Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage

I do not think so when you have places like BYU and Ricks College in Idaho pumping out extremely socially conservative youth by the thousands.

The states biggest schools are public "liberal" institutions. BYU is far out numbered. Besides BYU I is merely a farm school for the real BYU. Seriously, nobody graduates from BYU I.

UVU alone has like 5-10k more students than BYU. Give it another 10 years and UVU's enrollment will be even greater. BYU's? When has BYU's local enrollment ever increased? They bring in more Koreans or Californians than Utahns.

Probably over 80% of people who attend byui actually graduate from there these days. The days of being a farm for Provo are gone. There are way too many students who want to go to Provo for it to need a farm school. From what I understand it is harder to transfer from Idaho to Provo now.
 
It's Ben a busy week. Not only can I marry my boi toy, but I can marry eight or nine of them if I want. This is so hawt!
 
Polygamy isn't legal. But cohabitation is not illegal. The polygamists getting prosecuted weren't actually trying to get multiple marriage licenses. The government was going after them for living and sleeping with multiple people. Basically the judge said, you can sleep and live with as many people as you want. You still can't marry them all at the courthouse though.
 
Good and ironic. It's only a matter of time before this will be the standard across the nation. Furthermore, those that say the concept of marriage is being destroyed should be happy to know that the divorce rate has been declining since the 1970's.

Looks like the state was denied a stay for SSM.

And they mad... so mad. "It's Chaos"... lol

Although, if I'm a county clerk, I'm a little concerned at the catch 22 I was just put in. News sites are reporting the following:

Some counties in Utah declined to issue licenses based on a section of state code that makes it a class A misdemeanor for county clerks to give one to anybody but a man and a woman, Salt Lake County deputy district attorney Darcy Goddard told Shelby during the hearing.

And, in typical fashion, Obama is to blame:

"It is patently wrong and unjust that the people of Utah should lose their right to define marriage because of the ruling of a single Obama appointee to the federal bench," [Brian]Brown[President of the National Organization for Marriage] said in a statement. "This decision provokes a constitutional crisis."

Yeah guys. Constitutional Crisis because your neighbor gets the same rights as you. Oh... darn.
 
I wonder how many people in Utah this actually affects? Any estimates on number of gay couples in Utah? Or a percentage across the country we can apply to Utah?
