George Takei's Marriage Rendered Illegal

There's also a Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

Yes and no. Salt Lake in this context is a metonym for the Mormon Church’s leadership (which is based in Salt Lake City). Like Berlin meaning the German government or Rome meaning the Catholic Church’s leadership.

Oof, that's a yikes, but I assume a proposition to immediately revoke that would be far easier to pass today than in '08, assuming our courts didn't strike it down first.

Fucked up situation, but I'd imagine even many conservative groups and the Republicans wouldn't want that vote to take place because it would force their regressive views into the light again and make it super clear that people who support them are actively supporting attempts to take away those rights.

Finding someone is actually no longer a problem. Girl or guy it does not matter. When I was young I used to have pains of loneliness. Not any more. I am so glad I do not have anyone all up in my business. The last person I actually wanted was my roommate friend because we lived together fine, and he did not want anyone in his bedroom either. I do not w3ant to have to wake up and please someone in any way. I do not want to be mean or angry with people, and the more they are around me and in my shit the more they irritate the fuck out of me.

The only reason I figure I used to want people was the world convinced me that I needed someone or else I was lonely. I destroy romantic relationships at about 2 weeks.

I think it's our nature to love people, but sometimes we all make that difficult. And don't give a fuck about what expectations the world has for you. You only go around once (supposedly), so let it rip your own way.

Assuming I do not love people is wrong. I may not have a million friends, and that is also by choice. I have people I love and enrich my life with theirs. I also do love shallow connections of love.

You are a preacher, aren't you? You are either that or a counselor of some sort. You remind me of my sister's mother in law. She is a catholic shrink. That woman backhand insults like no other. Her children are quite interesting and they all help themselves handle her. She asks a lot of questions like you do. You set people up for judgment. I know because I do it to.

I'm glad you've changed.

I'm not a preacher or counselor of any kind.

Haven't changed at all to be honest.

I do.

And I weep.

On that date I had told my wife about myself about 9 weeks earlier. But my mental state at the time was "just because I've changed my view on this one thing doesn't mean I'm gonna just go join the other (political) team" and so I spent literally YEARS pushing back against the question "what else did they lie to me about?"

Turns out, basically everything.

Respect. I totally hated Bill Clinton and most of my family had me convinced that I had the “wrong thinking” my entire life. So, it was very difficult for me for the longest time to realize the damage Bush II had made. But, now I realize my hatred for Clinton wasn’t his politics, but his personal behavior that I abhorred and still think a person like him should not have been any where near the presidency. In fact, I believe the Democrats staunch defense of him directly led us to trump and every other bullshit thing that is happening now. But, my point is, I do know how difficult it is to have to completely realign your rational thinking with the bullshit we’ve convinced ourselves.

Now that Roe v Wade has been fixed, maybe SCOTUS will do something about gay "marriage".

Ok.

I don’t think they should do anything about same sex marriage.

At least one SCOTUS justice would like to have a word with you.


There's almost certainly five others who'd agree with him, but they're not ready to stick their necks out. Yet.

Just divorce him already. Waiting on the Supreme Court will just take too long.

Why do you think gay marriage is something to be granted at the federal level but bodily autonomy for women should go to states?

I think most things should be decided at the state level; however, things that are already at the federal level should probably be left alone. Generally speaking.

Liar. You have zero integrity. You are easily swayed by the media. You don't have an original thought in your head.

Okay, miss thing.

It's too late for that. You voted for Gary Johnson, knowing he had no chance of winning. This is on you.

Bodily autonomy was already at the Federal level. And yet you didn't want it left alone.

Oh, I'm sure they won't actually do that. All Clarence Thomas did was ... explicitly say it.

He has no integrity. He only thinks what the media tells him to think. He is incapable of connecting those dots.

Actually I did.

And yet, that was not your answer when I asked specifically. Liar.

They'll revisit homosexual marriage, as they should. "The Constitution does not compel states to permit such marriages" Let's let the individual states decide, shall we?

Let's let individual states decide whether or not to ban whatever hateful church you attend too, shall we?
