Congrats, Tennessee; you broke the streak.

After 30+ court reversals on same-sex marriage bans a TN court decides to uphold. The first decision to uphold a ban since the SCOTUS DOMA & Windsor decisions.

I didn't even think it possible, as in a complete lack of available ground to do so.

We're the Volunteer State, GCB, not the "Allowing The Gays to Settle Down State".

And, that's science.

 

His justification is utterly moronic. "Traditional procreative purposes"? Good luck if you are barren or sterile. Screw it, if we're going truly traditional, we might as well require parents to match their children and pay dowries. I mean, how traditional are we talking here? My guess is that it's just "traditional" enough to suit the small mind of this judge.

 

The government should simplify the tax code and remove all incentives to being married, and move to a straight civil union license. Let religious entities give out marriage certifications from their on views and beliefs.

 

If it were science, the ruling would have been the opposite and the order would include a fiat requiring the state to subsidize the private education of kids whose parents oppose subversive shit like physics and physiology.

 

Retiring with a bang.

 

Way too simple. The ignorant gasbags on the right are certain Gawd will smite them if they don't fight for "normul marruge."

 

I'm all for this

 

LOVE the last sentence, Tenny. That's great. I know my home state still loves me, just differently. I've semi-joked with friends that TN would be the first state to buck the trend; it did not disappoint.

 

This should happen generally for many reasons.

 

Would hopefully make a childless divorce a little smoother. Seen a few friends get taken to the cleaners just because they screwed up and married a psychotic succubus

 

It's sad to say, GC, but it stops being stereotypical, if example after example show it to be true.

Again, and again, and again.

I love Tennessee, but it's sometimes hard to do.

 

You misspelled "every woman who ever lived or will ever exist".

 

Ha well I like to think at least the one I am married to is decent. But sometimes I think, damn, she could take my child and leave me penniless if she really wanted to. How hard would it be for her to falsify some story of drinking and abuse? That's when I make sure to proclaim my undying love and take her out to a nice dinner.

 

She has you right where she wants you.

 

About sums it up.

 

I can't help but find this funny after the entire Tennessee supreme court liberal recall campaign.

 

Doesn't the stereotype just get more set in stone the more it occurs ?

 

Isn't the only way to catch peterman fever thru same sex intercourse, that and sharing needles?

 

I wouldn't know about the needle part.
