I feel like the New York Human Rights Commission probably has better things to do.

This is analogous to white folks who think it’s racist for minorities to form their own groups (e.g. Black student union). Just fuck off already.

Yikes. Maybe it would be like back in the day where the brothers try to kill one another in pursuit of the crown.

I dunno making rump king means we get one of his idiot sons next which seems even worse.

A year from now, things will look very different. We’re gonna beat this.

Can’t be said enough.

Vote vote vote vote vote. Vote in every local election. Vote every time they crack the door to the polling place. Fucking VOTE.

Agreed. An allowance for minors to marry, if they have parental consent, is really there so that religious fundamentalists (mostly of the Christian persuasion) can skirt what is otherwise the law for everyone else. It’s ripe for abuse: all that parents have to do is coerce their young, confused, dependent daughters…

Jesus fucking Christ

Jesus fucking Christ, can’t wait for this story to blow up from my former classmates from San Antonio who believe Sharia law is a serious threat to Texas and all.

Another reason why all marriages, even those with parental consent, should be illegal for minors to entire into.

The Cause and Solution to all of Life’s Problems.

Religion + Greed = assholes.

And the almighty dollar. 20 fucking grand for your daughter? Rot in hell

Religion.

I keep hearing she was ‘overwhelmed by nerves,’ etc. I think it’s more likely that she’s dealing with PTSD- puking is a common symptom especially when reliving the event. It undermines the seriousness of the situation to say she’s just got charming ‘nerves’ or ‘stage fright.’

Many of us don’t have the courage this young lady has in her pinkie finger to get through the trials she has.

Courage !!!

I was listening to the radio with three 11-year old girls. Given how many times they repeated to their mom, brother, sister ... I know they were moved. As was I. Deeply.

Holy shit, what a boss. Who knew footage of a teenager puking in front of thousands of people could be so damn inspirational?
