In a sign of just how far weve come, I never dreamed of the day when I would be surprised to see the Amarillo Globe-News editorializing against same-sex marriage. The AGNs editorial board is pandering to its right-wing subscribers up in arms about a federal judges decision striking down Oklahomas marriage ban:
However, the U.S. Constitution does state, in the 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
When it comes to some social agendas, this constitutional right apparently does not matter.
Below is a pretty good takedown from the comments. If youd like to fire off a letter to the editor, go here.

(18,421 posts)It was regarding a trans couple who had found each other. The group that posted it had tens of thousands of followers. The poster commented about how weird and fucked up it was... and was promptly eviscerated by easily 90% of their own followers (many of whom became former followers as a result).
2014 is treating us very well so far. May it continue.

Meanwhile he mentions nothing about the actual people who are affected negatively by this crap, whose relationships are put and kept into a second-class status (actually NO STATUS) by them.
What a dick.
