Melissa Etheridge Might Have The Right Idea

Since Prop 8 passed in California, Melissa Etheridge's marriage to Tammy Lynn Michaels isn't really a marriage anymore in the legal sense. I guess? Right? Well, Melissa will protest the ban on gay marriage by not paying state taxes! Melissa wrote on The Daily Beast about her plan:

Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books.

Okay, cool I don't mean to get too personal here but there is a lot I can do with the extra half a million dollars that I will be keeping instead of handing it over to the state of California. Oh, and I am sure Ellen will be a little excited to keep her bazillion bucks that she pays in taxes too. Wow, come to think of it, there are quite a few of us fortunate gay folks that will be having some extra cash this year. What recession? We're gay! I am sure there will be a little box on the tax forms now single, married, divorced, gay, check here if you are gay, yeah, that's not so bad. Of course all of the waiters and hairdressers and UPS worker

Hmmm....no state taxes in California? CA already has In-N-Out and now the gays don't have to pay taxes! Woo hoo! Grab my dildo collection, pa, I'm going out west!

Think of all the things I can buy with my extra dough from not paying state taxes. I can buy more discontinued Mother's Animal Cookies, I can eat In-N-Out all day, I can even go to Disneyland like once (that shit ain't cheap)! Fuck. All of us can go to T.G.I. Friday's and the Mudslides will be on me! It'll be a 24-hour party!

That's until the IRS comes to kill my fun and take me away in handcuffs. When I start screaming, "Melissa Etheridge told me I didn't have to pay taxes," they'll just nod their heads and shuttle me off to prison. Oh well. At least you can bring me warm Hot Pockets during visiting days. You'll owe me for all those cocktails I bought you! And I'm sure I can be someone's wife in the clink!

I swear, i've never read once in a bible that you had to get married in a courtroom and sign a piece of paper to be considered legally married by God or whoever you wanna call him or her. Who the fuck created that bullshit??!
********************
That's the problem. Gays can be married by anyone with a lisence. The STATE doesn't have to recognize it unless it's between a MAN and a WOMAN. A partner dies or God forbid, is on life support...their partner doesn't automatically get to make the choices for the gay partner. It gets even WORSE if they share children. Their partner doesn't automatically get the child that's been reared in a loving home with two parents, just because he/she's always lived there. The aren't asking for God's permission. They just want the same rights the rest of the legally mandated marriages in the USA afford them.

Bernd Heinrich writes about ravens. In one story he tells how two of his ravens (both male) built a nest and kept trying to mate, then they'd fight and make up.

OMG - These people are acting like homosexuality is new or something! If people have ALWAYS been homosexual - which they have - then doesn't that make it natural? If "God" didn't want us to have those feelings why didn't "He" just keep them from us? What kind of freak do people think "God" is, I wonder, up there testing us all the time! Does he laugh when we fail? Does he laugh with all the pious people laughing at our inability to find "Him"? Like, he's up there going: "Ok, so - if they wanna get into my club, they gotta build me some big buildings and meet there on the regular to go over the rules, and they gots to bake - I like baking - O yeah - and, sure, I made all these people but I only like the rich ones... And boys can ONLY love girls and girls can ONLY love boys! Cuz that other stuff is just ick! Now, lemme see - fish on Fridays...or Wednesdays...?..."

It just seems a little beneath "Him", you know?

Just got through watching Mah Boo and on a legal level, there is no decision as to the legality of those already married. The first lesbian couple married have already hired Gloria Alred as their lawyer to fight to keep their status as married.
The Mormon Church financed over half of the campaign to pass Prop 8 and enlisted/URGED members to go out and campaign.
Yes, The Mormon Church, you can 4567685 wives but TWO PEOPLE of the same sex can get legal marital status.

"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!

But didn't Melissa and the wife have their ceremony a few years ago? Did they get "officially" married while it was legal this year?

If they didn't, then they aren't legally married anyway, right? I get so confused !

Look at all the hetero couples who scream about "We don't need a piece of paper!" But gay couples want the piece of paper.

My cousin and her spouse had a wedding (in a Catholic church ceremony) in Illinois - it wasn't officially legal, but when my cousin got inseminated so they have two kids now, her spouse adopted them so both are the legal parents.

You can do that in Chicago, and that was the most important thing to them, to have both of them be the legal parents.
