Marsha Shapiro and Louise Walpin married each other for the third time early Monday. But this time, it was especially memorable: They were among the first to tie the knot after same-sex marriage became legal in New Jersey.
A rabbi first "married" the couple in 1992 in a Jewish ceremony. They married a second time in New York in August 2012 after same-sex marriage became legal there.
The third time was just after midnight Thursday in the Garden State. The couple helped pave the way there through a 2011 lawsuit that brought about the change. New Jersey now becomes the 14th state to recognize gay marriages.
FULL STORY
Uh huh. Please read Mathew 7:1-5. Also, please note that the conversation is about civil marriage in a secular country. Mathew 19 says nothing about gays. In fact, Jesus said NADA about gays. Period.
georgeiii was an anglican fool who wanted to squash a budding nation...if it wasnt for the french we would be flying the union jack with the queen's head on our currency....thank god for the french hatred of the brits!
What does that have to do with civil marriage? Nothing. Oh, by the way, Henry VIII declared himself the head of the CoE. Papacy=Pope. Are you positing that the head of the CoE today, Elizabeth the II, is Pope Elizabeth? Absurd.
And I read many of the writings of the FF, including many of the Federalist Papers. What have I lied about? Be very specific. Very specific. Otherwise, you insults come off as a childish effort to detract from the fact that you haven't a clue as to what you're talking about.
That has nothing to do with the conversation. And Papacy=Pope. The Monarchs of England are the heads of the CoE; that's what they're called, NOT Pope Elizabeth II.
Please read the 1st Amendment and the 14th Amendment, and please understand that THIS is what I'm talking about.
Papacy=Pope. The heads of the Anglican Church are the Monarchs of England. Pope Elizabeth? Not hardly.
Sorry for the duplicate posts. They were under moderation.

Beep. Beep. Its 5:22
Wake up.
Cnn. U delete me one more time and i will jump off the brooklyn bridge
Banasy. There were no gay people in those days.
Wow. You're really uneducated, aren't you?
Snooze button.
Its true arlington. The first gay people didnt start coming out until 200 years later. Alexander the great was one of the first recorded gays in world history
The first gay couple in history is commonly regarded as Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, an ancient Egyptian male couple, who lived around 2400 BCE.
Make that recorded history. Apologies.
Alexander the Great died in June 323 BCE. Ge most certainly wasn't one of the first recorded gay people in world history, as I just posted above. He was A gay in recorded history; certainly one of the most famous.
Use your best Morgan Freeman impersonation: The U.S. A., A country that almost got it right. It used to be free. People made their own decisions, They made their own way. THEY ONCE BUILT THEIR WAY OF LIFE with there own hands. They were a proud people, a nation of thinkers and doers, and dreamers. THEN one day, A man who one the electoral college became president, Obama was his name, I man of mystery, A man neither black nor white, Some say he was from Hawaii, Some say from Kenya. No one knows really, All we know is, is that this MAN with no MEDICAL TRAINING what so ever, decided that the American people could no longer make their own decisions, That Medical Professionals who deserved the fruits of their labor, could no longer practice to be the best. They were not allowed to research, develop and practice to save lives. AND once more the LEMMINGS of the great country of the U.S.A. followed their leader. .............
MAN I could listen to Morgan Freeman Speak ALL DAY LONG!:
More tea with that whine? What a load of crap Wonder if the election hadn't been stolen in 2000 by a chickenhawk if we'd be in the mess we're in?
Those who deny history are bound to repeat it. The TP LIES must be stopped. They ADMIT they lie! They ADMIT it, and are unapologetic. Woe to this country if the RABID RATS of the TPers EVER come into power in the WH.
Now HOW do you KNOW there were no gay people in those days? With all the phobes in todays society you just gotta figure there were a heckuvalot more back then!
@ chrissy. Disagree
No chrissy. There were no gays back then
Then why would gay behavior be prohibited for Levite priests in the OT if it "didn't happen back then?" Hello? S&G, anyone?
Absurd. Gay people have existed since time immortal. Just stop.
200 years after what?
Two drunks are walking along. One drunk says to the other, "What a beautiful night, look at the moon."
The other drunk stops and looks at his drunken friend, "You are wrong. That's not the moon, that's the sun."
Both started arguing for a while when they came upon another drunk walking, so they stopped him. "Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that's shining. Is it the moon or the sun?"
The third drunk looked at the sky and then looked at them and said, "Sorry, I don't live around here."
No. no gay people until 2400 b.c.
U know banasy. 200 years later from what U mentioned
What did I mention?
Lmao cute @ bobcat! I so needed that, thank you very much.
The first gay couple were two gay guys in egypt found in a tomb. They were mum.mies.
Can we say mum.mies?
They were holding hands but de ad.
Year was 2400 b.c.
So there. The proff is in the pudding.
We agree, essentially, that the first RECORDED episode, (not their bodies but hieroglyphic inscriptions on their tomb) was in 2400 BCE. It existed before then, you may be sure. It just wasn't RECORDED. SO? What is your point?
