Lesbians Seeking Marriage Find Trespassing Charges
America sure can be screwy sometimes.! Here we have a country that’s supposed to be all about equal rights and the such, and then we have something like this:
A lesbian couple who staged a sit-in at the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office after being denied a marriage license was found guilty today of trespassing.Within minutes of the verdict by an all-woman Denver County Court jury, Judge James Breese sentenced Kate Burns and Sheila Schroeder to 28 hours of community service each and ordered each to pay $41 in court costs.
Breese said he was imposing no jail time because the women conducted themselves in a “rational and calm” manner when they sought the marriage license last fall and during the sit-in after it was refused.
Well, at least there’s some rationality in all this irrational, illiberal garbage.
Poor dykes! I feel sorry for them. They deserved to get married.

Regardless of whether they deserve the right to marry (which, of course, they do), once they were asked to leave during the sit in, and did not, it became a crime. Therefore, the policy of denying marriage licenses is illiberal. The right to protest on the property of another is not. They neither had permission nor right to be there for a protest, and were, rightfully, arrested, charged, tried, and convicted.
And that’s why these women have big brass eggs, while you, DanGOP appear to be a coward.
Why didn’t they just mail $40 to the magistrate and give a donation to their oppressor?
