GobbleDog 1,019 Posted June 26, 2015 I wonder the reason for decenting votes. My guess is because there isn't anything pertaining to gay marriage in the Constitution. The politians were too chicken sh*t to just pass a law, so instead the Supreme Court gets to create laws by vaguely interpreting the Constituion. That ain't the way it's supposed to work. Whatever. Now we get to see if all the folks who agrued "but if you allow gays to marry, next thing ya know people will want to have 10 wives and be able to marry frogs" were correct.

Mike Honcho 5,553 Posted June 26, 2015 Mike Huckabee "The Supreme Court has spoken with a very divided voice on something only the Supreme Being can do-redefine marriage. I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch. We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat. … This ruling is not about marriage equality, it's about marriage redefinition. … The only outcome worse than this flawed, failed decision would be for the President and Congress, two co-equal branches of government, to surrender in the face of this out-of-control act of unconstitutional, judicial tyranny. The Supreme Court can no more repeal the laws of nature and nature's God on marriage than it can the law of gravity.” Rick Santorum “Today, 5 unelected judges redefined the foundational unit of society. Now it is the people's turn to speak #Marriage … The Court is 1 of 3 coequal branches of government & they have an imperfect record. Stakes are too high to cede marriage to unelected judges” Bobby Jindal "Marriage between a man and a woman was established by God, and no earthly court can alter that. This decision will pave the way for an all out assault against the religious freedom rights of Christians who disagree with this decision. This ruling must not be used as pretext by Washington to erode our right to religious liberty. The government should not force those who have sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage to participate in these ceremonies. ... I will never stop fighting for religious liberty and I hope our leaders in D.C. join me." Carly Fiorina “This is only the latest example of an activist Court ignoring its constitutional duty to say what the law is and not what the law should be. … The Court ruled today that all Americans should receive equal benefits and rights from the government under the law. I have always supported this view. However, this decision was also about the definition of marriage itself. I do not agree that the Court can or should redefine marriage. I believe that responsibility should have remained with states and voters where this conversation has continued in churches, town halls and living rooms around the country. Moving forward, however, all of our effort should be focused on protecting the religious liberties and freedom of conscience for those Americans that profoundly disagree with today's decision. The Court did not and could not end this debate today.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,062 Posted June 26, 2015 Honestly at this point, anyone who is against gay marriage is just a priick. It has no affect on those that are not involved, why oppose it?

God creates gays and then hates them. Great logic. Lol. Now we're going to hear all tje bible thumpers claim that God wouldn't want gays to have the same rights as everyone else. Yup, that's right. God creates gays and then hates them. Great logic. Jesus said "Give to Caeser what is Caeser's and to God what is God's." In other words, Jesus didn't really promote the mingling of His kingdom and government. He told his disciples to respect the laws of the land whether they agree with them or not. It is only when the government begins to try to define what takes place within churches that Jesus would promote significant opposition. We're not there at this point.

You know I already proved that religeon is fake right? You were there for that im sure, its done, I debunked it, you can safely stop believing now. Name some non religeous reasons that someone could be against it for. They dont have to be your own, just make up some hypothetical reasons one would be against it. Im genuinely curious.

Why care so much what someone else is doing when it has absolutely zero affect on you? I'm not against gay marriage - it's obviously the fair thing to do from a legal standpoint. But admitidly I was hoping it wouldn't become legal. I don't care about gays and thought it was amusing Americans denied them that right. Partically minority groups who seemed to oppose gay marriage even more than whites. Talk about irony. Yeah, I'm a pr*ck, I admit it. But an honest pr*ck.

Look, Newbie, you don't believe any two people should be able to get married any more than I do. You just draw your line in a different place. If a 30 year-old man wants to marry a 13-year old girl, that also has no effect on you. NONE. But, you might object to it. Another person might see that to be fine, but would object to a man being married to three people at once. Nobody truly believes that marriage should be open to any and all situations. We just draw lines in different places. Why can't we just respect that about each other instead of slinging hatefulness towards anyone who sees it differently.

Fumbleweed 555 Posted June 26, 2015 Really? Because they're black or Asian or handicapped or Gay? Gay is not a race of people. It is a group of people defined by sexual attraction to those of the same sex and subsequent behaviors based on that attraction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
