Idaho Republicans pass resolution urging Supreme Court to end marriage equality

Worst part about it is you feel you did something wrong.

.

I remember being acutely aware that I was too young to know this.

But, yes, the feeling that I was to blame kept me from reporting it that time, or another time it happened, or when I was raped at age 15.

I struggle with the feeling I have that child sexual abusers cannot be punished too long or too hard to suit me.

My thoughts exactly.

I had forgotten about it happening until I was going thru my background investigation for my clearance.
The FBI agent asked me about my past and I can't remember what the question was that triggered the memory, but they flagged my clearance for awhile because of it.

Catholic priest tried that crap on me when I was 19. "Tried"....failed.
Worst part was no one would believe it when I tried to tell them.

Marriage should be between a biological Male and a biological Female.
Anything else should be called a union of some sort.

Interesting!

I also had FBI clearance, but it was only the perfunctory background check on paper. I never even met an agent.

I needed a TS-SCI to remain in my MOS.
My job classification in the Army had the possibility of being assigned to the White House communications office.

Later when I volunteered for Special Operations I didn't need more than a Secret clearance.

But many of my classmates from high school had visits from the FBI when I was still in 36L school.

People like me ? What do you know, or think that you know about me?

Probably more than you know about Idaho

Why not just get rid of marriage altogether? Call everything a legal union. Problem solved. Most marriages end in divorce anyway. Divorce is a wonderful option.

Idaho Republicans pass resolution urging Supreme Court to end marriage equality - LGBTQ Nation

I really have to ask…what the hell is wrong with these people ? Why can’t they just leave others alone to live their lives as they choose ? Same sex marriage has been the law of the land in all 50 states for nearly a decade. It has been legal in some states and in other countries for much longer. It’s really not much of an issue anymore . Married same sex couples inhabit nearly every community across the country. They have become part of the fabric of society. They own homes, have families, hold jobs, pay taxes , volunteer in their towns and are good neighbors. Most people don’t even notice them and those who do don’t care . They bother no one

I challenge these people to provide and evidence at all that same sex marriage has in any way been detrimental to society , or to them personally . There is absolutely no reason for them to seek to upend the lives of these people and take from them that which they can take for granted . The only explanation for this is the creeping scourge of Christian Nationalism that seeks to impose their distorted and cruel suede Christian beliefs and values on others .

Wow!

We're all so impressed by how clever you thought you sounded saying that.

I am not at all impressed with the moronic responses that I''m getting so far . So much for any hope of an adult level discussion on an important topic that can have a real impact on real peoples lives.

Republicans can’t provide such evidence.

This is more Republican fascism, bigotry, and hate.

I love Idaho

Are you living there. Is it private?

A right that can be voted on, is not a right.

A right not enumerated in the Constitution isn't a protected right.

All of our rights WERE voted on, back when the Bill of Rights were passed, and when each subsequent amendment enumerating a right was passed.

Holy shit, what?? That is a stupid idea that has been floated many times before, usually by those opposed to gay marriage and INCELS and want to throw the baby out with the bath water. No one has ever been able to explain how that would work in reality . And just where do you think that you would find sufficient political support?

Codswallop! Would you draw the same conclusion if the subject were interracial marriage ?

Loving fell under equal protection because race makes no difference in a marriage.

Sex does.

The only way to change the marriage contract with regards to sex is via changing the laws in question at the State level.

Ninth Amendment. Fourteenth Amendment. Equal Protection CLause. The awesome of power of Queso.

I was molested when I was 6 yrs old.....so I know what you mean.

It never fucking fails. Whenever the subject is about gays , it quickly devolves into something about child molestation . That is just plain stupid
