Republicans May Get Gay Marriage Repealed

[PozBearWI]

Indeed there is a global trajectory towards authoritarianism.  Glad to be in life's fourth quarter.

The process has already begun, in Idaho, two days ago. 

Republican Rep. Heather Scott has proposed a resolution to reject the Supreme Court same-sex marriage decision, and the proposal was moved forward by the Committee and will come up for a public hearing. If passed by the Idaho legislature it goes to the Supreme Court, where it doe not have any legal weight but does carry symbolic weight.

I hope this bill dies out.

i think the court will over rule the obergfeld (sp?) decision and say that it is a matter for each state to determine. what they cannot do is invalidate existing gay marriages.

On that basis how is a married / now unmarried couple be in any reasonably tenable situation for a normal life. Their marriage status may remain but, what about next-of-kin, superannuation, life insurance, communal property, parental status & the children that must grow with the knowledge that they & all other EXISTING Gay marriages / families are so despised & hated by their community that they were made illegal. 

What % of Idaho is Gay or strongly supportive. Can Idaho remain economically viable if a large number of these people move out of the State.

Our current trajectory has me agreeing that SCOTUS will undo Gay Marriage.  And our legislators have no will to create legislation, or better yet, a constitutional amendment to encode what I believe should be fundamental human rights, who we marry, domain over our own bodies...  

Disruption is going to happen, it is already underway.  Some of us will participate in setting direction, some of us will watch from the sidelines.

You always cut right to the chase, don'tcha?  

I have no data on this issue, but I do have a relative that lived there, and I was out West visiting and included Idaho.  Aside from "natural beauty", topography, all of that (which is definitely the case), there's precious little there that would tempt gay folks to relocate there, and plenty of reasons to ditch when/if they can. 

To the point, I don't believe there's all much economic viability there in the first place.

Sorry (LoL), if I like getting to the point 😂😜. I don't open my legs, just to exercise them 🤣. 

I am a person who tries to look past, the immediate action. People saw voting for Trump was an immediate solution BUT, very few have looked 50yrs ahead, to see what devastation his actions have wrought. 

Wouldn't say no to getting YOUR point 🍆♨️.
