Stop readin' my mindChuck S said:It is a good ruling, except it comes right before an election where some states have anti-gay marriage amendments on the ballot. It is sure to suddenly energize the ultra-conserative voters and help the Republican party somewhat in the election.

I'm the glad NJ decision is moving us back in a positive direction...
rcostello1 said:In Virginia they want to outlaw gay marriage but at the sametime (the way it is written) basically outlaw anything that would give equality of any sort to any two people who are not married. Meaning any legal instrument such as POA, etc. between two people of the same sex or two unmarried people could become invalid.

Isn't divorce FAR more harmful to family values, and morals, and, well, quality of life, than two consenting adults entering into a contract that gives them EQUAL rights to all other married couples? Did I phrase that right? I mean, who gives a rat's patoot who marries whom? Whose business is it? Why do people even have the opportunity to POSSIBLY vote on who can marry?
