who believe the seducing spirits and doctrines of demons be surprised when they die !!! "Hello. Welcome to your eternal home. Please, pull up a burning cinder. Have a seat."

"I've fantasized about leaving this country since I was 12 years old

By all means GO!

[concerned about politics]

"I want...I want...I want...I want....

Hey, I want a million dollars. Will this lesie give it to me?

[Paul Atreides]

Somehow, I don't think that leaving the country is what she has been fantasizing about since 12.

[mrtysmm]

You are quite correct, Sir!

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, great find!!
The sooner these pigs get their fat, disease-infested rumps out of here, the better. Canada is perfect for them. shame about the toddler, though. (How sick is THAT?)

[fight_truth_decay]

That was one of my first thoughts as well.

Ah. He's a she.
