SCOTUS: Same Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide

[Angelsjunky]

Damn those hippies for wanting peace, love, and understanding.

[Schildog]

another travesty to state's rights

MT's church:

 

 

Looks like the church from season one of "True Detective".

mtangelsfan, I hear you about the dilemma of specific churches and whether or not they should be forced to rent out their space for gay weddings. As some have said, I don't understand why a gay couple would want to go to a church with a negative view on homosexuality. But what will inevitably occur is some gay couple will see an opportunity to make a buck and try to sue a church that they know won't marry them.

 

I don't understand why a gay couple would need a wedding at a specific church that has negative views on homosexuality. Why not get married at a Unitarian church or a place other than a church?

I couldn't disagree more with this decision. I think states should get to decide this issue, not 9 completely out of touch (mostly) senior citizens.

On a personal level, I have no objection whatsoever to gay marriage. The last time I had the chance to vote on the issue, I voted in favor of it. I just don't think the courts should be deciding this issue.

Phil, I'm going to respectfully disagree. IMO, the point of the 14th Amendment is that one group of people doesn't have the right to vote on the equality of another group of people.

Granted, I'm not a lawyer or judge.

Justice Scalia is, with no due respect at all, an asshole.  I don't use that term lightly but he's earned it.

 

Scalia appears to be auditioning for his own talk radio show the last year or two

I guess those folks will be joining Eddie Vedder, Stephen Baldwin, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, etc. etc. etc.  All of whom they said they'd move if their guy/gal didn't win.  

 

 

Man ... is American politics Canada's number 1 source of recruiting?

Does Canada's population ever go up after elections or rulings like this? I think these folks are better off going to Pakistan. They don't have to worry too much about gays there.

Just got back from Vancouver. One of my cab drivers was threatening to move to the US if Harper won reelection.

Was your cabbie's name Stephen Baldwin?

This is a great day for people who think all divisive belief systems should lose their tax exempt status.

 

I'm willing to bet most churches will open their doors to same sex marriages. Churches are all about that $$$$$$$

 

What a blanket moronic statement.

I knew AW would not disappoint today...

LOL @ "divisive belief systems"

I'm just happy Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can finally get married.

[nate]

Didn't she have her boobs cut off?  Brad can do better.  He is going to need a new excuse.

Awesome:

 

"July 26, 2015: The Supreme Court rules that bans against gay marriage are unconstitutional, backdating the decision to 1993 to spare the nation from embarrassment"

[arch stanton]

I don't care what SCOTUS says, I'm not gonna marry a dude. Unless he can get us a subsidy on our insurance. My rates are through the roof.

Love this guy.  I knew he wouldn't disappoint today:

Maybe someday SCOTUS will eliminate economic discrimination

Bernie Sanders will take care of that
