It's atonomical, not religious. But feel free to take it up with the man upstairs if you have a problem with that.
which was exactly my point although facts like these must be discovered else they be argued to death. In the state i currently reside, common-law marriage is not honored at all, period, regardless the public presentation, verbal agreement, engagement, co-habitation or intent.
Apparently by reading the guidelines, time isn't important either way. Hmm..
woooaaaaah, please put down the paintbrush and open your eyes !!!

No, but the LGBTQ community is trying to destroy the constitution and the United States with these types of issues. How is that arrogant of me?
I have every right to stand up for my children and my rights as a parent not to be trampled on by the LGBTQ community which advocates communism and socialism.
How is that arrogant of me?

The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Socialist Strategy
Socialist Feminism and Women's Liberation
Socialist feminism confronts the common root of sexism, racism and classism: the determination of a life of oppression or privilege based on accidents of birth or circumstances. Socialist feminism is an inclusive way of creating social change. We value synthesis and cooperation rather than conflict and competition.
We work against the exploitation and oppression of women who live with lower wages, inferior working conditions and subordination in the home, in society and in politics. Socialists struggle for the full freedom of women and men to control their own bodies and reproductive systems and to determine their own sexual orientation.
We stand for the right of women to choose to have a safe and legal abortion, at no cost, regardless of age, race, or circumstance.
Women’s independent organizations and caucuses are essential to full liberation, both before and after the transformation to socialism. Women will define their own liberation.
Liberation of Oppressed People
Bigotry and discrimination help the ruling class divide, exploit, and abuse workers here and in the Third World. The Socialist Party works to eliminate prejudice and discrimination in all its forms. We recognize the right of self-defense in the face of attacks; we also support non-violent direct action in combating oppression. We fully support strong and expanded affirmative action programs to help combat the entrenched inertia of a racist and sexist system which profits from discrimination and social division.
People of color, lesbians and gays, and other oppressed groups need independent organization to fight oppression. Racism will not be eliminated merely by eliminating capitalism.

There where actualy two men in the biblical ages who where married, they where respected and knowns as husbands, they went seprate ways to fight wars or something to that effect and sadly where killed by enimies. so this garbage saying its against the bible is only a lie and manipulation of homophobic individuals that have campaigned till today to repress others just because they are not gay.

I am saying that marriage is a union between man and woman. Gays have the right to marry and they always have.
in other words, by WHOSE definition, yours ??
until DOMA, neither SCOTUS or Congress established a specific definition of marriage.
the Church did and the State/local legislative bodies endorsed it.
doesn't make it right.
besides, that is not how the American system of equality was meant to be exercised.
yeah, right
It does not matter if you are gay or straight or white or black to me.
yes they do and hopefully soon they will arrive with less and less stigmata, prejudice and oppression of yesteryear.
Everyday has new beginnings
For your information, the Bible is a Historical Source of information on the subject and is the primary source.
