Default Obama admin stops defending DOMA

I'm glad to see this, I know it is controversial to many but to me it is a step in the right direction.

Government should get out of marriage business. For civil purposes there should be civil unions for all (gay, straight, whatever). For those that attribute spiritual meaning to that union that would simply happen within the walls of their chosen place of worship.

Jug Ears never supported Homosexual Marriage, the California Beauty Queen used Jug Ears as an example of another celebrity that thought like she did.

Remember, Jug Ears is a politician, chronic liars, cheats and assorted ***** bums.

There can be no other option, IMO. Anyone who argues that the government should be involved in the personal lives of the People is a communist POS!

as long as same sex couples have the same rights as married couples. I think most people could give a $#!t.


call it a Gay Marriage, Civil Union, whatever makes you sleep better at night. But to be honest, gay people are people too. If they wanna dive into a lifelog partnership...so be it.


who cares? f YOU do then you are being intrusive, and sticking your nose in other people's biz, I'd hate to also hear that you are a conservative. That would make you a hypocrite.

I'm with you Holy. About twice a year we agree on something, and it scares me every time.

Serious question: When did the Federal Government get involved with marriages?

Right now I can down to Town Hall, show an ID, file the paperwork, then have a JP sign the marriage license for it to be official. I believe the process takes all of 3 days from filing to being officially married.

BTW: I have been to 6 or so weddings in the last few years and none of them were held at a Church or with a Pastor/Minister/Priest. I'm going to weddings in May and July and both will have a JP.
