Puerto Rico To Begin Issuing Marriage Licenses To Gay Couples July 15 | Rapid News Network
About a week after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that clears the way for same-sex marriage in all 50 states, a number of religious leaders in Fresno share their thoughts about the landmark court decision that was split 5-4.
Furthermore, religious conservatives have much to celebrate with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court.
That does not mean the issue is settled for all time.
But nevertheless, I am a Christian because I find the words of Jesus Christ to be lovely and inspiring. Recalling the harsh treatment of gays and lesbians in the past, some may think that turnabout is fair play.
His message of tolerance when it comes to gay people has drawn criticism from some Christians, but I like the “six ways” he discussed in his Wednesday blog post in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision. The trial court ruling in favor was struck by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in 1982.
That’s right; the Declaration of Independence says “all” men, and it’s meant in the broadest sense, as in all humans.
That’s what the Supreme Court did when it ruled that blacks deserved equal treatment a half-century ago. The following list, though not exhaustive, includes some of the most vocal opponents of the decision and their plans for fighting the Supreme Court in the spirit of Southern nullification. He characterized the opinion as “pretentious” and “egotistical”, filled with “showy profundities that are profoundly incoherent”, and concluded his diatribe by highlighting the fact that the Supreme Court lacks a specific mechanism to enforce its judgments. Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative’s conservative, railed against a “judicial putsch” to usurp democracy.
Normally it takes 15 to 20 minutes to issue a marriage license, but no one in the Probate Court performs weddings unless it is scheduled.
But, I imagine he’d continue, what about gay marriage being a threat to our traditional way of life?
“There’s a lot of work that remains”, said Sarah McBride, researcher at the Center for American Progress. Within months, voters in the state approve Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. It was a day marked by joyous celebration and indescribable pain: the first black president at the funeral of a black man killed by a white supremacist, on the same day same-sex marriage became the law of the land. Yet, we are called upon to be welcoming, to be embracing and to be inclusive of all people. “They don’t see what the big deal is”.
In his written dissent, Roberts doesn’t claim that same-sex marriages are illegal, just that the question of opening marriage to same-sex couples should be left to the states, not decided by courts. Those protections may provide for religious belief exemptions.
The same, however, does not hold true for civil servants, i.e. those registrars who say issuing marriage licenses for same sex couples violates their religious principles. Some also suggest that the ruling will spark a legal and political backlash against trans people in particular – who, they say, marriage equality does nothing to help.
The 14 declared Republican candidates face a set of new challenges in a changing world.
The RCA press release said, “Marriage is an institution defined by the Bible and subsequent religious codes and it is upon the foundation of traditional family life that our society has been built for millennia”.
Democrats are more fortunate.
Both the USA EPA and the Illinois Legislature should keep their energy initiatives moving forward. The majority has “enacted their own vision of marriage”.
The study shows that 73 percent of non-practicing Christians under 40 support the same-sex marriage decision.
In May 2012, after Vice President Joe Biden came out in support for marriage equality, Obama quickly did as well.
What America does is to push her policies to the countries they have relationship with. Several states in Nigeria have also adopted sharia law and imposed the death penalty for gay men.
Yet, it’s also important to raise awareness about other areas of civil rights such as gender and race equality. It highlights how hard it is to demonize and Otherize people when they’re not invisible. “Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved”.
The Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in America last week and the gay community is finally on a collective honeymoon.
