    This homophobic attempt should be put in the idiocy hall-of-fame.

    I've heard some really reaching homophobic things being used to stop marriage, but this one takes the cake. X_X

    And here 12 years olds get married in the deep south, and it's normal! Well, I exaggerate a bit, but...

    Because a 12-year old could ACTUALLY sign a legal contract. Seems legit. *facepalm*

    The actual 12 year olds are people who oppose marriage equality.

    I used to live in Montgomery County!!! It was a really poor analogy, and sadly I believe these marriages licenses will be annulled. Pennsylvania voters are still way too divided on the issue.

    Since most 12 year olds support marriage equality, let's call them what they really are: 82 year olds.

    That attorney's comment sounds like the reaction of a 12 year old.
     
  15. This is even more stupid than that one woman from Mexico saying gays shouldn't marry because they can't face each other during lovemaking...and that was pretty darn dumb!

    They definitely are.

    Aside from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Erie, Pennsylvania is a very conservative state.

    If gay marriage does become legal by court action, Republicans do have enough votes in either house of the legislature to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot, but it's a slow process that takes two legislative sessions and a vote of the people.

    If Republicans had a 2/3 majority, they could declare an "emergency" and pass a constitutional amendment with a 2/3 vote that would go to the voters within the next month. Which is even more stupid (stupider? Is that a word?) than the above statement.

    Polls show 54% of Pennsylvanians support gay marriage, so even if it did come up for a vote, we'd have a fighting chance of winning.

    State Senate - 27R-23D
    House of Representatives - 111R-92D

    So they won't be able to go the "emergency" route.

    EDIT: There are two openly gay members of the State House.
