  8. Closing remarks.

I’m trying to remember whether it was a Straight Dope column or someone on this board who explained that polygamy is a matter of contract law, not sex.

I’m sorry, please strike my item from the Homosexual Agenda. I’ll be busy with the Jewish Agenda that afternoon.

Well, polygamy laws, yes. But they should keep BIGAMY laws on hand-isn’t that when someone marries someone else, without telling their new spouse they’re already married?

Jonathan, I don’t know whether you intended that to be offensive, or the single most witty remark I have ever seen.

I am assuming witty, and giggling uncontrollably.

No, I think it’s bigamy whether or not all parties know about each other.

Cher3, I noticed the “homosexual agenda” also. His comments are a good example of how much personal opinion and misinformation can have an effect on rulings. Shame on Scalia.

This is good for the whole country.

If I hadn’t been visiting the folks when I heard the news, I would have shouted for joy! I’m sure some people are spluttering with outrage out there, but I don’t care. Bring on the champagne, my lads, this one’s worth celebrating!

Oh, why not. I may be straight as a board, but I’ll still do the happy naked dance around the living room for this one! :smiley:

Ooh this is where I get to be all smug-like in my Canuckian splendor. When was it that (future) Prime Minister (then Minister of Justice) Pierre Trudeau said “The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation?” More than twenty years ago?

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Heh.
And also, a big neener-neener to the vile rightie pundit who was making an ass of himself on CNN tonight. He can puff up like a bullfrog all he wants, his son is still getting that perfectly legal b.j. in Florida tonight!

My favorite part of the decision (at least of what I’ve skimmed to date) -

WORD!!

'Tis a good day in the neighborhood!

Ye gods. Who’d have thought it? First same-sex marriage is okayed in canada, and now this. And both came to pass in Gay Pride Month. Yessss!

(Snug does the Snoopy dance)

Well, this is great. Another step taken towards the 20th century. If Pricegal were a guy, we’d celebrate appropriately.

Ah, to heck with it, we will anyway. Honey…?

This is good news for gay people and bad news for Strom. When he hears this the news will kill the old fart.

The senator then died.

Funny you should say that, Seven

Oh Jeebus. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…

Eek! Sorry but this ignorant foreigner did not even realise that there still were such laws. Well - I’m very glad they are on their way out then.

I’m laughing my ass off. I always wondered what it would take to kill that old guy.

Regarding refreshments at the next gay agenda meeting, may I suggest the aforementioned deviled eggs, deviled ham and devil’s food cake?

I was talking to my mother last night and mentioned, “the Supreme Court says we can have sodomy.” “Yes, I know, I read it in the newspaper,” she said, “That’s very nice, dear—but it’s not mandatory now, is it?”

You do realize, Eve, that last night somewhere (probably many somewheres) in this Great Land of Ours, wives/girfriends were rushing to develop new arguments, anticipating that long-denied husbands/boyfriends were going to show up with constitutional arguments… :wink:

I’m a bit late to the party, but WOOHOO!!!

This is fabulous, fabulous news.

Erm, was it wrong for me to find it funny that O’Connor’s opinion mentioned that sodomy convictions could prevent persons from becoming interior designers?
