I actualy would like to see some sort of crack down on this sort of thing, we need to show that were serious about this. back in the civil rights day people got arrested all the time, that didn't stop them, we should have the same thing, get some people arrested and when they go to court fight it all the way to the supreem court.

I can easily see someone misreading this completely, but I hear exactly what you're saying.  It would certainly get people motivated.

it's not enough for the States themselves to go  off on their own thing one at a time, this is a change that will have to come about at the Federal level or it won't amount to much.

heh, it's happened to me enough times...

Naw, I get your point totally.  Imagine people being arrested in Mass for getting married.  That'd get some people motivated very quickly.

not that I want that to happen, but I do think Congress needs to address this issue.  It isn't going to go away, and I can easily see the President choosing it as a new war front (one he could possibly win)

see, this is where I can agree. when I said "I'de like to see gays getting arrested for getting married", I meant that literally. do that, any you're going to see a repeat of the Rodney King riots in '92, only with thousands of gays..

..oh wait, we've already got that once a year :D

But this time they'll prolly have sex on the lawn of the Parliament and Legislature buildings just to piss off the conservatives.

Meh.. that'd piss me off no matter what political orientation I am.

What, even a couple of 20 year old Lesbians???

Sorry, not trying to be crude, just trying to point out that 'Gay' doesn't always mean 'male' and most men have no problem watching a pron with 2 women getting down to it. But then, that's just the wonderful hypocrisy of it all.. 'You can't be gay unless you are female, good looking and we can watch'.

I agree.

LOL I wasn't going to point out that it actually was quite a good motto from a certain point of view

I honestly cannot understand the mentality of people that make someone elses sexuality their problem. I mean, for ****s sake I'm sure these people have enough in their own lives to keep them occupied.

Personally I don't like seeing ANY couples making out in public (barring the lesbians obviously) but that's just me and I keep it to myself because it's none of my business really.

BTW, I was wondering. Which is higher: A state constitution, or a federal law? This is what the debate over whether what Massachusetts is legal or not should be focused on.

[Reez]

it's most likely federal law, but there's all sorts of loopholes around that just in case the feds turn nazi

[Ulala]

In light of the Enterprise finale, that's actually quite funny.

Depends.  The fed laws are supposed to keep some semblence of "unity", the state laws allow them to address needs or issues that may be specific to their region.

or so the dogma goes.

Example: Medicinal marijuana.  Passed twice out here in Arizona.  Unfortunately, it's still illegal at the federal level.  Prescribe it and you lose your medical license.  Nice, huh?
