    Texas ordered to pay $600,000 to same-sex couples who defeated state ban
    A federal appeals court ordered Texas on Wednesday to pay about $600,000 to cover the legal fees for two same-sex couples who defeated the state's ban on same-sex marriage in a protracted court battle.

    It seems like the freedom-hating right has no problem wasting
    taxpayers' dollars.

    Well look at that, a consequence for not following the law.

    I think that's a standard we should all abide by, don't you?

    And it sets precedent for all the victims of illegal invaders who can sue the "sanctuaries" that made the infestation possible.

    Or do you not think all of the families of people murdered by invader filth, or any of the children raped by invader filth, should be compensated by the cities/states that work so tirelessly to not follow those laws?

    It kinda weird that when a con artist belittles a gay person, it often turns out that person is a closet gay person.

    And we should find out immediately who is that person's employer and start holding those law breakers, like Crooked Donnie, accountable.

    Why is it that con artists do not believe in the basic American prinicple of liberty and justice for all?

    Everybody always knows somebody who makes fun of people who are unable to defend themselves.

    Theres a difference between "Liberty and Justice"..."freedom" and of course Society putting a stamp of validation on an abnormal behavior. Anyone telling people they can't be Gay if they want? No, I dont think so. That would step over the line for sure, but no one is entitled to a Union of Matrimony if they fail to meet that unions criteria.

    Oh well, the Bench strikes again on what the people didn't vote for. Things like this are why we have Trump.

    Seems a bit stiff, (Giggity) but as has been posted, there are consequences to not following the law.

    Hopefully next up will be illegal immigration sanctuary hives..... It's my hope that cannabis laws at the federal level will be changed, prior to the feds cracking down on the Marijuana Sanctuaries tho!

    Youd be surprised how many conservatives think that the government has no place in marriage in the first place. Marriage licensing is a jim crow holdover.

    Well then it is lucky for gay people that their behavior is not considered abnormal. What is abnormal behavior is the need to belittle others in the name of
    religious tyranny. Marriage is civil matter and should not be a concern among the fake religious right.

    No marriage is a religious matter that the civil authority took over to keep black people from marrying white people.

    Prior to Jim Crow and for thousands of years no one had ever even thought about the state licensing marriage.

    Love or lusts are abnormal between consenting adults?

    Are we in Sunday School now?

    Nope, we're also not in the "anything I want to do in the bedroom is normal behavior either". 2 guys emulating the normal mating process just isn't . I would never stand in anyones way to engage in whatever they wish to in the bedroom, but I'm not going to proclaim it normal either, sorry.

    Life says the opposite, really. You are aware that every animal we study has a subset that will have "gay" sex? If it was so unnatural, it wouldn't be happening naturally, all throughout the animal kingdom.

    I guess the Libertarian side of me just doesn't, & will never, understand this way of thinking.

    I'd kindly ask the Gubmint to stay the hell out of my sexual escapades.

    So do genetic defects. Lets not pretend they mean it's normal to have 12 fingers, or eyes that don't see....

    Hate to break it to you, as it applies to the last bit here, but the purpose of sex, isn't JUST procreation.

    That myth started with Religious Dogma.

    Also, having 12 fingers may be an evolutionary benefit.

    Think of the WPM boost in typing...

    Hahahah, well I didn't think of it that way. perhaps it would be a boon, however the point was normalcy. 12 fingers is not normal to the human condition, although it does happen. Similar happens throughout the animal kingdom as well, but that doesn't make it normal for the species.

    It's "normal" that abnormal things happen...but that doesn't make those abnormal things "normal" to the species. Hope that made some sense, even though you might not share the opinion.

    Finger counts were never part of the Institutions criteria like 1 Male and 1 Female were...but you knew that, we've been here before.

    As long as an "Abnormality" that is perceived, isn't hurtful in any way to others, it's less an "Abnormality", & more of curiosity.

    As for the finger thing again, who knows, might be an evolutionary step to being the "New Normal".
