Gay Marriage / Gay Rights

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't love you, sally, but would probably enjoy having some huevos rancheros and a few Bloody Marys with you (if you whipped them up and weren't expecting a kidney or other organ in return).

So, Utah is interesting.


December 26, 2013 one of many same-sex wedding celebrations in Salt Lake City

Polygamy was ruled legal in the state by its Supreme Court week before last.

Then, hundreds of same-sex couples got married in Utah over the holiday, following the Utah Supreme Court's ruling earlier this week which struck down the state's attempt to undo the recent law legalizing same-sex marriage.

Now, state officials are planning to appeal that ruling and take the case to the US Supreme Court. I think they'll lose given that DOMA has been ruled unconstitutional (just like California anti-gay marriage activists lost the same argument with the US Supreme Court earlier this year).

State officials are likely planning to appeal the Utah Supreme Court's ruling in favor of polygamy to the federal court, too.

Back and forth...
