Couples waited in line to apply for their marriage license today outside the DC courthouse. Not a big deal usually except these couples were same sex couples.
No one was married today, there is a three day waiting period, but next week there will be an awful lot of newlyweds.
The day of celebration was not without disruption. Fred Phelps‘ Westboro Baptist Church was there to protest, name call, and be generally offensive. Fred Phelps and his minions are the people who protest at funerals for service men and women, they hate jews, they hate fags. They run around holding signs that say “God Hates Fagsthey are basically the scum in my opinion.
That’s them holding their “God Hates Fags” sign and this picture was taken at a protest last year. Sorry I can’t remember which one it was, nor who took the picture. I had permission last year but don’t know how long that is good for. If you took this picture and want credit please leave a comment and I will update.

Woohoo! I’m kinda surprised it actually passed in D.C., but happy it did!
Hey! Whats Happnin’ on this wonderful Sunday. I am so glad you ‘dropped’ by. The Redhead, told me about your site. Then I commented on those ‘Evil’ Creeps, taking God’s name in vain.
While I don’t know you well enough to say, but….We probably don’t agree on much. I do know however, that I respect your God Given Right, to say what you believe.
‘Kids of Queers’ are lucky indeed. If they come from a Loving, caring family—I don’t care who you are! Lord knows there’s encough F’d up kids from hetro parents F’ing up the world already.
However, I think the whole Queer, and ‘Marriage’ thing is hurting your evolutionary cause. Cause I have been ‘Married’, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be!
Call it whatever you want(Just not Married). You have the same ‘legal’ rights, as the rest of us, OK?
Have a Blessed Sunday

I’m pretty surprised that it passed in DC as well, just because it’s such a controversial decision and it’s an election year. I bet it was insane with protesters.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Very deep post you got going over here…I am not one to sit and judge something as intimate as a marriage between two people. I am not sure why it is such a big deal. America is the land of the free, right?
Anyway when I see people with signs like that it makes me sad. God doesn’t love haters, and people who cast stones.
I hate those freakin idiots. We finally got rid of them, they were here in Norfolk for a whole damn week and I’ll tell you what really got to me. I was outside in the dog park with my mutt and here they all come strolling down the street with all their stupid signs laughing and giggling like they were in some kind of parade – it was pathetic and there were a lot of young teens and kids with them. Wonder what kind of adults they’ll be.
marriage is great specially if you have found a very special someone that is beautiful both on the inside and outside.:~;
marriage is of course very sacred that is why both partners should give respect to each other ,“
