National Mandate on Gay Marriage?

WASHINGTON — The practice of law would be much more pleasant, many lawyers will tell you over a second Scotch, if it did not require clients. It is one thing to construct an airtight legal argument and quite another to deal with the demands of inconstant human beings.

Consider Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.’s most prominent client, President Obama. In May, in announcing his support for same-sex marriage, Mr. Obama said the issue should be decided state by state. In his Inaugural Address last month, Mr. Obama seemed to make a case for a more national approach.

The timing was awkward. Mr. Verrilli is in the midst of considering what to tell the Supreme Court in a pair of momentous same-sex marriage cases to be argued in March. Just days before the inauguration, he met with lawyers challenging California’s ban on same-sex marriage, who urged him to weigh in on their side. He was noncommittal, but his client’s public marching orders until then had suggested that he should sit that one out.

Its a man preying on a boy. Thats a homosexual. Am i missing something here. You want to protect homosexuals so much you're just going to repackage it with diferent words huh. Like a man who rapes men in prison who says. "im not gay, i was the pitcher".

Its so demonic, friend.

Well I say either way its about power.

It's tough to say what will happen. Either way, my ideal scenario where marriage would be separated from legal benefits and government and made a private institution, while civil unions remained the only legal channel for current marriage benefits won't happen. Obviously I'm not a homophobe or anti-gay, but I also have a lot of problems with the mainstream gay marriage movement, which is run mostly by wealthy, white gay men who don't really care about the issues facing all the poor people and people of color and women who happen to be lgbt and who make up the real majority of lgbt people.

Also, don't bother arguing with Mowgli/Mr. Somebody, who is a repressed gay man who trolls to convince himself otherwise.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Homosexuals have their own struggles obviously. Doesnt really matter if its about power or pleasure either way they take pleasure in being with the same sex, which is gay like west hollywood, friend.
