...had to jump through. Gays shouldn't have to tie up the court system and they wouldn't have had to tie up the court
system if a lot more Americans had been just a little more open-minded than they presently are....
Why does that fact piss me off somewhat?
'cause people grip so much about their precious tax dollars (and mine) and then perform actions which spend a lot of tax dollars
that didn't need to be spent in the first place.
Christ...let them marry, be happy and mind your own business.

and pursuit of happiness.

Rightwing Churches were very fundamental in this activism against these gay American citizens and marriage equality.

i thought the supreme ct already did. and what about the equal protection clause .?

… only struck down a part of DOMA. They ruled that the federal government must recognize gay marriages preformed in states where it was legal. It did not address states where it was banned. There have been many districts courts decisions striking down those bans. Now it's moving to the circuit court level.

Hope that helps.

It is a shame they didn't actually rule as to the constitutionality of the gay marriage bans and just have it done with. IMHO this gives them an out if one or two of the cases are decided the other direction. I don't trust the felonious five, they are up to something.

The big-box retailer Target has announced its support for gay marriage by signing onto an amicus brief in a case before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. “It is our belief that everyone should be treated equally under the law, and that includes rights we believe individuals should have related to marriage,” said Target Executive Vice President Jodee Kozlak in a statement Tuesday.

Target joins a group of national companies signing onto an amicus brief filed in Wisconsin’s appeal of a lower court decision that struck down that state’s gay marriage ban. A similar case in Indiana has been folded into this case. Kozlak said Target already offers benefits to LGBT employees and families. In announcing the move, Kozlak couched the decision in both ideological and economical terms regarding the challenges created by having contradictory marriage regulations in different states.

“This position is particularly challenging for a large organization that operates nationally, such as Target,” Kozlak said. “Current laws — in places like Wisconsin and Indiana that are addressed in this brief – make it difficult to attract and retain talent … We believe that everyone – all of our team members and our guests – deserve to be treated equally. And at Target we are proud to support the LGBT community.”
