Best Wishes on Your Upcoming Nuptials

Same sex couples celebrated; they're allowed to wed

After the decision that what people do in bed

Doesn't make a marriage - shouldn't matter to the State.

Love is love.  It's not their business who we choose as mate.

There are some "religious" people who would disagree,

Fearful that a marriage which is legal civilly 

Means that churches will be forced to bless a wedding vow...

(Why would same sex couples want their blessings anyhow?)

Church and State are separated; thus, a church is free

To continue on a path of righteous bigotry

But, discrimination's not the purview of  the Feds

So let me congratulate the country's newlyweds.

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Here in the United States our highest court just said

Same sex couples in 11 states could go ahead;

Send the invitations, pick the cake, and rent the hall.

The Supreme Court Justices decided that they'd stall.

Seven cases pending they've elected not to hear;

Justices have put the issue off another year.

Groups in opposition to an equal marriage right

Say that they're preparing for a lengthy, legal fight.

Meanwhile, there are 30 states where what you do in bed

Doesn't make a difference in who you choose to wed.

So, for those who - when bouquets were tossed - forgot to duck,

May I wish the newly wedded couples lots of luck.

Unsolicited Advice for Arizona's Governor

I say, "Let them eat cake!" (Photo/Courtesy of WeddingCakeCreations.com)

Governor of Arizona has a choice to make;

Can a shop refuse requests to bake a wedding cake

If the owner thinks that God would strongly disapprove?

Arizona's Senate passed the bill.  It's Brewer's move.

Will she sign it in to law or veto it instead?

Is discrimination based on who you want to wed

Similar to that about the color of your skin?

Either way she chooses though, Jan Brewer cannot win.

If she signs it in to law it doesn't end the fight;

Only ones who want her to are the religious right.

Even John McCain and Romney asked her not to sign.

It's all up to her right now but, if the choice were mine,

I would like to think that I would choose for equal rights.

But I'd ask LGBTs to pick some better fights.

If a person doesn't like you just because you're gay

Why would you spend money at their business, anyway?

Even if you have the right to force them to, what for?

You could never trust the people working at that store.

Find a better bakery, with folks who wish you well.

Tell religious bigots there that they can go to hell.

The Supreme Court's overturned Defense of Marriage Act.

Feds will have to honor a gay couple's wedding pact

When the 2 are married in a state where it's okay.

Prop 8 failed because they ruled opponents had no say.

Won on technicalities and - though a win's a win

It won't help in states where same-sex marriage is a sin.

Question is; what happens if that same-sex couple moves

To a state whose Legislature strongly disapproves?

Will the U.S. recognize that couple's marriage if

They are in a state where opposition to them's stiff?

There are still too many states where love's against the law.

If States' Rights protect discrimination that's a flaw.

Issue will be back before the Court, I guarantee.

But, this is a major step if you're L.G.B.T.

Come to Massachusetts - you're all welcome here with us.

Marriages are legal 'cause this state is fabulous.

...And just wait until you see the Berkshires!

Race for the White House - Profiles in Courage

President Obama expresses personal support for gay marriage in a recent interview with ABC.

In a recent interview, Obama said that he

Had been reassessing his views on equality.

Said that his opinion now's that marriages are for

Everyone who is committed - whether rich or poor,

Sick or well - 'til death do part... No matter if your mate

Has the same anatomy as yours.  Whatever. Great!

President has made me proud and has my full support.

Disagree with those who say his words have fallen short.

Presidents don't go there; think he's showing leadership.

Can't go any farther when the Nation's in the grip

Of a massive culture war...  And that  road we've been down.

If he'd called for federal law they'd run him out of town.

And, in related news...

Wondering if Shepard Smith still has a job today?

Pretty sure that FOX employees aren't allowed to say

Anything that's positive about the President...

Last night though, Smith (like Obama) set new precedent.

Phrases like "courageous" and "historic" crossed his lips.

Careful Shep! I don't think Murdock likes those kinds of slips.

He prefers his guys just shy of foaming at the mouth

Fomenting another war between the North and South.
