I understand that some people should get divorced, but it hasn't even been two years since gay marriage licenses started being issued in Washington D.C.

Maybe they should just be happy with what they've got. Hopefully they just want the freedom to get divorced if they choose to.

Doesn't marriage imply divorce.

Well, they wanted it and (in some places) they got it. And they got exactly what they were asking for.

The 46 trillion Farkers who all thought they were being incredibly clever with the whole "gay people should have to suffer the same as everyone else" thing are getting a kick out of this...

The next time that the Mormons sent 12-year-old girls to my house in some "defense of marriage" petition drive, I'm going to say: "Go home and kill any relatives who have had a divorce. That'll defend marriage."

also, it's always about "our rights" with you people. Why are you all so farking selfish? What about the rights of regular people like me? What about my right to not have to think about two men entering into a legal, voluntary contract? Ever think of that, you farkin narcissist?
 
2012-01-10 10:45:04 PM
Aren't most divorcees gay, I mean they have gotten out of a bad marriage and are looking for fun now. They can pay their own bills, that is what alimony is for.

Hey, Newt had a damn good reason for getting divorced. He loved America SO MUCH! Sure, he also wanted to diddle his staffers, but that just shows that he loved America SO MUCH!

The Goodriches, the couple that sued the state of Massachusetts and won the right to marry each other, were divorced just five years after the wedding.

Apparently, the strain of ushering in a new era of civil rights in this country hurt their relationship.
 
2012-01-10 11:00:56 PM
We went through this stupidity in Rhode Island while I was still there. It's just ridiculous.

Just amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and be done with it already. Enough political jackassery.

Definately the first two. I'm pretty sure you were being sarcastic, but I don't care either way.
 
2012-01-10 11:05:40 PM
And I've said all along that the ones that were going to come out ahead in gay marriage were the divorce lawyers. Appears I was correct.

My uncle and his partner of 30 plus years never had such 'luxury'

FTFA: The bill would let gay couples who married in Washington get divorced even if they no longer live in the district, provided they live somewhere that would not recognize their divorce. Under current law, one member of the divorcing couple has to live in Washington for six months before starting divorce proceedings.

Yea that whole states rights thing and separate yet equal is working out so well we need more laws.

/I'm sick of this. Let any couple get married or none.
//special laws needed show it isn't equal.
 
2012-01-10 11:25:53 PM
that should be a pretty simple bill to pass, since gays can't marry anyway.

Gay divorces?

We call that 'cause and effect' boys and girls.

There are some golden comments.

Who will pay the gay child-support for each couple's mass of adopted designer-babies from every continent?

Gay men are being deprived of their God given constitutional right to have an abortion...Until this is remedied, they will never be equal.

The only people who really ever cared about Gay Marriage were Trial Lawyers and Divorce Attorneys.
The idea that all these gays were just dying to engage in Holy Matrimony nonsense from he start. A make work program for DNC connected lawyers.

Can anyone explain to me how marriage (a religious sacrament) can lawfully be regulated by the state?

Marriage is a tripartite contract to extend the bonds of family by law instead of by blood. The religious bit is entirely extraneous.

Because they give you a license, but it's a bit backwards: A driver's license will let you go anywhere. A marriage license makes you stay put.

And you can say this with certainty, can you, given that the institution of marriage predates recorded history? Who the fark are you, the Highlander?

While marriages may or may not take place in a place of worship, ALL divorces take place in a court of law, which is proof that all "marriages" are legal entities, rather than religious constructs. Further, all marriages are civil unions; but not all civil unions are marriages.

Denying two consenting adults the ability to join together in such a civil union impedes their civil rights.

/In three weeks, my parents will celebrate 44 years in a now same-sex marriage.
//My parent transitioned from male to female when I was in my teens & they stayed committed to "Let No Obe Rend Asunder" their vows.

Because they aren't regulating the religious aspect, they are regulating the legal aspect.
