And a lot of other good and bad things including theistic governments. I am not an expert, but I believe a very strict and observant Jew was supposed to mourn the death of his or her child, if that child engaged in same sex activity. And Paul did us the "service" of "carrying forward" that general concept into the New Testament.

But, our country was supposed to separate church and state from the 1789 forward. And the 14th amendment of the 1860s was supposed to protect African Americans and also members of other minority groups who, by virtue of their small numbers, cannot protect themselves at the ballot box.

Sadly, people like Scalia say that group the 14th amendment protects does not include members of the GLBT community because the people who passed and ratified the 14th didn't have that in mind.

Hopefully, sanity will prevail if and when the SCOTUS decides this. Meanwhile, it's a good lesson about not focusing only on D.C. State Houses matter. City Halls matter. Even neighborhood and block associations matter.

Both are to mark the end of a life.

Seriously though, marriage is in every culture and is not unique to the cults of Abraham.

Kinda sorry to see the end of the fertility rites of Spring.

He was in a studio that was really small and there was no AC vent in the booth.

The simplest solution was to simply leave the door open between him and the production board where Kathy was sitting and the fans of the show used to delight in making her lose it in the background.
