Louisiana won't Recognize Same-Sex Marriages


Recommended Posts

I think we are looking at the start of what could be the next civil war, if the rednecks get angry enough to rise up again over states' rights to deny an entire group of people equal protection under the law. I figured gun control would do it though, not marriage equality. Even then, I really don't see it happening. Not since Hostess brought Twinkies back to the Walmart.

 

Judges serve at the pleasure of, and are paid by the people. If the judges won't serve, I suggest they return their pay. Put their money where their hearts are. I don't think they will. Either because their hearts are truly corrupt, or because, like with so many other things, the money is more important.

 

Speaking of the money, you know, this whole marriage equality thing wasn't really a big deal not too long ago. Gays were fine with their civil unions and domestic partnerships. You know what got them all riled up and what led to 2 days ago? Some insurance company got greedy and refused to pay benefits to a gay partner because their marriage was not legally recognized. An insurance scam. That's what really got this ball rolling. Now that that loophole is closed

How quickly things change. One day we were listening to how bad it was that Obamacare was upheld by the court. That was quickly forgotten because of the Marriage ruling. 

 

They will still be talking about the Marriage ruling in 60 years but I predict in 6 months the focus will have changed once again to the next Presidential election. All of this will be shut up because the debate of the next presidential election will take priority both for the Democrats as well as Republicans. There are so many that are running on the Republican side that it has to be filtered through by the right. 

I think part of the bitterness of the right is because of the timing of the rulings. They had just captured both houses of Congress with the Tea Party "leading the way". Their supporters thought that it was "their time" and then out of the blue, these devastating Supreme Court rulings. It's a bitter pill to swallow for them.

Even though Corporate America would disagree with this, I think China is worrisome. They used to say "What's good for GM is what's good for America."

This same philosophy is still widely believed today but I think the actions of corporations demonstrate time and time again, that they will take advantage of the benefits of "headquartering" in America but in the end, they are after the markets wherever they may be. American citizens should always keep this in mind.

LOL these conservatives are such babies.  Im honestly entertained at these temper tantrums, and i bet its helping some conservatives who actually have brains to see the light and change their views.  

Its more than that, The moment these marriage licences are issued they have to show their true colours. No more talk about the definition of marriage the only way back is to tear up the marriage licences of happily marriage couples> That's a fight you don't come out of smelling nice.

I'm impressed at the level of back patting going on in this thread, as well as the sheer intolerance of certain groups of people. Just goes to show even a good cause can have its fair share of bigotry when everyone here resorts to calling people who disagree with them names and inferring they are somehow superior to them.

 

Complete disrespect for differing opinions, but hey I suppose that's the internet for you.

 

Imagine if the supreme court ruled in the opposite direction and banned same sex marriage. I'm sure statements like "This day was our 9/11" would be uttered by the LGBT community just as easily and not so heavily criticized. It's funny the double standards people have.

It's only really a vocal minority  that is better off being ignored as their time is limited and easily marginalized

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
