*knock, knock* I have a cardiac arrest warrant with Antonin Scalia’s name on it
46 years ago tomorrow, the Stonewall riots “transform the gay rights movement from one limited to a small number of activists into a widespread protest for equal rights and acceptance.”
America! Fuck Yeah! Bringing down the flag of Southern Traitors and raising up the Rainbow Flag of tolerance. By all indications the Supreme Court of the United States may be about to take another step in the direction of extending equal rights and civil liberties to patrons of a gay bars in New York’s Greenwich Village and elsewhere.
The decades long guessing game of what the Supreme Court will do about gay marriage will end either Friday morning or early next week.
Proponents on both sides of the legalization issue are hoping for a victory, but several other theories abound about what the nine justices might do in this landmark case.
At stake are the marriage laws of 14 states — including Alabama — where lawmakers and voters acted to retain laws that define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Arrayed against them are dozens of court rulings in favor of gay marriage, backed up by hundreds of gay rights plaintiffs, gay marriage campaigns and fresh public opinion polls showing approval of the nuptials.
“It’s never wise to be certain, but we are certainly hopeful,” Mary Bonauto of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders has told supporters.
One of the best things about this (if it comes to pass) is that it is going to give Scalia a kanipshin fit.
It came to pass! Happy Friday, everyone!
Woo Hoo!
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has declared that same-sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States.
Suck it Antonin!!
Just read the Scalia dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges. It’s incredibly entertaining to watch and read as an old man stuck in the past completely melts down. So much fun. He actually use the word “hippie” as an quasi-epithet. How long before he becomes totally confused and starts to wander aimlessly around DC looking for “reds”?
“Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality [whatever that means] were freedoms? And if intimacy is, one would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie.”
hooo boy.
I’ve read that remark like 100 times… and other than it being an amusing use of “hippie” i have no clue what he is trying to say there. Its as if her is just stammering and pouting word vomit….. how could freedom of intimacy be abridged? I know…. trying to make sense of whatever Jabba the Dickhole is trying to say is like trying to fit a 1/4-20 bolt into a M8 hole….. but still… Im worried he might have suffered some catastrophic psychological trauma and should probably resign his position.
