"The same-sex marriage movement suffered setbacks in two states on Friday, while enjoying an advance in one."

WaPo reports:
A federal appeals court ruled Oklahoma’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional, affirming a federal judge’s January decision while keeping the state’s ban in place for now. Meanwhile, the Colorado Supreme Court ordered the Denver County clerk stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor ruled that the state of Utah may continue to deny marriage benefits to more than 1,000 married same-sex couples.

In general state governments are a colossal waste of money, but I have to admit they do provide a few laughs from time to time.

All for the 1 %. Everybody else stand by and bow.

0.1%, 1%, or 5%, they need to explain their support for selective exclusion. I would prefer that they also explain their demand to normalize dysfunctional behaviors, but that is probably too much to expect. Baby steps, I suppose. Progressivism/incrementalism is an immoral doctrine.

But who gets married anymore?

Many would argue that monogamy is dysfunctional.

It still has its benefits.

"Sexual orientation and sexual behavior are different and separate dimensions"

But our culture can't see that. We're all sexual beings, but someone references their sexuality it is unknown if they are talking orientation or behavior.

Many people don't really that LGBT teens have higher teen pregnancy rates.

Monogamy is engendered by the natural order. As a practical matter, it cannot be classified as dysfunctional, other than circumstantially.
