The following comes from a September 4 story on Huffington Post.
It’s a breakthrough day for gay inmates in California, as officials say they will permit prisoners to wed their same-sex partners under certain conditions.
The Associated Press cites a Aug. 30 memo issued by Michael Stainer, director of the adult institutions division for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations, which indicated that the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 26 decisions on the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8, California’s voter-approved former ban on same-sex marriage, also apply to prisoners.
“Effective immediately, all institutions must accept and process applications for a same sex marriage between an inmate and a non-incarcerated person in the community, in the same manner as they do marriages between opposite sex couples,” Stainer’s memo reads, according to Bustle.
You can read Stainer’s memo in full here.
There is one notable exemption to the rule, however. As the Sacramento Bee pointed out, the memo specified that inmates will not be permitted “at this time” to wed a same-sex partner who is also incarcerated due to “safety concerns.” In addition, the nuptials themselves can only take place in prison-based settings.

I think I have heard that there is a bill pending in the California legislature to provide fertility services to same-sex couples, based, of course, on the fact that same-sex individuals have difficulty (!) conceiving. Will that apply also to prisoners? Which one gets to be the mommy?
Twisted? Sick? Perverted? Sure is. But then so is the California legislature!
Laurette, I’m not following. What is it about two people being in love and wanting to make a lifetime commitment to each other for better or, as in this case, for worse, that you find twisted, sick, or perverted?
YFC…It’s about the ‘redefinition’ of marriage. Two, or for that matter 3,4 or 5 people can love each other and make a lifetime commitment in private but society should not be forced to redefine marriage base on someones feelings and approve of these disordered unions….What’s next. If two can love each other, what other types of unions will society have to accept in the futute and if not, why not? Why should society deny other unions the same benefits or approval?
Ronnie, those questions are for future conversations. At the moment, we are not discussing plural marriages, even though there is a long history of them in many parts of the world including our own. But to discuss plural marriages in this context is to change the subject.
No, this question is not for some ‘future’ conversation. In Brazil a Judge already approved a civil union for a threesome :

My point is redefining marriage for anyone claiming discrimination based on who they ‘love’ will lead to other such disordered unions to claim discrimination. …And lest we forget, you cannot justify sin….
I replied earlier to Your Fellow Catholic, but regretfully the CalCatholic moderator elected not to post my factual and accurate comments.
This is due to California Catholics VOTING for immoral politicians and judges.
The problem is us.
Soon there will be no need for sodomites to have fertility services. They simply will be granted “equal rights” under the law to others’ children, for sodomizing, of course.
Remember, only 2% of the population is homosexual, and yet homosexuals make up 33% of all child sex abusers. This proves the grossly disproportionate propensity of sodomites to sexually abuse children (16.5 times greater than heterosexuals) and confirms the threat they pose to all children.
Nonsense.
For something more uplifting but off topic take a look at Pope Francis’ vigil for atonement. Seeing the Rosary said by tens of thousands was wonderful.

I agree with Laurette: it’s twisted, sick and perverted. How can any incarcerated person have a normal marriage? Will prisoners be allowed to have conjugal visits? Can those on death row get married? What if later the “couple” decide to divorce? Will the taxpayers have to pay for that, too? This decree proves once more that it is extremely important that all voters to know the political opinions and history of the candidates. They can do this by listening to all candidates’ speeches, reading about each candidate’s issues in the newspaper, listening to a variety of news broadcasts and forums, etc. The winning candidates are the ones who appoint the judges and obtain jobs for their friends. People elected to the legislature and governorship are the ones who gave us (1) the choice of bathrooms in public schools, (2) they gave us the law that prevents parents from psychological counseling to prevent their children from a homosexual lifestyle, (3) they gave us the new law that allows nurses to perform abortions, (4) the law that permits a child to have more than two parents, and other insane laws that create havoc in society and weaken the family.
Folks one would hope that jail time would also cause men or women to repent from their crimes and or seek repentance. But how can they with wasting our tax payers time with these stupid unnecessary things. Its hard enough that men or women get raped and abused in prisons now they are to have to also witness this promotion to more confusion. As if having a mock marriage is going to save their souls or bring them towards rehabilitation. It’s not. Just think, they will have to provide condoms for them as well. This is not a good idea. Lord help us….all this special treatment of those suffering with such disorders, is just plain wrong!
What is it about NATURAL LAW that no one mentions???? Maybe they don’t understand it…..
This is LUNACY running rampant! Any thinking person must know that this is crazy! The ramifications of such a law cannot even be imagined yet, but trust the ACLU to fine tune all aspects of it to drive another dagger into the heart of civilized and moral society. Pace, YFC, you would naturally be in favor of this utter and complete nuttiness!
The two most common factors relating to incarceration found amongst Male Prisoners are:
A. Growing Up Without a Male in the Household, even if not a Father.
B. Homosex Abuse as a Boy
The blanket of Censorship over the entire LARRY BRINKIN Racist Homo-Anal Toddler Boy Rape Ring – apparently run 4 fun out of the ‘In-Human Rights’ commission in Sodom by the Sea (Sparky the Drag Queen – Lead Mauist) – shows how the lamesteam media deals with the subject.

Indeed – Famed ‘sexologist’ (and sado-masochisistic homo-anal pederast) ‘Unkle Kinsey’ used many such abused prisoners as his ‘representative sample’ defining the Normal Male population, for the many statistical frauds contained in his revolutionary scientific ode to Boy Rape.
Consider the following from the ‘Foundational Work’ of modern Homosex Pederast Junk Science from sado masochist Little Boy Rapist and modern Hollywierd Movie Hero – Uncle ‘Dr.’ Kinsey…
– Bravely telling the world that a four year old Boy had 26 ‘orgasms’ during a 24 Hour Long Rape Session.
** Kinsey – Table 34.
“Examples of multiple orgasm in pre-adolescent males. Some instances of higher frequencies” (Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, 1948 – Kinsey).
How were these figures from Actual ‘experiments’ gleaned?

When o when w/the administrator for this site realize that YFC is nothing more than a GAY TROLL (or fellow-traveler) who seeks to obfuscate, try to divide and lie and distort through his many sick and perverted posts here? Surely you or your assistants GET him and yet, quite frequently you’ll call out those of who DO get him and censor us or just NOT PRINT our responses to him, out of what? misplaced compassion? Get a clue. And may I remind all, Masses said for YFC that he’ll “see the light” w/do INFINITELY more good for him than all the repeated nullifications of sometimes very frank responses to his constant bilge spewed forth on this site. Just commenting, don’t have a cow.
How many of these so-called “marraiges” are going to be consensual, or just some butch homosexual forcing himself on a weaker man. I know of at least one lesbian who was a jail guard, so I am sure there are plenty of prisions guards, too, who might be homosexual. It sounds like the same situatution as in some of the Nazis death camps, where you give out or you get snuffed out.

Understand that Homo-Anal Prison Rape (for Males Only) has long been the Official State Policy of the ‘tolerance’ industry in Kalifornia, and is regularly employed by the Gaystapo as a tool for enforcing said ‘tolerance’ BAMN = By Any Means Necessary.
MISANDRY (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) is a lucrative career track (even for Self Loathing Males) – as the example of CA’s former Attorney General – The Male Rape Baiting Misandrist Bill ‘Wild Bull’ Lockyer shows:
(SEE Hi, My Name Isn’t Justice, Honey, and Shame on Lockyer https://www.cato.org/pubs/papers/palmer-06-06-01.html
What you will no doubt see as a ‘work around’ to disallowing ‘married’ Same Sex convicts to set up house in prison & enjoy all the ‘conjugal’ benefits… Is an increase in ‘sex change’ Demands – particularly by Lifers
The scam is to claim these convicts are Transitioning Genders – as such Guys do – when they ‘switch’ from a Male (XY) – in to a Male Drag Queen (XY)…
= Pretending to be a womyn (XX) – which anti-scientific bilge is also the platform of the Demi-krat misandry machine.
However – whatever the Twysted Systers of the Gaystapo may feel about these Men moving in to Women’s Prisons…
Know that they will always be supportive – of Men cutting off their healthy normal genitals – regardless of what depraved coprophile perversions they put them to.
Because after all – in an Age of Abomination, Tolerance Macht Frei
