34?

I think it's 33. Decisions are coming sown on a daily basis and a judge in Kansas has set up a showdown on Friday there. Will they be next? Or will another one finally get on the right side of history before then? One thing is for sure, I am still screwed here in Florida.

Regardless, I don't see it see it being a long battle at this point.

so will Texas. That will lead to the handful of sparsely populated states that it is fact. "North Dakota, it's for Queer hunters"! license plates aren't going to go over well. Florida is due to flip on January 5, only because administratively they have to get their crap together for what is going to be a deluge.

They will blow where the wind goes, and clearly, it isn't in favor of denying marriage to those that wish to enter into a life-long commitment of cherishing, being loyal and loving those they marry.

Anyone that thinks it is vile needn't go to a gay marriage ceremony, but once it is legal, I can guarantee you that MANY will receive invitations whether they wish to celebrate or not.

Texas has the same problem as Florida does, and some of our most populous states. They have to handle logistics. Wyoming as a state might have ten people want to marry, not a problem. They have low population density. Idaho wasn't a problem, either. Texas and Florida are another kettle of fish, as New York and California were.

They have high population centers, and then ... areas (counties) where nobody lives there except cows, farmers and agriculture areas.

Like Jim Baker did 20 years ago.

Gawd did not save America.

It's apocopocolypsy time for them!

Ka-boom!

Or some such place.

...Bill stole my line!

It's just to good right now not to.

Last year after the Windsor ruling with SCOTUS, I said we would have Marriage Equality within 5 years. I was laughed at and said we will get there but not anytime soon and not in my time frame.

Thank God I am always one to go against the grain.

Also President Obama just announced that he believes that Marriage Equality is covered under the U.S. Constitution & said it should not be up to the States anymore. Coming from a President and a man with his background in Constitutional law, that's huge!

I happened to have posted the article about the Presidents words here. Yes it is huge! I love my President!

You know what links are don't you?

Such a senseless tragedy. We will never forget.

I work for the state and it's open enrollment. I just noticed that today. I think the ruling was, what, last week or the week before? So that's damn quick.

And the state is telling clerks they need to register same-sex marriages or run the risk of being fired. Sometimes change happens quickly.

I have not heard any talk at work about this at all. I don't read the paper, so I can only imagine what the letters might say, but I haven't heard a lot of negativity anyway.

I'm blown away that such a change could come to such a place as that.

I wouldn't have ever imagined this happening back in the day. But I'm happy for the state and for my friends who are still there.


Whereabouts? (I grew up in Sheridan.)

Ultimately all I took away from living there was a hatred of wind and snow.

K and R

I guess it depended on when the court cases made it through the system. For instance Oregon was about the 20th or something (can't remember for sure) and I consider it pretty progressive.

It's almost to the point where the real hard cases are left. Maybe that's good since the dominoes are falling so quickly.
