Wow, a pope who acknowledges the realities and sometimes difficult choices of a woman’s life and her right to make them and receive absolution. A welcome revolution in catholic thought and preaching.

I saw the same one in school. I’m pretty sure the actors were underage and I’m pretty sure that’s INTERPOL knocking on my door because of it.

Same here. We also watched Excalibur. We were told about this by upperclassmen, to wait for her to run up to the screen with a piece of cardboard to cover it. It was hilarious. She was no prude, she just knew someone’s parent would throw a fit.

yes. this was that one.

I swear my sophomore English teacher showed us a version of Romeo & Juliet that had brief nudity. This was pre-internet, so any glimpse of boobs was legitimately a big deal.

I’d rather have a 1.7 carat flawless diamond than some 2.5 carat, gawdy piece of shit with no clarity and a bad cut.

“he was put in Goodell Jail for all but one game last season”

In case we need a reminder of Goodell’s awfulness, that was games 2-16, as Goodell had no intention of doing anything about Hardy until the Rice tape came out after week 1.

$80K in USD>?!?? holy shit but i am a junior jr. jr. engineer and i literally do not make HALF THAT (in Canadian dollars), please kill me immediately

I want to die so everyone will forget all the horrible awful shit I said when I was alive. Still won’t ever match the obscenely high level of horrible awful shit Joan River’s has said. Maybe they’ll even fool themselves into thinking racism is funny!

Absolutely. If this gets by, my Catholic pharmacist can refuse to disperse my birth control; a Jehovah’s Witness medical professional can refuse to give a patient a blood transfusion, or a Scientologist psychiatrist could refuse antidepressants to patients in need. This has NOTHING to do with religious freedom.

Or When the Supreme Court rules the Corporations can hold Religious Beliefs and then they discover that their “Religion” doesn’t include safetey regulations, taxes or government oversight. ... this lady is on track to bring down a whole house of cards

Agreed. That is why she needs to go out with a whimper. No jail time. Just a buttload of debt in fines and fees.

Well, no, it's more like a pharmacist refusing to dispense birth control because it's against their religious beliefs, which is a precedent that's already been set.

Joan would say something racist and/or misogynist and then screech “AMIRITE?!” while everyone cringed at how old and shitty she was. Then her nose would fall off, Michael Jackson style.

It’s really not funny. I joke because, although I am an ally, I am not one of the couples routinely being denied a basic human right due to her prejudice. I am fully aware that I joke past my privilege. But I joke because I am tired of crying.

Poor font choice — on my monitor, the lower case “e” looks very much like the lower case “c”, and the capital “A” doesn’t have a cross-bar. Readability is much worse than it was before.

I agree—all of these hyperbolic, double-speak, poorly thought out arguments are incredibly dangerous.

The better response is that issuing marriage licenses is literally her business. She’s disrupting her business by not issuing licenses, not the people asking her.

Her $80,000 salary, divided by the 23,000+ residents of Rowan County, KY, is roughly $3.40 per person per year, or nine-tenths of a penny per citizen per…

The couple that visited today to request a license told her they had been together for 17 years. They then asked her how long each of her four marriages has lasted.

she’ll find some way to justify it with bible verses. like my uncle who refused to come to my gay brother’s wedding but had no problem defending his divorce. it’s a pretty special talent.
