DOMA struck down

[BBC 08]

It's official. SCOTUS declared DOMA unconstitutional.

[Masterofreality]

Right.

Let's focus the nation on a minor 3.5% of the population's problems so you can deflect attention from a 7.5% unemployment rate and a remaining crap economy with no improvement in site. Let's also talk about ridiculous climate change and carbon caps while China, who has no controls at all, is coddled and just spews free.

That's all well done Mr. President and the lapdog media.

I agree with this 100%.

That said, the decision to declare DOMA unconstitutional was a good one. I am happy for the gay people in this country and hope this decision provokes further change.

Why they want to get married is beyond me.....but I say that about anyone considering nuptials.

[GoMuskies]

Yay, I guess. OK, I actually didn't care either way. Though I'm excited to see waggy's response.

[Milhouse]

I don't understand this argument...So the government shouldn't focus on something if only affects 3.5% of the population?

What about less than that? Should the government not have wasted money on aid for Oklahoma City? I mean that affected far less than 1% right?

[GoMuskies]

It's a well-known fact that the government can only do one thing at a time (if that).

[Masterofreality]

Just speaks to misplaced priorities, or at least the priorities that make someone look "sensitive and concerned" while stepping away from the real issues.

[Milhouse]

Just speaks to misplaced priorities, or at least the priorities that make someone look "sensitive and concerned" while stepping away from the real issues.

So you're against this because it doesn't affect you directly? Or because it affects such a small portion of the population? Doesn't seem like much of a reason to be against something.....

[Masterofreality]

Who said it didn't affect me directly, and who said I was against it?

The major networks all have "special coverage" going on over this that 96.5% of the country doesn't give a damn about meanwhile, major problems that are being paperd over by a ridiculous Fed bond buying program are ignored....and those affect 100% of the country.

Let's all make a horrible President look good, though. That's what it's all about.

Just because something doesn't affect doesn't mean you don't care about it.

Unemployment doesn't affect me as an employed person. So should I not care about it? Women's rights or Black rights doesn't directly affect me as a white man so should I not care about them? Just as homosexual rights don't affect me as a heterosexual doesn't mean I shouldn't care about them?

[muskienick]

I expect we will be here until the apocalypse waiting for a post that will bring us all together on:
This recent decision
The quality of the job any sitting President is doing
Solving the problem of illegal immigration
Curing the woes of the health care industry
Social Security --- how will it be funded adequately and fairly
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.

It's ridiculous to think that 96.5% don't give a damn about this issue. For starters, I think the gay population is more than just 3.5%. Secondly, people that aren't directly effected by it probably still care about it because it effects someone they know.

Now, to your point about there being a lot of other shit that we are unable to get done, I completely agree. But to say that only 3.5% of the population cares about this is way way way way way off.

[94GRAD]

I'm pretty sure the POTUS has nothing to do with what is heard before the SCOTUS.

[GoMuskies]

His Justice Department DOES decide which cases to bring and defend on behalf of the U.S., though. So he has some role.

[chico]

It's kind of amusing that many of the people who were cursing the Supreme Court over their voting rights decision are now praising it for this decision. Sounds a lot like your typical Xavier fan.

I get what your saying MOR. Obviously 3.5% is a bit of an exaggeration, but the majority of America will take the viewpoint of "Good for them, but let's move on to more pressing issues that affects a larger percentage of American people." Most of America doesn't really care what one man chooses to push his meat into, but sensationalizing it on TV like they are some foreign creatures for being gay is a bit excessive. We are all just people no matter what sexuality so big deal. The Federal Benefits and whatnot they now get aren't going to mean anything before long anyways if the country can't control spending, create jobs, etc. and continues to swirl down the crapper.

[XU 87]

From a constitutional standpoint, it's a very, very poor decision, irrespective of one's views on gay marriage. It's simply another Supreme Court decision where the Court creates a right out of thin air.

[stophorseabuse]

What I find shameful was the effort put in by so many to discriminate against these people, when it cost none of their opponents AANYTHING.

My favorite part of being American is how legally we ALWAYS progress away from discrimination and work toward equality. Simple minded conservatism (not financial or fiscal conservatism) always fails in this nation over time. Each generation is more accepting. I split politics between progressives and stallers. It's just a matter of patience but progressive ideas always win out, especially when dealing with human rights.

Religious principles do not trump human understanding forever in America.

A good libertarian argument. But we discriminate against people all the time. Should we allow bigamy if everyone is agreeable who is involved?

[xubrew]

Religious principles should not come into play at all. Religious institutions still have the right to not accept homosexuality into their institution, and people have the right to not join and not be influenced by that institution if they so choose. Nothing has changed in that regard.

I'd rather see freedoms created out of thin air than restrictions created out of thin air, although there was a significant movement for this, so I wouldn't go so far to say that it was created entirely out of thin air.

http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/research/census-lgbt-demographics-studies/how-many-people-are-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender/


From that very article....


An estimated 19 million Americans (8.2%) report that they have engaged in same-sex sexual behavior and nearly 25.6 million Americans (11%) acknowledge at least some same-sex sexual attraction

I don't think it's too crazy to assume that some of those 11% "give a crap." You were saying that only 3.5% did. Many people that aren't gay still give a crap. I also think it would be very easy to find a study indicating that it is more than 3.5%, but even if that is the correct percentage, they're not the only ones that give a crap.

[Masterofreality]

Just because something doesn't affect doesn't mean you don't care about it.

Unemployment doesn't affect me as an employed person. So should I not care about it? Women's rights or Black rights doesn't directly affect me as a white man so should I not care about them? Just as homosexual rights don't affect me as a heterosexual doesn't mean I shouldn't care about them?

Unemployment DOES affect you. In numerous ways. More crime, more deficits that make liberals call for more taxes, more social welfare programs, deteriorating neighborhoods, buildings and deteriorating society in many ways. It affects 100% of the country in some form.

Stating that "unemployment" doesn't affect you as an employed person is the most ludicrous, crass and insensitive thing you could say. This from someone who is seemingly "sensitive" to the downtrodden's plight.

That means that 4.7% of the folks were drunk and experimented. They are not getting married. 3.5% are Gay. They care. Minor numbers in any case.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

From a constitutional standpoint, it's a very, very poor decision, irrespective of one's views on gay marriage. It's simply another Supreme Court decision where the Court creates a right out of thin air.

So much fail here, all the supreme court did was affirm that it's a "State's" right to determine whether any person in their state can marry any other person in their state as long as they are adults. What the hell is so wrong with this???? It would in turn grant same sex partners certain rights to family healthcare and death benefits.

If you don't like what your state is doing move out of it to a more religious state that wants to tell you what you can and can't do based on the Bible.

Public reps here, this is well said.

It's high time government recognizes Civil Unions and not marriages. You get your government civil union which in turns grants you family healthcare and rights upon a spouses death. Then find a church who will marry you and you get your marriage. The system is already in place, we just have to change marriage certificates to read civil union certificates and viola.

This would seem to go against homosexual's right to "Pursue Happiness", although some might argue whether marriage equals happiness.

You gave a mature somewhat reasoned argument in the first paragraph, albeit incorrect. The Supreme Court did much, much more than what you say and they did not simply state that it up to the states to determine their marriage laws.

But then you had to resort to that emotional nonsense in the second paragraph. Too bad. My guess is that you are against stereotypes, but yet you stereotype people who are against gay marriage. There's no standard like a double standard.

[nuts4xu]

I think it will be a legal mess until all states have the same gay rights.

The states will need to ratify a lot of their laws to account for the rights of legally gay married people.

[nuts4xu]

If current marriages end in divorce nearly 50% of the time, I have no idea why gay people are so anxious to become part of the statistics.

But then you had to resort to that emotional nonsense in the second paragraph. Too bad. My guess is that you are against stereotypes, but yet you stereotype people who are against gay marriage. There's no standard like a double standard.

The justices issued two 5-4 rulings in their final session of the term. One decision wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits.

The other was a technical ruling that said nothing at all about same-sex marriage, but left in place a trial court's declaration that California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on the lower court ruling, possibly next month.

http://news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-strikes-federal-marriage-provision-145436126.html

Cut from that article.

Until the feds either pass a federal law allowing same-sex marriage, my second paragraph applies. If you don't want to see it, move out. Your applicable state's majority will decide whether it accepts same-sex marriage. Today's decision did nothing to change that. This court did tacitly affirm state's rights on the issue by merely not writing an opinion one way or another.

From your quote in bold, especially one you create in your own mind. I won't say I am perfect, but I will say I don't run around imposing my own beliefs on people especially when it comes to marriage. If you want to marry someone, have at it. It's none of my business.

[ArizonaXUGrad]

If current marriages end in divorce nearly 50% of the time, I have no idea why gay people are so anxious to become part of the statistics.

For all we know, adding homosexuals might actually turn that number around a bit. Who really knows? I honestly believe that number is more indicative of a more equal workplace. We now have a greater percentage of marriages than before where both parties have jobs that can support themselves. The financial incentive to stay married and work it out is shrinking. You could probably add to that couples are having kids later in life. I wonder what the divorce rate is for couples with no kids, married less than 5 years, where both have careers.

[xubrew]

That means that 4.7% of the folks were drunk and experimented. They are not getting married. 3.5% are Gay. They care. Minor numbers in any case.

Regardless of what the numbers are, gays are not the only ones that care. That's my biggest point. A lot of people do care. Whether they should or shouldn't, they do. That's why it's getting the attention that it is.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't think this will change the daily lives of anyone all that much. The number of gay relationships will not even increase by 1/100th of a percent. Religious institutions that condemn it can still condemn it. They don't have to accept it, they just have to tolerate it, which is what they've been doing all along anyway. They don't even have to tolerate it within their own religious institution. Just on the outside where church and state are supposed to be separate. Once the smoke clears, people will realize that their day-to-day lives haven't changed at all.

I think that the ruling was a good thing, but I also agree that we need to focus our energy on fixing other problems now that this issue is over and done with.

[LadyMuskie]

I'm not gay, but I'm thrilled with today's ruling. It's a small step, but an important one. It gives me hope that the friends I have who are gay might someday be considered equal to me by everyone. Watching loved ones being discriminated against is painful, particularly when the basis of the discrimination comes from religion.

[Kahns Krazy]

A good libertarian argument. But we discriminate against people all the time. Should we allow bigamy if everyone is agreeable who is involved?

What we should not do is create a benefit for some that is not available to others. If bigamy is allowed, it should be allowed for everyone. If benefits for couples are allowed, they should be allowed for every couple. If a gay couple chooses to get married, they should pay at the stupidly higher married rate, and not enjoy the serious tax benefits of being an unmarried cohabiting couple.



If current marriages end in divorce nearly 50% of the time, I have no idea why gay people are so anxious to become part of the statistics.

I have long said that when the gay community finally gets 100% equal acceptance of marriage, they are going to question what the hell they fought so hard for.

The uber committed gay couples that are fighting the hardest, in my completely personal observation, are likely to stay committed, as they have already overcome some pretty serious obstacles to be a couple. Once it's mainstreamed, you'll see the kind of impulse weddings that are probably not part of the current gay community.

One of the arguments I have heard for gays wanting married status is in the event of an incapacitating injury, illness, or a death. There are stories of gays being disallowed from visiting their long term partners in the hospital while incapacitated because the family has prevented it and their status as a 'life partner' is not recognized. I'm not sure how true that is or if it can be circumvented through some type of living will or legal document.

[blobfan]

A good libertarian argument. But we discriminate against people all the time. Should we allow bigamy if everyone is agreeable who is involved?
Sure. If 3 people want to live together and pretend they are married, nothing we can really do about it. If a guy gets married to two different women in two different states and claims tax benefits on each, then we need to stop it. It's a pragmatic issue for me.

If the reason to give tax benefits for marriage is for the good of families then every committed domestic paring should be allowed a domestic partner benefit, regardless of romantic interest. If I move in with my sister to help her raise her kids wouldn't it be beneficial for the children if my benefits could be transmitted to them? Otherwise, the government should keep its nose out of the marriage business completely.

I wish I could remember a specific example but I've read the same thing a couple times over the years. The really disgusting part is when one partner is dying and the other has to leave to find the power of attorney in order to access the room and by then the family that rejected the dying person has already made care decisions. It's even worse when they are young and don't think they'll need those documents drawn up until it's too late.
