Gay and lesbian rights advocates continued their undefeated run Thursday when a federal judge ruled Florida's same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional -- though he didn't go so far to allow such marriages to take place right away.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle noted in his ruling that his is now one of 19 federal courts that have struck down state laws that bar gay and lesbian couples from marrying. While most of the time those decisions were put on hold as appeals work their way through the system, they have all reached the conclusion.

Curious: does homosexuality seem more prevalent nowadays rather than, say, 30 years ago or is it just publicized more?

I support gay marriage, for the record. If they wanna marry, IDGAF. It doesn't affect me.

As many people have said, it has gone from "The love that dare not speak its name" to "The love that won't shut the frick up."

Like those other judges, Hinkle said the Florida ban -- first put into law in 1977 and written into the state's constitution after a 2008 referendum -- violates the "due process" and "equal protection" provisions in the U.S. Constitution.

Unless the fed gets involved, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia won't be doing it anytime soon. Mississippi will be 20 years behind the 49th state to do it.

Which would be ironic since you really can't get more gay than Hotty Toddy Gosh Amighty.

Also, a little known factoid.... Alabama's highest elected official was gay, Vice President. And his lover, a president. Know their names without googling?

Come out come out wherever you are.

I mean we know you're online from 6 am to midnight every day. You're definitely not doing your "manly duties". Just ditch the fish and make the switch and be done with it.

The president you're referring to, has to be Buchanan.

See that's how the Rammer Jammer cheer came about. It's actually what Vice President King would say to President Buchannan.

That's two factoids in one!










Ok I made one up
