Well, they can just continue to fund anti-gay laws in Africa now that they lost the battle here.

For your information, love has not won yet. The State of Texas, where I live, along with a number of other states, will seek to circumvent this ruling. We have not lost the battle yet, and we believe that the homophobic governments of Africa will not give in. I don't know if the latter is a good thing, as I know that Uganda punishes homosexuality with life imprisonment, which to me is a bit draconian.

Actually, it has won. There have already been several gay marriages in Texas that are legally recognized since yesterday. Remember the 80-year old couple, anyone? And don't tell me that doesn't count, because that would be a blatant lie and an attempt to smooth over your own fallacies.

The AFA seems to be taking the passive-aggressive teenager approach to dealing with their disappointment/sadness.

There are people in this thread who've actually proposed going out and doing something along those lines.

That the AFA turns out to be run by people with the maturity of a 12 year old? No.


Granted, if it was on Twitter, it could be that they have an actual 12 year old dealing with their social media accounts.

We are planning to circumvent the ruling in Roe v. Wade by passing some law that declares that human life officially begins at conception. I wonder how we can circumvent Obergefell v. Hodges. All I know is that it can be done, just as we could blatantly circumvent the actual intentions of the Fourteenth Amendment with grandfather clauses and the poll taxes.

Texas has no power to declare when life begins. Federal law, for all intents and purposes, holds that life begins at birth.

And even if it did, the holding in Roe v. Wade and subsequent jurisprudence had no consideration for when "life" begins. It is about fundamental privacy rights implied by the Fourth Amendment.

Similarly, Texas and other states could only support blatantly illegal regimes like Jim Crow only so long as the federal government allowed them to get away with it.
