And we keep marching on

People all over the united states are fighting the good fight to continue the momentum we have in gaining rights to marry.  Just today I learned of two more fallen bans!

Congratulations to the people of Indiana.  It was decreed that they were to immediately allow marriage and in Indianapolis the county clerk was issuing marriage licenses within a couple hours.  I am so excited for the people up there who get to celebrate this pride month with a marriage!

The other marriage news is kinda big, especially because it comes from a higher court.  The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Utah cannot ban same sex marriage.  using the 14th amendment as their basis for the ruling, Utah's same sex marriage ban was struck down.  however, the justices immediately put the ruling on hold so that it could be appealed.  But this is the case that is thought to be going to the Supreme Court as the big marriage case.

And this is huge.  HUGE I tell you.  The fact that these cases are falling left and right makes you hope that the Supreme court will see the rulings and the reasoning used in the lower courts to see the truth of the matter.



According to the 14th amendment of the United States of America:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Basically you cannot deny someone in America something based on the fact that you find it icky or gross.  You cannot say that 2 consenting adults cannot get married simply because your God says they shouldn't be allowed.

So two more cases, two more victories.

Happy day!!!

Until Next Time!
