To Disgusted:

>> “Louisiana is the rectum of the country and for you Republican right wings that would support someone like PAYUSH “Bobby” JINDAL (Weasle in sheep clothing) you are just as crazy as the straights that don’t want you to exist moreless have rights!”

You know you’re in “deep doo-doo” when you expect to bring about acceptance of anything homosexual in a State that calls its Counties, “Parishes”.

>> “The only way the south is going to accept anything and even then they wont totally accept it is to be FORCED by the federal government!”

Isn’t that, by definition, “Conservative”? Resist and fight change and progress at all costs; cling on to the archaic (“tradition?”); substitute “faith” for “knowledge”; “Don’t rock the boat!”.

When I first moved to Louisiana (I’m originally a New Yorker), one of the most annoying, persistant, and whiny refrains I heard from my co-workers and friends was, “We’ve ALWAYS done it this way!”, when suggesting or offering a new way.

Dear English Teacher:

“LA” is the postal abbreviation; “La.” is the traditional grammatical abbreviation for Louisiana, and that used by the AP Stylebook for newspapers.

…”L.A.” is Los Angeles. LOL

Louisiana is a typical, priest-ridden, red state hell hole. I’m glad I got out before Katrina.

The full faith clause has been routinely abrogated with all the state constitutional amendments which deny the legal marriages in Massachusettes.
These state constitutional amendments are clearly unconstitutional on a federal level because of the full faith clause.
What’s legal in one state must be recognized as legal in another.
The 14th Amendment also guarantees equal treatment under the law, so DOMA is also unconstitutional.
So what?
You mean you haven’t noticed that laws don’t REALLY apply equally in this country?
Union contracts can be ignored while retainer contracts for the super rich can not be ignored.
This is not a surprise any more. It just isn’t.

ok I dont get it,

isnt the whole purpose of the law suit to allow Smith to put the child on his insurance? seems to me that the point is being lost here.If Lousianna puts a constitutional ban on such things who is being hurt? THE CHILD!!!! so much for gays being out to corrupt and hurt children i guess now states are out to do what the religious right has accused us of for yrs now this child need protected and these backward states need to realize it isnt all about them there are too many states supporting love at this point and they need to protect families of all types

Louisiana is the rectum of the country and for you Republican right wings that would support someone like PAYUSH “Bobby” JINDAL (Weasle in sheep clothing) you are just as crazy as the straights that don’t want you to exist moreless have rights!

The only way the south is going to accept anything and even then they wont totally accept it is to be FORCED by the federal government!

What’s sad is the same tool, called religion (the Bible) is the same tool that southerners OF ALL RACES are using to oppress LGBT community!

Not surprisingly, this aboration didn’t make the news here in Louisiana — they were too busy telling us about a corrupt cop in New Orleans, who invaded homes and made women strip so he could fondle them, and tallying all the days killings on the evening news.

This adoption bill must have been slipped under the table so no one would notice.

But what would you expect from a state where you can’t hardly tell a Democrat from a Republican, and has Alfred E. Newman for a governor.

Looks like the way to go is through the Federal Court system.

Ryo Said: “Well, to be fair, marriage rights aren’t really spelled out in the constitution, it’s just assumed they’re there with the whole “life, liberty, pursuit of happiness” thing, however, the full faith clause is there. I wouldn’t expect it to effect this particular case, though, since this one mainly happened in New York.”

The Full Faith and Credit clause requires that a legal marriage in one state be recognized in all other states. That was my point. DOMA was passed to circumvent the intent of the Constitution.
