congrats | 10:59 a.m. April 17, 2008

I dont know much about it but it sounds like a great idea. I hope more couples can take advantage.

Congrats Brandie and Lisa!

This registry is one small step down the road to the graveyard of the traditional family. Is legalization of polygamy next?

And in a shocking turn of events for all the Utah County Neo-Con's...Salt Lake City DID NOT collapse in on itself, or slide into the Great Salt Lake for their horrible sin of granting a domestic partnership application.

And what, a 50% rate of divorce didn't bring us there already?

Seriously, letting people who love, be in love shouldn't damage YOUR relationship at all, unless its on darn shaky ground to begin with.

CONGRATULATIONS BRANDIE & LISA !!!!!!!!!!

A more loving, devoted family you will not find anywhere. They deserve protection and respect as much as any non-homosexual couple.

*raises glass*

I know that I feel like my marriage is now not as strong. certainly this turn of events will doom us all!

Give me a break "one small step." I guess live and let live only applies to those who share your skewed values

The slope is getting more slippery.

A torn tent provides shelter, a sturdy brick home provides shelter. Which provides better shelter? Call any combination a you want a "marriage", the traditional one man, one woman marriage is still and will always be the best, just as a sturdy brick house provides better shelter than a torn tent.

re: response | 12:44 p.m. April 17, 2008

what gives you the right to judge others values?? and how does some stangers relationship make yours any different? if your marrage is not as strong thats your own fault not someone elses.to say this turn of events will doom us all is ridiculus we all make our own destiny we are not all doomed if someone else does something you dont aprove of!

Wow | 12:49 p.m. April 17, 2008

A seven-year relationship: I wonder how many "traditional" marriages end long before that? Congratulations to Brandie and Lisa!

"One small step" SHOULD be worried about the strength of her marriage if two consenting adults in a committed relationship can affect it. I feel sorry for your spouse. You sure have one small mind!!

Bob | 12:54 p.m. April 17, 2008

congratulations to the happy couple!

One small step's comment betrays the bankrupt, arrogant values of Utah's religious majority. But it's fine with me. All the bigotry Mormons hurl at gays will get hurled back at them.

Hey, lost in DC! | 1:09 p.m. April 17, 2008

Maybe if CONSENTING ADULTS had legal access to that sturdy brick house, they'd have better shelter.

GreenCard | 1:28 p.m. April 17, 2008

I have a friend who was married in the Temple to a what I thought was a nice woman. Well she just recently celebrated that she received her citizenship and asked for a divorce. What happened to time and all eternity.. well once you have your Green Card that all goes down the drain.

Congratz to Brandie and Lisa...

There are all different kinds of families. Whether children are raised by grandparents or one parent or two mothers. As long as there is love in the home, that is all that matters. If a spouse dies is that no longer considered a traditional marriage? This is a great idea and I am glad Salt Lake City is offering it.

Mormons | 1:30 p.m. April 17, 2008

Because everyone knows the Mormon's are the only ones who oppose the partnerships Richy G. references. Maybe I could borrow the paintbrush you use to paint all Mormons as bigots. Then I could paint all GLTB as bigots, too.

Re: re: response | 1:30 p.m. April 17, 2008

Um...pretty sure "response was being facetious, dude...

Whatever Richard | 1:45 p.m. April 17, 2008

Just as you want to pigeon hold Mormon's for being close-minded as per your idiotic comment, aren't you doing the same to every Mormon...get off your liberal high horse and realize that not every Mormon thinks that way. But if you want to play fire with fire here it is: the most close minded people I know are LIBERALS!!!

Dutchman | 1:42 p.m. April 17, 2008

Brandie and Lisa, be thankful you live in Utah or at least Salt Lake City. I dare say that if you lived in Texas the registry that you just signed would be used to round you up and place you in detention. Thank goodness people here seem to have a sense of fairness.

UtahCivil | 1:50 p.m. April 17, 2008

Seeing how this event went down I guess they were right when they described this as "Gay Marriage" lite. People can say what they want but the PC crowd has done a marvelous job of watering down morals to the point where they mean nothing at all anymore. Call me a homophobe, bigot, racist, etc....It doesn't really matter. I will just say that marriage was meant for the creation and nurturing of children. This does neither.
