View Full Version : OKLAHOMA Ban on Gay marriage struck down ... kinda, sorta
kevinpate 01-14-2014, 06:41 PM On the one hand, US Senior District Judge Terence Kern struck down the state's ban on gay marriage.
On the other, he stayed the effect of that strike pending action in higher courts (which will likely resolve the issue via a Utah case that is further along the appellate process.)

BlackmoreRulz 01-14-2014, 06:58 PM Now why would gar's need to get married? Can't they just spawn like the other fishies?
mkjeeves 01-14-2014, 06:59 PM Hee. No where but Oklahoma would we be talking about marrying gar.
kevinpate 01-14-2014, 07:05 PM Thanks for that. Fixed it. Almost left it though, but then I decided I did give a carp after all.
BlackmoreRulz 01-14-2014, 07:07 PM Coulda left it for the halibut...
trousers 01-14-2014, 07:14 PM Easy now. You guys cod deFINitely do better than this.

OKCDrummer77 01-14-2014, 08:20 PM I can't believe I got lured into reading this thread...
Something is very fishy about this thread.
Happens when you work for scale.
Martin 01-14-2014, 08:25 PM you guys are floundering as there's already a thread about this in the politics section. or was this done on porpoise? so... for now we'll keep this thread on deck as long as it remains a friendlier discussion. but i'll have to close it if folks start trolling and give me a haddock. -Marlin
I like that they banned the ban but you know they will keep on trying. With all the misery of teen pregnancies and abused children in this state maybe they should not worry so much about 2 people that love each other that want to get married.
kevinpate 01-14-2014, 08:49 PM I didn't even think to look in the politics thread first. I stopped fishing that stream a while back.

(South Park Reference coming if no one gets this)
venture 01-14-2014, 11:06 PM Oh lord. LOL
Serious comment quick: Great news. Did the thread in the political section because I didn't expect it to stay civil for long - so far so good for the most part.
Now since someone said fish sticks, I need some custard.

Plutonic Panda 01-27-2014, 11:08 PM Oklahoma should just legalize gay marriage? Wouldn't we be the first state in the midwest/south to do it? Can you get married with a partner of the same sex in Oklahoma at this current point in time?

In order:
Many would disagree. Many would not.
No certain.
No. The effect of the judge's recent order was stayed (geld) by the judge, pending resolution in the case in Utah.
