SSM marriage begins in South Carolina

The Earth is still spinning on its axis.

There was a decided lack of lighting bolts smiting anyone.

The children are just fine, thank you.

Everyone else’s marriage is just the same as before.
And gay marriage has begun in South Carolina.
*and I can’t spell. Any passing kind Mod, feel free to fix the typo in the thread title.

Where’s the “Like” button on this thing?

Yep, it’s amazing. Neighbor’s kids got on the bus way too damned early, just like any weekday. My marriage isn’t cowering in a corner, fearing for its life. So far no bolts out of the blue that I’ve seen or heard. It’s cold as snot thought, maybe this is the beginning of hell freezing over? :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, it’s still early.

Last ditch appeal to the US Supreme Court is denied.

Noticeable lack of blood in the rivers.

Still no lightning bolts.

No swarms of locust either.

Sure, no problem yet, but you liberals will eat your words when the Nazis riding dinosaurs take over the state legislature.

See, everybody said if South Carolina allowed gay marriage we’d wake up in hell. But I woke up this morning and couldn’t tell if I was in hell or just still in South Carolina.

I know you shouldn’t read the comments on news articles, like, ever, but here’s a real gem: “Well, the way this has played out in the media, I would have thought THOUSANDS of gay men and women would be beating down the doors to get married…and we get a whopping TWO couples…once again proving that the wishes, opinions, and votes of the overwhelming majority don’t count for squat.”

It isn’t a gem because of the content, but because of the profile picture of the commenter - it’s him, a white guy, with his black wife. People ask him about it in the comments to the comment and he confirms that that’s him and his wife. He doesn’t seem to get the irony.

Just wait. First bad thing that happens in the state and some a-holes will be claiming it is God’s Wrath for SSM.

First bad thing anywhere in the world. Dude’s got shitty aim.

I’m ashamed that South Carolina has entered the 21st century, while Ohio can’t even leave the 19th.

I don’t think they’ll wait for something to befall South Carolina. An earthquake in Ecuador will suit their purposes. Their version of God is well known for his terrible aim.

ETA: ninja’d, dammit! :smiley:
