They're falling like dominoes...

Unlike the Utah federal judge, he stayed the execution pending the appeal, but still this is progress.

The SCOTUS has already ruled these kinds of laws unconstitutional.  They're just bloviating.

Moving forward and surprisingly fast.  The dam seems to be breaking.  Freedom and equality is flowing.  I don't think it can be stopped now.

I can't wait for the blow job thingy to get to the courts.  That's going to be great fun to watch.  I suspect it will just end up being one of those blue laws that remain on the books.  I can't see politicians jumping on the blow job band wagon.  It's just too silly to be an issue, and would make the whole idea of State Legislators a joke.

Or maybe Virginia will pass a Missionary Position Only law.  That would be quite popular, I'm sure.  They have this bumper sticker that says Virginia is for Lovers.  Would they add qualifiers to that?  How could they fit them all on a bumper sticker?  Great fun!

Bumper sticker: Virginia is for lovers, but only one married man and one married woman who ONLY fuck in the missionary position under the covers with the lights off. We prefer they be married to each other,  but we couldn't fit that on the bumper sticker.  :-D

There needs to be a cover between them with a hole in it as well. And the woman should be wearing a burqa with a hole in it. Also no thrusting, the man must simply let it "soak" in her. There must be no kissing or direct eye contact. After the act they must wash their naughty bits in holy water, then whip themselves exactly 113 times. After taking and maintaining a vow of total silence for six months they are done!

And that is how you make sex pure before the eyes of God.

I forgot to add that the total duration of the act may be no longer than 3 minutes. There must be absolutely no utterances at all. The bed the act took place on must be burned along with all the sheets.

And as a bonus, that practice helps keep the bed bugs at bay.

There's still a stay, pending appeals. Battle's not over. Gay marriages aren't taking place there yet.

Yes, there are still the appeals, but I'm feeling confident about this.  Note however, me feeling confident is often a bad sign, as I'm bad at making political predictions.  When it comes to anticipating the court my, guesses have a 50% chance, even when I think the outcome seems hands down and obvious.
