I knew a couple who moved out of state because their fellow citizens decided to formalize their fear and hatred in law. Today is a great vindication, as is the fact that the couple, who probably earn around $500k combined, have been kicking all those lovely tax dollars to MD for the last 6 years.
Of course it is. The minute Justice Kennedy's cited the 14th Amendment in the DOMA case and Justice Scalia in his dissent gave every court the legal boilerplate, it was legally over.
On moral grounds I disagree. But it's legal and short of a Constitutional Amendment it's not changing.

I never have, and never will understand, the "moral grounds" argument. Any "morality" associated with marriage was destroyed long, long ago.
But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

It does seem like whenever civil rights are extended to a group traditionally discriminated against, the reaction is expressed on moral grounds. And yet morality has survived the extension of equal rights to Catholics, women, blacks, and even the Irish.
Morality will be just fine when gay couples are as miserable are straight couples.

What, pray tell, would you consider to be immoral?
Wow, no one spoke up about you bringing her up rather than letting her fade into memory. Perhaps even they realize she won't willingly go away - quietly or not.
And that's a crying shame if immorality is the norm.
"Immorality" has been the norm for centuries. Arranged marriages, incestual marriages, marriages of convenience etc. have been around for centuries. "Morality" in marriage has been long gone.

Morality in marriage depends on each cultures norms. 1000 years ago when arranged, incestual marriages were the norm all over the place, there was nothing consifered immoral about it. Looking back at it now, we seem to have a different view of marriage, so those norms seem outrageous.
Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
