Well, golly, here we were getting all optimistic about all those nice-time stories about how same-sex marriages aren't exactly destroying the fabric of society, and then along comes a giant turd like this:
I had a friend in North Carolina in the late 80's who worked with a clinic in Durham and she reported much the same thing except it was the protesters themselves who came to the clinic in need. I guess they figured they knew the address so why go elsewhere?
Really not true; remember that Jackson, St Louis and Boone counties contain roughly 2/3 of the state's population. The fact that benighted savages have with some success invaded, doesn't change the fact that either end of I-70 is where practically everyone in the state lives.
...aaaahhhh yes, let's not forget the case of "Florida vs. Neener-Neener Pooh Pooh". The precedent set in that case was groundbreaking!
...so let me get this straight, there ruling is essentially:
<strong>Since our discrimination in the past allowed us to deny marriage to this couple we can now build a case to discriminate against them in the present?!</strong>
An opposite-sex couple would be unmarried from choice, since marriage is an option. A same-sex couple&#039;s unmarried status is forced upon them, and so the marital status argument doesn&#039;t make sense.
In fairness, there are decent-sized pockets of liberal Missourians, hiding out in Jackson, St. Louis, and Boone Counties, that hate shit like this. Unfortunately, we are just vastly outnumbered by everyone else.

Missouri is now almost exactly like Pennsylvania: St Louis and Kansas City at either end, and Alabama in between.

I hear Vermont is pretty nice.
Yeah, no kidding, the point is that you can&#039;t criticize someone for not having done something that they in fact cannot legally do.
And sadly they had a general from Texas commanding them at one point. He tried to get as many killed as possible and did a good job.

Well, when you put it like that...
Feel the hate.

I guess Englehard&#039;s partner is supposed to be happy that a gay man was allowed to be a state employee to begin with.
