The real issue is going to be when the Supreme Court rules on the full faith and credit clause. Tom Send a noteboard - 26/06/2011 02:43:23 PM
I'm glad NY did this, but states like Utah won't ever recognize gay marriage until they're forced to by Federal law (or Federal court decisions).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I'm actually not opposed to this. Dragonsoul - 25/06/2011 03:48:32 PM 619 Views
Makes sense to me. Joel - 25/06/2011 04:00:07 PM 840 Views
I'm not sure why there was even any need for such explicit protection. Legolas - 25/06/2011 04:04:47 PM 616 Views
There are two reasons, depending on ones position on the issue. Joel - 25/06/2011 06:04:27 PM 667 Views
Meh, you never know. Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 12:58:37 AM 758 Views
so in your only Catholics are really married? random thoughts - 26/06/2011 12:04:07 AM 622 Views
Church Doctrine. Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 12:57:39 AM 748 Views
That is simply not true Roland00 - 26/06/2011 08:20:59 AM 686 Views
Yes it is. Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 05:14:29 PM 693 Views
That's patently wrong in that Orthodox weddings are explicitly recognized by the Church. Tom - 26/06/2011 02:42:00 PM 639 Views
Yeah okay... Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 05:16:05 PM 678 Views
They are outside of the authority of Rome, and have, on occasion, excommunicated Popes. Dannymac - 27/06/2011 05:03:31 PM 651 Views
Are you sure about this? Camilla - 30/06/2011 04:47:57 PM 543 Views
Dragonsoul is wrong Roland00 - 01/07/2011 09:21:43 AM 693 Views
Glad to hear it. *NM* Legolas - 25/06/2011 04:05:15 PM 240 Views
Seems fine to me Isaac - 25/06/2011 05:44:30 PM 615 Views
Voting on civil rights constitutes tyranny of the majority, not legitimate democracy. Dreaded Anomaly - 25/06/2011 09:37:28 PM 747 Views

Good luck telling that to the deeply religious right. Great Lord of Chaos - 26/06/2011 03:20:04 AM 610 Views
I am a deeply religious member of the right, and I tell them that all the time *NM* Isaac - 26/06/2011 03:30:14 AM 263 Views
Then you're a rare person. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 26/06/2011 03:36:11 AM 261 Views
After a number of years of gay marriage Helene - 26/06/2011 06:57:07 AM 584 Views
That's more or less true of virtually everything, not a great example Isaac - 26/06/2011 07:09:03 AM 611 Views
People shouldn't turn their own religion and/or opinion into law Helene - 28/06/2011 07:33:48 PM 602 Views
I don't recall mentioning religion beyond confirming that I was religious Isaac - 28/06/2011 08:22:51 PM 653 Views
I admit I wasn't replying to you directly Helene - 29/06/2011 07:20:10 AM 607 Views
I think you should give this subject a bit more thought Isaac - 29/06/2011 02:16:04 PM 655 Views
I'll address the bulk of this later Helene - 29/06/2011 07:58:48 PM 535 Views
Believing things without strong supporting evidence is not rational. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/06/2011 12:11:33 AM 716 Views
Requiring different degrees of proof for things isn't particularly rational Isaac - 30/06/2011 01:14:44 PM 784 Views
I require the same standard of evidence to be confident in anything. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/06/2011 07:43:51 PM 1178 Views

We're gonna have to pick this up another time Isaac - 01/07/2011 04:37:25 AM 625 Views
No, I used the word irrational to mean that it's not rational. Helene - 30/06/2011 09:12:19 PM 643 Views
Fair Enough Isaac - 01/07/2011 04:32:44 AM 685 Views
Btw, in case you were wondering, I do like you Helene - 01/07/2011 02:17:42 PM 690 Views
Re: Voting on civil rights constitutes tyranny of the majority, not legitimate democracy. Dreaded Anomaly - 26/06/2011 10:38:56 PM 791 Views
I think you should give your fellow citizens a bit more trust and respect Isaac - 27/06/2011 05:41:52 PM 584 Views
I'm all for occasionally forcing stuff down people's throats... LadyLorraine - 28/06/2011 11:44:12 AM 579 Views
My expectations are guided by psychology and history. Dreaded Anomaly - 28/06/2011 07:08:06 PM 696 Views
That's good to know, most of us do that, though we usually just call it common sense and experience Isaac - 28/06/2011 08:55:23 PM 724 Views
No, most people don't do that. Reasoning from cognitive biases and anecdotes is much more common. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/06/2011 12:18:40 AM 635 Views
Perhaps, you seem to be claiming not do that yourself though Isaac - 30/06/2011 01:40:57 PM 731 Views
Empire State Building was lit up in rainbow colors, looked cool *NM* beetnemesis - 25/06/2011 08:21:03 PM 270 Views
Good. *NM* ironclad - 25/06/2011 11:41:30 PM 247 Views
I approved that years ago. They are way behind. Granted, I have no authority over anyone... TaskmasterJack - 26/06/2011 12:22:33 AM 513 Views
