More Federal Privileges to Extend to Same-Sex Couples
By MATT APUZZOFEB. 8, 2014
WASHINGTON — The federal government will soon treat married same-sex couples the same as heterosexual couples when they file for bankruptcy, testify in court or visit family in prison.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was preparing to issue policies aimed at eliminating the distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex married couples in the federal criminal justice system, according to a speech given at a Saturday event organized by a prominent gay-rights group.
“In every courthouse, in every proceeding and in every place where a member of the Department of Justice stands on behalf of the United States, they will strive to ensure that same-sex marriages receive the same privileges, protections and rights as opposite-sex marriages,” Mr. Holder’s said.
The changes were set in motion last year when the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional to refuse federal benefits to married same-sex couples, a ruling that Mr. Holder supported..................>>>>..................>>>>..........................http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02.....smid=tw-bna&_r=1

So much for 'States Rights' that Obama touted in 2012 regarding gay marriage |

From the link: The federal rules have no effect on state laws.
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriages. |

they shouldn't be making ANY rules based on marriage......it's not the government's job, state or fed to tell who can marry who....
WHY does the validation of who/what you are have to come from government, liberal or otherwise...... |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Michael Sam would be the first openly gay player in the NFL
he knows there will be problems... and they've already started.
