I'm wondering about how it would apply as far as federal benefits and such. And moving from one state which recognizes the marriage to one that doesn't.

To be fair gay sex does hurt.  I mean that is an exit you're using as an entrance after all.

Ironbite-....what?

You're not doing it right.

For one thing, go slow.  You're not in a porn. (and even porn doesn't really do it the way they imply)

For another, you don't need to go all the way in right away.

I am resisting the urge to offer free lessons.  You realize this, right?

Also implies that anal sex is exclusively a homosexual act.

EDIT:  Well this is one of the more entertaining thread derails that I have ever seen.

So, anyway, George Takei had a pretty good response to Scalia's comparison between outlawing murder on moral grounds to outlawing sodomy on moral grounds.

Quote from: George Takei
That a sitting U.S. Justice could draw any kind of parallel between an act of love and tenderness on the one hand and an act of ultimate violence and evil on the other is more than disheartening; it sends a message to LGBT people everywhere that a member of our highest court cannot see us as anything but criminals, simply because of who we are and who we love. How can any gay couple coming before this court seeking equal treatment under the law have any realistic hope that Justice Scalia will fairly apply the rule of law and the principles of our Constitution, when all he sees before him are persons who should be locked up?

...

Justice Scalia had the unprofessional gall to make his preconceptions and animus toward LGBT persons public and crystal clear a mere few days after the Court agreed to review the cases. As he well knows, judges must avoid not only bias in their decisions, but the appearance of bias in their decision making, lest the judiciary fall even further into discredit in the eyes of the public. Now Justice Scalia should do the right thing and admit he cannot rule in this case fairly and impartially, and he should recuse from the cases. Should he fail to do so (and I have little expectation that he will), I hope and trust the fair-minded members of the Court will consider his poisonous preconceptions as unworthy of support–and toss them unceremoniously to the dungheap of history where they belong.

Emphasis mine

Personally I think the whole thing is ridiculous, even as a heterosexual. If consenting adults (regardless of gender) love each other, then who am I (or indeed anyone) to stop them?

Either way, I can only say I hope they rule in favor.

That's pretty much exactly how I feel.  I'm straight, but I have no problem with people who are gay, bi, or whatever getting married.  I honestly think it's quite sad that this is even still such a big issue.
