Jed 7,716 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am so overjoyed to hear this news. A good article (with map included) is here http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/breaking_supreme_court_will_not_hear_any_same_s-x_marriage_cases_why_this_is_good_news Everyone join me in singing and celebrating! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy8dUJEOqos "The U.S. Supreme Court this morning began its fall session, and in a stunning development announced it will not take up any of the same-s-x marriage cases from the five states it was presented, Utah, Oklahoma, Virgina, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Many court watchers had expected the nation's top court would hear at least one same-s-x marriage case. But now, with today's announcement, all stays on same s-x marriage will "disappear," to quote NBC News' Pete Williams, albeit not overnight. The lower court rulings will now go into effect for all same-s-x marriage cases, meaning same-s-x marriage is now or will shortly be legal in Utah, Oklahoma, Virgina, Indiana, and Wisconsin."

Morphine Prince 109,650 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wow. So it could be legal in those 5 with cases plus some others making it up to it being legal in 30 states. I will await the meltdowns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will await the meltdowns. It's crazy how fast this whole thing is moving... I know that there will have to be a supreme court decision later in the next year or so that responds to some state's petition for gay marriage... and this definitely indicates that they are going to take the issue very seriously (and hopefully vote in our favor) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I suppose SCOTUS does not want to face opposition from states who support the traditional definition of marriage!

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not a ruling though, as they just declined to hear any of the cases, but didn't make any kind of ruling. So thread title should be changed. A historic day indeed though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOT2027 10,966 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm sad to hear that the Supreme Court won't rule on the issue nationwide though. Nevertheless, we just took once big step towards full marriage equality in the United States. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aah okay, they clearly don't know then :witchderp: And how does this thread not have more posts, more than 1 page? Like this day is both HISTORIC and sweeping for marriage equality and has a variety of implications. It's surprising how a community such as this isn't discussing this more, seeing as how important it is to most of us. Most of them must be clueless or uninformed about it, something idk :ghostney: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
