Hey, who let the halfwit in? Go away, halfwit. ETA: You’re the halfwit, **D’Anconia**. I realized that would go over your head, so I helpfully explained it for you. ---

Rachel Maddow did a piece on her tonight and interviewed one of the gay couples who was refused a license today. They live in the county. Also revealed is that Little Miss Holy Kim had a child 5 months after divorcing her first husband by the man who became her third husband, and the child was adopted by her second husband. I’m sure all this was before she was saved. ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > Rachel Maddow did a piece on her tonight and interviewed one of the gay couples who was refused a license today. They live in the county. Supposedly, there are four couples seeking licenses who have been refused. Only one couple live in the county? That’s pretty much what I expected. Also, rational adults don’t react to disagreeable news by “emerging red-eyed and shaking”, nor by “swaying”. WTF is up with that? Especially the “swaying” part.

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > Supposedly, there are four couples seeking licenses who have been refused. Only one couple live in the county? That’s pretty much what I expected. How about a cite for your “supposedly” rather than putting your biases on such clear display. Where are you getting the info only one couple lives in the county? And if that were the case, why would that be relevant? Bigotry is bigotry. And contempt for the law and upholding the state and federal constitutions is still contempt. ---

Perhaps I should have been clearer. The couple she interviewed lived in the county. I do not know if the other three couples (1 homosexual, 2 heterosexual) also live in the county, but that was my impression. ---
