! Simple fact of the matter is, I may offend you with my thoughts, and you may offend me with yours. If you can't deal with it, I don't really care.
Today the Supreme Court released their decisions when it applies to "gay rights", and it's been interesting to watch the reactions of people.
I'm currently living in the state of Utah so that's what I've been paying to most attention to for news today. The Utah pride center is all elated over the SCOTUS opinions that were handed down and I don't really understand why they're so damn happy. These decisions don't even effect the gay population here in Utah.
I'm striking down the second of the DOMA that they considered to be unconstitutional all it says is that the federal government can't deny certain rights to you just because you're gay. Good, I think that when you die you should be able to pass on what you've built up in your life without the government demanding more than half of it, I've always thought that you should be able to get the same rights that everyone else is, that part of DOMA was bullshit to begin with, thank you Slick Willy, as it was Bill Clinton that signed, and campaigned on DOMA to begin with.
As far as the prop 8 decision goes, it doesn't affect Utah or the militant gay population here at all. Even if they travel to a state that allows gays to get married to each other, the state of Utah doesn't have to recognize it, and they defiantly don't have to issue you a marriage license. What this "standing" ruling does mean is that it doesn't matter how you vote, what you think our believe, it doesn't matter. It's only what the state wants and believes, your vote has no meaning to anything anymore.
