Merry Christmas to all the gay people of Utah!

Wow, this is really amazing!

That link is not clear to me. Has a denial been issued for the 9 am Monday court hearing???

This way, TSCC won't have to Front lots of money/energy in their efforts, the state is their pimp.

"I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if thousands of homophobes are crying out in terror..."

OH THE HUMANITY!

and, another reason for TSCC to HATE Federal Judges/Federal Authority - Intervention!

Let the weddings begin!

How odd that it turned out be the True Blue Mormons who are weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth. Is being Mormon in Utah really Outer Darkness? Joke's on them.

I liked this comment from that article, apparently that quote is not in court documents, Some bias from the news reporter perhaps?


"Not exactly what’s going on here. >>“In effect, the district court decided to impose its own view of marriage on Utah regardless of the fact that Utah had democratically chosen the man-woman definition of marriage and regardless of the fact that the district court’s view might be rejected by (the Supreme) Court,” court documents state.<< Someone said this perhaps, but not the judge, and certainly not the Supreme Court. The judge actually rejected the view that the majority could impose its will on the minority, because it could not find irreparable harm to the majority. And the concept of majority rule, even if by democratically determined, overwhelming majority agreement, is not a principle on which this country was founded or operates on a day to day basis. Come on, a state like Utah exists only as a majority within its own borders, every Utahn should hope that the rights of a minority can never be so casually cast aside. Make the "democratic majority" argument until you are blue in the face, say it again and again and again, and it may make you feel better, but it is a fundamentally flawed concept of equal protection v. majority rule. Move on."

What the majority can't do is vote away someone's rights. You know, like the majority can't decide Mormons aren't entitled to religoius freedom.

Yes, I think WE should make a rule with Mormons that if they persecute someone for wanting a non-traditional marriage and/or stand in the way of their practicing their beliefs about marriage, then those Mormons forever and for all time give up their right to whine about the unfairness of their ancestors being persecuting in a similar manner centuries ago.

One of my favorite quotes, which I've used any time TBMs have pulled this nonsense about the gay marriage thing:

"Majority rule will only work if you're considering individual rights. You can't have five wolves and one sheep vote on what they want to have for supper." - Larry Flynt
