HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) – A federal judge on Tuesday struck down Pennsylvania’s ban on same-sex marriage, the latest in a series of court decisions across the nation determining gay couples’ rights to wed.

The ruling makes Pennsylvania the 19th U.S. state to allow gay marriage in a trend that has gained momentum since the Supreme Court ruled last June that legally married same-sex couples are eligible for federal benefits.

I just love how for years, the homosexual lobby kept saying "Put it to a vote, the people want gay marriage", then after being defeated time and time again (even in California) in votes, it became "The people are too stupid to know what they want, we have to use the court to FORCE it". I am sick and tired of the gay, gay, gay being jammed down our throats all the time. You want to be treated like everybody else? BS! You want your collective ***** kissed! No more!

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

You said jammed down your throat.

 

[bmoritz]

LOL Yeah, I probably should've thought of a better way to say that.

 

[Rod Farva]

Shoved up your ***?

WNBA to Market to LGBT Community

Amid a surge of public opinion in favor of gay rights in the U.S., the WNBA is launching a campaign to market the league to the LGBT community, becoming the first pro sports league to specifically recruit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender fans to its games.

With the marketing campaign, the WNBA is capitalizing on what it has known for years: The community makes up a significant portion of its fan base. The difference now is that the league is talking about it publicly and making it a deliberate part of its marketing strategy.

The launch of the effort coincides with a surge of political and legal advances for the gay-rights movement in the U.S., and shifting public opinion behind many of those advances.

The campaign, which begins with the debut of a website Wednesday, includes having teams participate in local pride festivals and parades, working with advocacy groups to raise awareness of inclusion through grassroots events and advertising with lesbian media.

Seriously though, who else would go to woman's sporting event? Besides mud wrestling?

 

[Superman]

Seriously though, who else would go to woman's sporting event? Besides mud wrestling?

There is a survey floating around on the net, with over 500,000 responses. The question is, "Would you rather find $5 or have your local WNBA team win a championship?"


'Finding $5' is way ahead

 

[Ron Burgundy]

You want to be treated like everybody else?

I believe that gay people should have the same right to lose half their **** in a divorce as I did.

You want your collective ***** kissed! No more!

You said "***** kissed".

They want them kissed, licked, & pounded.

Women's tennis is awesome. It's like a porno film with all the grunting and groaning. Damn near makes me want to rub one out so I can't watch it for too long.

Pennsylvania becomes the 19th state to have their votes disregarded and gay marriage imposed upon them against their will.

Rights are not subject to legislation or judicial fiat. Gays have a right to be married, they have a right to the same spousal benefits as hetero couples. They don't have a right to force me to participate in the ceremony or cater the reception.

Marriage is not a right. Not even regular marriage.

Owning guns is an explicit right and there are tons of restrictions on that right.

matt is free association. Free association is a right. You are confusing religious sacrament with free association. do gays have the right to force your church to hold their wedding no because that violates your church is right to free association. Gays do have a right to all the same spousal privilege is a legal recognition that people marry in civil ceremonies have.

There are typically two components to a marriage, a legal component and a religious component. In a legal marriage you can have the legal without the religious (people getting married by the Justice Of The Peace) but not the religious without the legal. If the gummint says that two gay people can get married, well, it is what it is. If a church says we don't want to marry gay people they should have that right too BUT I guarantee in a few years the govt will force them to do it or lose their tax exempt status because they're not doing something the govt wants them to do, using the aforementioned interracial marriage as an example.

The Libs here and everywhere will couch it and say that isn't the goal and won't happen (just like BommaCare won't end up being single-payer govt healthcare ) but I guaran-damn-tee I'm right about that.

 

[oneforthebus]

When someone can give me one single solitary example of how gay people getting married affects my life in any way, I might give a **** about this.

 

[Sarge]

My nephews are both up in arms over this and I just don't get it. I told them to get out of Clarion, see another part of the country and perhaps the world. All kinds of people out there. Most of them aren't all that bad. Backwoods hicks.

marriage is not free association. Legally it is on par with driving. It is not a right.

You are claiming that if straight marriage is legal then gays must also be allowed to do it. This assumes that there are no laws that exclude portions of the public. That all laws apply evenly to all people. That's not true.

Personally, i don't really care if there's gay marriage or not but it scares me that a single judge can just throw out a law that the public voted for. It should scare everybody. Maybe you are loving it today because it fits your own beliefs but what happens when it goes the other way?

Is that what we're doing now? Just ignoring the laws and doing whatever twitter demands?
