Gay marriage Ban Struck Down in Utah.

[PJ]

Between this and the program to end homelessness, who would have thought that Utah would have two awesome political developments this week?

As for hurting the Utah dems, even the ones not representing parts of SLC probably won't have too much to worry about - all of them represent part of Salt Lake County, which is one of the most "moderate" counties on the issue (when the ban was first passed in 2004, it did vote in favor, but was one of the amendment's worst counties (Passed with 54 percent of the vote, whereas in the Presidential election at the same time, Bush got 59 percent of the vote). That, and the ones outside SLC represent parts of the inner-ring suburbs, which are more "moderate" (the outer ring suburbs, on the other hand...)

Your state also struck down the cohabitation ban. Awesome week for Utah!

The people and representatives of Utah together banned it. The federal government needs to respect the will of the citizens of Utah and California to maintain and enforce their bans of gay marriage. Article 1 Section 8 and the 10th Amendment apply in this case. Keep standing against this activist judge and enforce the ban in the name of the Constitution.  Liberty without Morality is anarchy

Stop this immoral rhetoric. It's causing anarchy.

If it violates the constitution, then guess what - it doesn't matter how many people approve it, it cannot be enforced. period.

And how do you define "morality"?

You don't. The concept of morality is modern society is stretched so much that if one person says something is immoral, a large portion of the population will simply follow suit. We shouldn't even have to debate LGBT rights, but somebody wrote down that homosexuality was bad thousands of years ago, and apparently that means we ignore simple logic and kindness to follow the will of that ancient sentence.

Hopefully this means less coverage on social issues in the 2016 election.

On the contrary, LGBT equality progression will simply paint the tea party and other Anti-SSM republicans as even more extreme, especially with youth voters.

Edit: Smash beat me to it.
