Illinois Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Wonderful news.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

It's hideous news. Why should gays be allowed to marry when gun rights are not protected.

Because being gay doesn't hurt anyone.

And also because they're, you know, entirely unrelated issues.

What I ment is why shouldn't I be able to have a thirty bullet clip or a semiautomatic yet people of the same gender
are allowed to solomize something nature and Nature's God have forbidden under rather strict terms.

I'd compliment you for the portmanteau of 'solemnize' and 'sodomize', but I don't know if it was deliberate. The answer is, again, that your 'right' to own specific types of weaponry has nothing to do with anything. Why would somebody so concerned about the strictures of the Prince of Peace even want it, anyway?

How did muon vote? He needs some serious shunning if he voted against again.

Isn't he in the House?

Uh-oh… this is not good.  Why not let the people vote?  And this is a classic example of how ideology hacks in the GOP, including the Tea Partymovement, have damaged America.   If it weren't for them nominating an unelectable candidate like Bill Brady to run against Quinn, Jim Ryan would be governor today, and although he's more liberal/moderate on social issues, he might have vetoed this bill.

Once 'putting it to a vote' stops getting the result you want (which is starting to happen already) what will you be advocating then? You also know that at the time of Loving v Virginia support for interracial marriage according to Gallup was around 20%. Should inter-racial marriages have been put to a vote?

Loving v. Virginia didn't change the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, either.  Give homosexuals the rights, but don't define something as a marriage that my religion says is not.

Why does your religion get veto power over legal decisions?
