My guess? The Utah state constitution is going to be amended in record time.

The irony, Utah's mormons, who dumped millions of dollars into banning gay marriage in California end up with it in their own backyard and possibly end up being the route by which it becomes legalized across the entire country. Drysart fucked around with this message on 12-23-2013 at 08:03 PM.

It was a Federal judge that ruled it unconstitutional, which means they can't just amend the state constitution, it'll have to go to SCOTUS. And if SCOTUS affirms, that pretty much ends gay marriage restrictions in every state.The irony, Utah's mormons, who dumped millions of dollars into banning gay marriage in California end up with it in their own backyard and possibly end up being the route by which it becomes legalized across the entire country.
Well, it'll have to go through the 10th Circuit first, which, if the ruling is upheld, would flip the bans in Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, and Oklahoma (it's already legal in New Mexico) while awaiting SCOTUS.
Meanwhile, I can only imagine the all the Utahns freaking out as gay marriages continue.

Plus the gay community seems to be the canaries to losing rights before everything goes to total shit...

The attitude around here is as follows: "If I could chose who I was attracted to I'd have hooked up with an ugly chick. But I can't. I like women that look a certain way. And if I was wired differently, fuck you for trying to tell me otherwise. America was founded on the idea of personal freedoms, and this is the middle of fucking Boston."

You know, there are 16 other states where it's legal. You could have a destination gay wedding...IN SCENIC NEWARK, NEW JERSEY!

I can't remember the password to my other account for the effing life of me, but I will add:
Our state song is a show tune and half our landmarks light up like rainbows. It was inevitable, you guys.

Be real interested to see what SCOTUS decides to do, and when.
