Colorado's Polis marries longtime partner in first same-sex marriage for a sitting governor
But I had to chuckle at "traditional Jewish wedding ceremony." That's cute. And on (or, at least, in the hours leading up to) Yom Kippur, no less.
I'll give them this: They have the right gender ratio of 2 men and 1 woman typically found in a "traditional Jewish wedding ceremony" between the two parties getting married and the rabbi. It's just a bit of a mix-and-match job.

"At an Orthodox wedding, the bride's mother is pregnant. At a Conservative wedding, the bride is pregnant. At a Reform wedding, the rabbi is pregnant. At a Reconstructionist wedding, the rabbi and her wife are both pregnant."

@Mott-The-Hoople
But where are the repubs now? The only ones I see are Trumpites.
The republican party is long dead, ten years gone.
ONLY Trump students are in it now.

@mott-the-hoople saidThe differences between the two are subtle.
you confuse republican with conservative.
But as I have said all along, conservatism is mostly at the social level.
You should worry more about your perpetual confusions.
Confusing Democrats with communism.

You two should be ok with same sex marriage, there can be no abortions from those unions.

I imagine humans would be much better off if Satan was the world religion.
Organized religions are the scourge of mankind and always will be.
All you have to do to see that is look at the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
And then there were the crusades.
Then there was christians taking over the US killing 90 odd % of all native cultures in so doing.
Yep, those religions are SO benign. NOTHING but the welfare of the congregation at heart.

@sonhouse saidYeah, we should not have taken over the 4M square miles that became USA. I can’t believe the natives’ government could have controlled it from one border to another , but their sovereignty should have been obvious, and we, like today’s aliens to the south, should not violate sovereignty.

It should have been left for the natives to develop. I wonder if the iPhones they would have developed would be compatible with ours?
Oh, Sonhouse.....
