@fsinn just when ya thought TN hit the bottom of the barrel…
They said…”hold our🍺”…

“Under the bill passed by the House if 2 people, let’s just call them Ginni (who is white) & Clarence (who is black), show up at a county clerk’s office seeking to marry this gov official may refuse to do so because in their conscience or religious conviction a black person marrying a white person is wrong.”

It’s all on the table.
Suit up if you haven’t already!

“This report would not be complete without a tally of the vote. It was 74-22. 73 Republicans voted in favor of the Bill (no Republicans voted against it) and 22 Democrats against. As the math suggests that means one Democrat actually voted for this travesty. His name is Dwayne Thompson, @VoteThompson96 on Twitter.”

The Tennessee House Just Passed a Bill Completely Gutting Marriage Equality

The bill could allow county clerks to deny marriage licenses to same-sex, interfaith, or interracial couples in Tennessee.

The is not enough for just codifying . If Congress couldn’t codify requirement for states to *perform* or *certify* same-sex marriages, they should have at least created a federal marriage certificate (and a federal marriage registry) to be issued to couples in the case that Obergefell is struck down by SCOTUS.

So thanks to some guidance from the friendly folks here, I found out I need to, or get to, write an . I live in , but relocated from a few years ago. I’m in , and celebrated 15 years clean last August. I’m a member of the community, and am married to the most amazing man, that immigrated here from China 6 years ago. Being part of an has been, honestly, one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I remain grateful.

may have been decided in 1967, but it took until 2000 for the US Census to allow residents to select multiple ethnicities. It took until 2010 for the census to count same-sex households.

@ryanshead That thought occurred to me and to Spousal Unit as well. Imagine a country where a Respect for Marriage Act is necessary because bigots will not relent. Evil runs deep here.

Yes, this was a good day. Let's shore up and in every way possible anyway. I'm old and have learned not to trust them, even on the good days.

signs the into law

Despite Tuesday's excitement, there was concern about the nationwide proliferation of conservative policies on issues at the state level.

Biden criticized the "callous, cynical laws introduced in the states targeting children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors who give children the care they need."

The Senate on Tuesday (Nov. 29) passed a bill to codify the right to same-sex and interracial marriage, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats to send the legislation to the House.

The Senate, with its 60-vote threshold, was the main obstacle to the bill’s passage, but it passed with a 61-36 vote. The House is expected to easily pass it before sending it to President Biden’s desk.
