Let's hope!  I would love to see gangs not be able to make money, and fewer people losing their heads in Mexico from drug profit crimes.

Just because something doesn't directly effect you doesn't mean you shouldn't be happy about it.  This is a good step for society in general. And surely, you know someone or have some family this will benefit.  It will strengthing communites, families, the general walfare etc.

I don't see how this does anything but improve the 'Sanctity of Marriage' and yes, states with same sex marrige have lower divorice rates.  And male male couples have less than half the divorice rate of male-female couples on average.

Example, the national divorce rate in the USA id 3.6 % per year.  But if you look at MASS, which has the longest same sex marriage records.  Male-Male divorce rate is only 1.1% less than a third of the national average.

Thanks buddy!  Apreciate you support, you can have cake and pie with the other celebrators.

Huge win. Well done.

No worries, wish I could be there for the party! 

Ha ha! But hey, you have reasons to celebrate in Australia too!

Julia Gillard is out, and the new prime minister Kevin Rudd, supports same sex marrage!

Go Australia Equality Go!

It went exactly as I said it would from the start.

Told you so.

It'd be Utah by far.  Not only is it a younger state, mormons are a lot more self focused then most people.  So they could eaisly vote for gay marriage while still thinking it's wrong and a sin.

I'd guess a Federal ruling or law happens first though.  Or at least before Mississippi.

Goodness, I forgot how awful your posts were in Politic threads. Someone disagrees with you, instant insults and labels associated for all dissenters!

Actually that's exactly why it isn't a surprise.  By "attempts to supress minority voters" you mean, "Laws that require people to prove they are who they say they are before they vote."

Of the ones that absoletly require ID to vote,  80% of them are in non Civil Rights Act states.

In otherwords, the election proves exactly why the act should be thrown out in it's present form if you see such acts as racist.   The states listed aren't inacting legislation more racist then the other states.

My views on this is that government shouldn't be in a position to give out permission what people choose to do romantically or sexually.
