I too live in Utah by choice. I have been immensely proud of our SSM marriage plaintiffs. I thought that they were crazy when they filed their suit after Windsor, but Judge Shelby in Utah DistCt ended up being the first federal judge to rule on the constitutionality of SSM after Windsor. His opinion is a model of clarity and good legal analysis - and it wasn’t even a close call. The state of Utah lost on Summary Judgment, which nobody expected. Having read a lot of the opinions, it seems to me that his opinion served as the model for all of the courts that followed.

Utah is a weird place, but it’s not all bad.

Looks like Huckabee is out. He said so right? He’s out trolling for men, that is.

Now all of the "regular’ married people in these states are going to be heavily impacted, because of the big difference of the very same couples that are already together and in love getting a license, oh nooooo!////

Ever notice that we never hear any positives coming from these hater states. It’s like they only exist to be mean, terrible, rotten, ugly and a pain. Well, with the positive of overturning their hatred as the exception.

Shameful comment. Truly.

First, have you no empathy? We Christofascists are being further and further repressed with every gay marriage and our children are now going to be openly recruited by Rainbow ACORN into the gay deathstyle.

Second, the joke is on you. You can’t hear our tiny little brains exploding, because we are all deep in underground shelters. Gawd 9-11’d the USA, because we tolerate gay, even us Christofacists. Oh, them gays calls us intolerant, but we hardly never spit on them and I even gave one directions once for how to drive out of town. Gawd isn’t going to knock over a few buildings in Njew York City this time, and he isn’t just going to wreak his vengeance on liberals and heathens and politicians and what all you got in Boston and Njew York and DeeCee. This time, it is Real Americans in the Real United States of America. It is gonna be ugly: floods of boiling frogs; lettuce, iceberg lettuce, turning into arugula; and Angels smiting good Christofascist fathers with the knowledge that their teen daughters have already had sex.

As it happens, I moved here from Texas, and found it pretty easy to adapt. Politically, the two states appear to be similar, but I find that the Utah Righteouslature is far more predictable than the Texas equivalent. Here, they’re wrong about everything, but you know going in exactly what kind of wrong you’re going to get when they’re done.

In Texas, they’re both wrong and insane. It’s not a good combination, but you already know that. While we have some loons here, we don’t have anyone on the order of Louis Gohmert, though Mike Lee can certainly give Ted Cruz a run for his money.

And yes, the comments section at SLTrib.com is a great place to see how the minority thinks around here.
