Is this what they’re talking about when they claim SSM will destroy “traditional” marriage?

So, will the State of Mississippi recognize only marriages performed by a church? Do these geniuses not understand that doing that might present just a bit of a Constitutional problem? Or will the State simply remove all laws that grant any sort of preferential status to married people, like tax breaks, inheritance, spousal privilege when giving testimony, etc., etc.?

and there were some places where integration “destroyed” the town pool … because once the pool was forced to be open to all residents, the reactionary town fathers closed & bulldozed it so there would be no ‘mixing’ … and that is the convoluted erroneous logic that is being spewed here.

Man…this is some seriously petty bullshit, but it falls squarely into the same category as the obstructionist or “we’ll show you!!!” bullshit these bigot motherfuckers tried to pull after Brown v. Board.
It’s like the 4 year old child who is soooo enamored with a toy when he’s the only on who has it…lording it over everyone on the playground and in the neighborhood and not letting them touch or play with it…but then when everyone gets their own, he suddenly couldn’t give a fuck about it because not being the only one to have it means it’s essentially “broken.”

¨We had to destroy marriage in order to save it.¨
Shades of Vietnam.

Interesting - if these states basically abdicate the role of formally issuing documentation recording & recognizing marriages - if they just disconnect from it - then would that then put the role of legally sanctioning a marriage up for grabs? Could the Federal government issue marriage licenses?

I wonder if they will nullify all existing marriages too.

According to my database, Andy is the clown back in 2012, who refused to apologize for putting on his Facebook page that gays should be put to death cause it sez so in Leviticus 20:13.
But then, when he got criticized, he started to backpedal, claiming that his post had been misunderstood and that he was only trying to say the gays were ‘morally objectionable.’

Oh, please oh please Republicans, destroy every single married person’s preferential income tax status rather than get the icky gay gayness cooties in your local government offices. And, while we’re at it, let’s utterly disrupt every single state’s divorce, property settlement, alimony, and child visitation schemes by making it unclear whether or not a person is entitled to the right to be treated as married. Please. The ignorant shitkicker goobers are just dying for you to do that to them.

So…If we don’t like the fair housing act, then we should just stop issuing permits for the building of houses???

That was an idea that occurred to me a few years ago. I think it’s the answer. Have the feds do it, and cut these lunatics out of the loop entirely. They can find some other pointless issue to grandstand over.

Yes, but the RFID chip implant required to ratify a Federal marriage would be objectionable to many people.
