    that law is not going to last, even if the well documented unstable, racist, homophobic, sexist utah right wing gets it passed.

    I highly doubt even the conservatives on the federal supreme court would be able to find a way to make it constitutional.

    Financial arrangements? So wait, in Utah this assclown doesn't want gay people to legally be able to go in on a contract like a say a lease?

    This law would not be able to be written very easily.

    1. How do you define a gay couple, does 2 individual homosexuals make up a gay couple even though they are not in a relationship?

    2. If relationship is the determining factor, then how do you define a relationship? Does 2 people living in the same house constitute a relationship, but you can have housemates or roomates that happens to be 2 homosexuals/

    3. How do you determine what contracts to void, two legal adult persons are entitled to be signatory parties to a contract, unless some ambiguous conditions are met and they can no longer enter into contracts?

    If this becomes law, it will be a piece of law that will be difficult for a judge to follow by, because to judge someone according to law is indeed a tough job of precise interpretation.

    sometimes, I feel like the only way for that to happen is for jesus to come back, turn to all the fundementalist right wingers, and say "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!

    I agree... really worth the time to scroll down.

    Just remeber, Utah also recently moved to named a offical State Gun. They have no made a object created for the purpose of killing people a symbol of the state.

    How long before state-sanctioned public lynchings?

    Re: Utah state legislator introduces bill that would void contracts between gay coupl

    This is so ridiculous! Most of the pro-discrimination folks tell us that they just want to keep the word marriage "special" meaning a man+woman pairing so they're not against civil unions. This guy has taken it to the exact opposite direction and this bill is clearly invidious. Why doesn't he just try to pass a bill saying that anyone slightly suspected of being gay can't have a job or own property? What an asshat.

    I hope this guy is remembered with the same disgrace as Strom Thurmond and his KKK friends.

    wont matter. racists, homophobes, xenophobics, and anti-femisits always whitewash history, rewriting it to make them look good.

    he is convinced he is right (even though he is dead wrong), and nothing you, the constitution, and even jesus christ could say to him will convince his narcassistic delusions that he is otherwise.
