Butt Buddies Legalized in Oklahoma!?

[Antilogic]

Oklahoma seems like it is trying to set some records. Not more than a week ago, we had killer atomic wedgies and satanic statues. Now, a judge has ruled the Oklahoma same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional:

Chalk another one for proponents of marriage equality.

Oklahoma's ban on same-sex marriage violates the 14th Amendment, U.S. District Judge Terence Kern ruled Tuesday, according to Tulsa World. The ruling is stayed pending an appeal.

A similar decision struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage last year, but the Supreme Court granted the state's request to halt marriages pending an appeal.

“Judge Kern has come to the conclusion that so many have before him – that the fundamental equality of lesbian and gay couples is guaranteed by the United States Constitution," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin in a statement.

What is going on with Oklahoma? Will red states outstrip blue ones in gay marriage rights?

DISCUSS NOW.

Gay people marrying will bring about the destruction of society and all that is Holy.

It's just the nature theatre of Oklahoma.

This story must be linked to the Satan statue.

Could this signal the beginning of the End Times?

Now that would make me giggle.

Will red states outstrip blue ones in gay marriage rights?

I suspect that red states will outstrip blue states in having unconstitutional bans on same sex marriage overturned.

I loathe that musical. Everytime I'm exposed to it, I secretly hope the "hero" gets riddled with holes about 30 minutes in.

Luckily the clip is only 10minutes.

You have to admit that trying to portray Oklahoma as a place where people want to willingly live is a Herculean task.

?? That doesn't make a ton of sense to me. The dirt's pretty bad, but it still looks more appealing than say, downtown Chicago to me. I just dislike the main character.

Our Savior's reaction upon hearing the news.

I really need to go back to Oklahoma to finish my bachelors. It's a pretty boring place, and the work they assign is even moreso.

This will be a return to the fourth party system: The racists and hyperreligious will be in the democrats and the GOP will be seen as progressive again!

My god. Have you seriously drifted that far to the right (and upwards, if the political compass counts) since you changed your username a few years ago?

Butt buddies to me sounds like friends who wipe eachother's butts after pooping.

Signs point to yes, if both Utah and Oklahoma end up with legalized gay marriage.

I was going to go with "Activist Judge Overrules Oklahoman Ban on Butt Buddies, Pending Appeal" but it felt too long.

This will be a return to the fourth party system: The racists and hyperreligious will be in the democrats and the GOP will be seen as progressive again!

Not quite, the party system worked a bit differently back then. I think the Sixth Party System is safe for another couple elections.

I did say that anyone sitting on the lap of the Satan statue would get fornicated.
