  5. Gay couples rush to get married after historic US Supreme Court ruling LOUISVILLE (Kentucky) Mr Benjamin Moore and Mr Tadd Roberts wore matching tuxedos to the county clerks office in Louisville to get married yesterday (June 26), and the mayor greeted them with a bottle of champagne. They were among a rush of gay couples across the South and Mid-west who celebrated the Supreme Courts ruling legalising same-sex marriage with spontaneous weddings. They were young and old, they wore gowns and suits or T-shirts and jeans, they kissed and waved flags that read love wins. Its just been incredible and historic and amazing to live this moment, Mr Moore said. The mayor took commemorative photos of him and Mr Roberts getting their licence. But the reaction wasnt as welcoming in some of the 14 states that had been the last holdouts against same-sex marriage, creating confusion as some officials embraced the ruling and others rebuffed it. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who has long fought against same-sex marriage, said states can fight the ruling, as they have decisions allowing slavery or abortion, and predicted that it would spark a national backlash from Christian conservatives. Theyve just disregarded everything that precedent holds, and theyve destroyed the foundation of our country which is family, Mr Roy Moore said. In rural Alabama, Pike County Probate Judge Wes Allen said he would stop issuing all marriage licences to avoid having to give them to gay couples. Mr Allen said Alabama law gives judges the option of granting licences, and I have chosen not to perform that function. Governors in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas also railed against the ruling. And clerks in some of the affected states refused to issue licences, citing a three-week grace period allowed by the Supreme Court or forms now out of date that specify bride and groom. But by yesterday afternoon, couples had received licences in all but one of the 14 states, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In Louisiana, where Republican Governor Bobby Jindal is running for the White House as a conservative Christian, same-sex couples were turned away. It was kind of bittersweet, said Mr Earl Benjamin, who waited with his partner for hours for a licence and was finally told that the states ban on same-sex marriage remained intact for now. In Texas, many counties held off on issuing same-sex marriage licences until receiving guidance from Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, who scolded the Supreme Court but left counties in limbo for hours. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood said yesterday that same-sex marriages cannot take place immediately. But amid the confusion over when weddings should legally begin, three couples received their marriage licences in Hattiesburg, and took their vows on the courthouse steps. Other clerks scrambled to issue licences as gay couples rushed to their offices. In Arkansas, Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane held a hand to his heart after the Supreme Courts ruling. It is a special day, he said, choking up. Im honoured to be a part of it. Ms Jessica Dent and Ms Carolee Taylor got married a few blocks from the courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama. Never thought it would happen in our lifetime, said Ms Taylor. After their ceremony, they returned to the courthouse to file their licence, making them officially married in the conservative state that had fought back against efforts to legalise gay marriage. After a federal judge ruled earlier this year that the states gay marriage ban was unconstitutional, about 500 same-sex couples were married before the Alabama Supreme Court directly ordered probate judges to stop issuing the licences. We waited so long. When it came through, I cant think of a better way to celebrate, the decision and our love, said Ms Dent, walking out of the courthouse holding a sign that said All love is equal. Some Southern politicians said they were concerned about the religious freedom of ministers, cake bakers and others who might be asked to participate in ceremonies. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott issued a memo saying the government should not pressure people to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs. He later clarified that he does not condone discrimination or authorise state agencies to deny benefits to same-sex couples. Mr Jindal also issued a statement vowing to never stop fighting for religious liberty. Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that, he wrote. The Supreme Court allows for a 25-day delay while it considers a rehearing. The Louisiana Clerks Association advised clerks to wait until then before issuing licences. In other states, governors, even those who disagree with the ruling, made decisive statements, calling gay marriage the law of the land and instructing their clerks to issue licences right away. Mass marriages were planned in Michigan, Kentucky and Georgia. Minister Danielle Goeckel stood on the steps of the Fulton County courthouse in Atlanta yesterday morning holding a sign reading: Yes I will gladly marry you! The fee for her services? Two hugs. In Arkansas, Pulaski County Judge Chris Piazza, who struck down the states gay-marriage ban last year, presided over one of the states first same-sex weddings. I looked at their faces and realized how much this meant to them, Mr Piazza said after marrying two men in his courtroom. Mr Luke Barlowe, one of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case, said hes pleased that their fight will save younger generations of gay people the pain he endured. But still he resents it took nine strangers on the Supreme Court to decide he has the right to love Mr Jimmy Meade, his partner of 47 years. They married in Iowa in 2009, and sued to have their marriage recognised in Kentucky. For decades, they hid their relationship, pretending to be roommates and avoiding public affection. Yesterday, they walked down the sidewalk in downtown Louisville, holding hands. AP http://m.todayonline.com/world/americas/gay-couples-rush-get-married-after-historic-us-supreme-court-ruling I never knew it is so sexicitng for same genders to get married. Sorry to those having a different sexual preference but I just can't imagine one day my son comes home wif another person's son and tell me they are getting married![grin]:omg:
  6. A lot of talk and court cases in recent times about gay and LGBT issues, including the penguin episode at our libraries. I wonder what the forummers here think of this very vocal group pushing for more rights. Personally, I am not in their camp. But don't flame me please.

  8. Seriously, if Vincent W is serious about it, he should name the priest. Otherwise, I think he seems to have a vendetta against the Catholic Church, after the Archbishop release a pro-family statement last weekend. http://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/vincent-wijeysingha-i-was-molested-catholic-priest-when-i-was-15 I see no grounds in Archbishop William Goh’s pronouncement on homosexuality for anything but contempt. Throughout its existence in Singapore, the church has raised its voice in support of little that Christianity has to offer the moral universe. Yet when it does, when one would expect it to affirm its teachings at Matthew 26:27 and in the first Letter to the Corinthians at Verse 13:13, it chooses one within a domain where it has no rights, given its own hideous record. The universal church is guilty of the systematic rape and abuse of children committed to the care of a clergy ostensibly vowed to celibacy. The response of the magisterium to the thousands of adults now asking it to repair the untold damage done to them in their childhood was first to threaten and coerce into silence and, when that failed, spend billions – yes, billions – of dollars in out of court settlements. Meanwhile, it shielded paedophile clerics from the intervention of the law. In some cases involving senior prelates, it appointed them to sinecures in the Vatican, putting them outside the ambit of local police authorities. Contrary to what has been put about that this is an isolated phenomenon limited to the United States and Ireland, this is a global phenomenon. While not as extensive as other dioceses, the local church in Singapore is not exempt. Some years ago, it was embroiled in a scandal involving a historical allegation of sexual abuse by a priest. The accused was transferred to another church where his access to children was unimpeded. When I was fifteen, I came into unfortunate contact with a priest who would engage me in play wrestling and attempt to touch my crotch in the process. He once brought me to his bedroom and took a stack of pornographic magazines from his wardrobe to show me. I was fifteen. I haven't till now disclosed this sorry incident publicly. It never seemed momentous and so far as I’m aware, it didn’t damage me. But Archbishop William Goh’s pronouncements this weekend prompted me to. The Catholic church long ago surrendered its right to participate in the moral debate and Goh’s statement must be put in this proper context. No one should be surprised that the Catholic church would possess such an ignominious history, given its intensely anti-human and anti-humane reaction to sexuality throughout the centuries. Dating back to the first decades of the Christian era, Paul of Tarsus set the stage for the future of Christian sexuality when he disseminated his own neuroses to the first Christian communities of the Levant. He was followed by a slew of Church Fathers whose aversion, indeed loathing, for the functions of their bodies, led to a theological settlement that placed the enjoyment of sex on a par with the great moral evils. Augustine of Hippo, a North African bishop of the fourth century, possessed of a deeply neurotic, self-hating personality, clarified and codified these bizarre reactions, turning them into the theology that the church now draws on to castigate me and my fellow LGBTs. Now, couple that with an enforced celibacy among the church’s officers, and you have a calamity of global proportions waiting to happen. And did: because the church attracted to its service, people deeply damaged by its strictures but also able to coerce the vulnerable into meeting their warped sexual needs. And the irruption of the child sex abuse scandals in the 1980s, inevitable on hindsight, showed the Catholic church for what it is: a cynical and manipulative institution as far away from the ideas of the carpenter of Nazareth as it is possible to be. And we should not forget that the church implemented the policy of celibacy not as a means of encouraging holiness but so that the Church government would not have to expend money on the upkeep of the widows and orphans of priests killed in the mission fields. That Goh’s pronouncement has shown the local church at its most disgraceful should surprise no one. What concerns me is the cynical attempt to portray the church as a compassionate and empathetic organisation concerned for the souls of LGBT people. This is entirely at odds with the teachings of the church government at the Vatican. Goh’s statement waters down the church’s real disgust for LGBT people. In 1986, a letter from Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei, the church’s propaganda unit, was sent out to the universal church. Then headed by Cardinal Ratzinger, a one-time member of Hitler’s Youth whom the church later elevated to the ‘throne’ of St Peter as Pope Benedict XVI, the letter described homosexuality as a “great moral evil” and homosexual people as “intrinsically disordered”. Note well that this letter came from the same man who was simultaneously advising bishops to conceal the sex abuse scandals then consuming his church. The Singapore episcopacy, in attempting to come across as nice guys intent only upon the salvation of souls, has masked the church’s real attitude to LGBT people. In doing so, it has further disfigured itself by the hypocrisy which characterised much of its history. Let the Catholic magisterium come out and declare its real revulsion towards LGBT people. And let them at the same time atone for the thousands of lives their church destroyed by the mischief of their ravenous priests. I will take them seriously then. Until then, I will take no moral instruction from those who seek to police my bedroom while turning a blind eye to the priests who lured little boys and little girls into theirs, to rape and bugger them with the connivance and the complicity of the episcopacy. The Catholic leadership has remained silent on the real problems that face our world. Today, it has no authority whatsoever, moral or otherwise, to comment on whom I can and cannot love.
