I thought New Paltz, NY was first. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #18

No sheshe2 Oct 2014 #19

Uhhh... isn't Feb. 27, 2004 before May 17, 2004? LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #22

How can the OP ignore this? Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #26

Probably too busy being pissed about having to look up wikipedia links. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #28

They were not barred in MA. sheshe2 Oct 2014 #34

You're the one that got snippy about being wrong. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #37

Yes. February is before May. Why did you say no? What kind of revisionist history are you trying to Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #27

10 years ago on February 12th, San Francisco introduces marriage equality! First in the nation. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #20

You are the 2nd person that sheshe2 Oct 2014 #21

Link and I was there handing out flowers... Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #23

Yet sheshe2 Oct 2014 #29

So what. The title of you OP is a lie. It denies those who came first. And it denies the pioneers of Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #30

You want to have squatters rights? sheshe2 Oct 2014 #39

I want the truth. You seem unwilling to tell it. You take something factually beautiful and diminish Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #49

Your posts to me are very rude and ugly. sheshe2 Oct 2014 #95

Post removed Post removed Oct 2014 #96

Hold all the crap you posted me (ahem) sheshe2 Oct 2014 #99

Yup, those gay marriages were declared void! Major Hogwash Oct 2014 #33

Does that mean they didn't happen? Will you deny that marriage equality was INTRODUCED in Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #35

Since you want to jump on the OP for no apparent reason William769 Oct 2014 #41

Oh, I know that. And she was a peach! Totally off the grid. I wish I had an opportunity to Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #52

Ya think! sheshe2 Oct 2014 #40

This right here is why I stopped posting. William769 Oct 2014 #45

aaaah William.... sheshe2 Oct 2014 #51

I set them "straight". William769 Oct 2014 #53

I ain't strait. And I've been a member of queer politics for 3 decades. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #55

Then act like it. nt William769 Oct 2014 #65

I am acting like it. San Francisco was the first in the nation to declare marriage Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #73

So you are denying what happened in Boulder in 1975. Alrighty then. William769 Oct 2014 #74

Apparently, you have no problem with the OP denying it. In fact, you seem to encourage her to deny. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #78

The article is about a State legalizing Gay marriage. William769 Oct 2014 #82

Really? Massachusetts INTRODUCES US to marriage equality. INTRODUCED US? Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #86

Apparently, you also sent the OP "straight." Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #58

Not at all, from a leagel point of view she is correct. William769 Oct 2014 #60

It was legal in San Francisco when Newsom declared it so. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #61

It was legal in Boulder too when it was issued. So whats your point? William769 Oct 2014 #62

So why aren't you ripping the OP a new one? Why are you not taking her to task for Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #69

So you agree with the OP that Massachusetts introduced the country to marriage equality. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #64

Legally yes. William769 Oct 2014 #66

Nope. Legally, San Francisco did. What kind of person denies this.? Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #71

The same person that denies Boulder did it in 1975. William769 Oct 2014 #72

Boulder did not. A wonderful women did. Boulder and the state of Colorado denied her initiative. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #77

That lady started the ball rolling. William769 Oct 2014 #79

So you agree. Massachusetts did NOT introduce us to marriage equality. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #83

They did legally. I know it doesn't fit with what you are trying to sell. But there it is. William769 Oct 2014 #85

What am I trying to sell? Both San Francisco and New Paltz preceded Massachusetts, legally. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #90

Then why were all those licenses voided by the Supreme Court if they were legal? William769 Oct 2014 #92

Really, William? They were legal when they were issued. They were legal when hundreds of Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #97

Shiiiitttttt, gurl, I knew that! Major Hogwash Oct 2014 #50

That's right. Gavin Newsom did it first. Then, it was the guy in New Paltz, NY. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #24

Truly. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #25

You are so wrong. William769 Oct 2014 #42

Maaannn! So the OP's article was wrong by 29 years and 2 months. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #47

Not at all. William769 Oct 2014 #48

Well, since we are fighting over semantics. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #67

Any reasonable sane person in touch with reality undtstands the article. William769 Oct 2014 #68

Meh... That's your prerogative to be demonstrably wrong. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #75

You have yet to show where it's wrong. nt William769 Oct 2014 #76

Yeah, I did in two different ways. LostInAnomie Oct 2014 #91

Stupid thing to argue about. cherokeeprogressive Oct 2014 #32

No it isn't. I fucking hate revisionist history. It is a fucking fact that San Francisco INTRODUCED Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #36

No they didn't. Want to wipe the egg off your face now? William769 Oct 2014 #43

Nope. As GOVERNMENT policy, San Francisco was the first. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #56

Just admit you were wrong and move on. William769 Oct 2014 #59

If I am wrong, then so is the OP. Take her to task. The balls in your court. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #80

How is the OP wrong? William769 Oct 2014 #84

"Introduced gay marriage". It's like Columbus discover America. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #87

So are you saying they did not legally introduce Gay marriage 10 years ago? William769 Oct 2014 #89

I am saying that Massachusetts did not introduce marriage equality. Luminous Animal Oct 2014 #93

I just got the low down on you. William769 Oct 2014 #94
