SCOTUS: Same Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide

[wopphil]

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.

But what if the Supreme Court issued a decision you didn't agree with? What if, for example, they said that the unborn have the right to life and all abortion is unlawful? Would you, at that point, believe that 9 judges are best equipped to make decisions which impact the other 320 million of us? Would you not be calling for states, through their citizens, to have the right to decide their own abortion policy?

I'm just wondering what sort of gnar shit the government has done while we've been distracted by all of this

[Puget Sound Angel]

Just for giggles, go to FOX News Facebook page. WOW! The cons are really sh!tting the bed over this one. You can't buy this type of entertainment.

I'll be honest, despite my weiner-centric posts, I'm no homo and although I support homos and their fanciness and prancing and silly talking and women-like backstabbing and gossiping, the best part of this ruling is watching old Christians lose their shit.

 

Don't sell yourself short. You're a tremendous homo

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

LOL at "sodomy-based marriage." It is hard to believe that people like this actually exist...oh bet then I watch Fox News and remember.

Anthony Kennedy's closing paragraph

 

 

No matter your sexual preference, I just do not view that the majority the nation views marriage in the words that Justice Kennedy used.  Maybe I am being a cynic, but something that ends 50% of the time in separation means that sacrifice and two people becoming greater than they once were was never realized.  Just my thoughts.  I really do like his words and that paragraph a lot, I just wish everyone in any type of marriage, both gay and straight, could use that union to become greater.  It seems we as a country are missing out on that.

Just got an event notification that there will a west Hollywood rally celebrating the Supreme Court ruling. So glad I took the day off I miss fire alarm day at work and crotch on fire day in the downtown.

I don't think I understand the question. I have disagreed with a lot of Supreme Court decisions. Are you asking what I would think if the Supreme Court made a decision based on the premise that a group I disagree with getting?

I'm having a hard time comprehending how a woman getting an abortion or two women wanting to marry each other would impact your life.

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?

 

there are always people who feel like they need to 'fix' others' point of view. i'm sure we haven't heard the end of this, and it's just a matter of time until a gay couple purposely chooses a church that they know won't allow them to use it for a gay wedding.

Maybe because the woman is violating the child's rights?

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 $$$$$$$

 

churches are going to be more about not getting sued. and i think it's fair to say that any church needs to make sure they can pay their bills. to say they all are about $$$$ is patently untrue.

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

 

you know what, geoff?

 

maybe i'm just like my father,

he's never satisfied.

maybe i'm just like my mother (too bold).

boy, you just can't resist taking shots at Christians, can you?

Where did I say that it does? Before you ignorantly put words in my mouth again, why don't you go back and read my posts.

Assholism does not discriminate.

Only stupid (fundamentalist) Christians, like the Bryan Fischers of the world. I know many Christians who would be appalled by what he said.

[juansavage1]

You're against beastiality?

Curious to see what my extended family is saying on Facebook. I'm sure many end times, beastiality and slippery slope posts await.

You are patently stupid if you think fundamentalist Christians are stupid in general.  I know hundreds personally that are smarter and more reasonable than you.

[nate]

But not Bryan Fischer

[mtangelsfan]

I can find morons in any group of people.

[nate]

Yes and Bryan Fischer is one of them.

[mtangelsfan]

Yes and Bryan Fischer is one of them.

 

Ok, but that wasn't my point.  Which I'm sure you knew.  If aj wanted to say that Bryan Fischer was stupid, that is what he would have said.

Is that how you decide laws? For example, assuming you work, how will cutting welfare impact your life? Would somebody marrying their dog and killing their one-year old impact your life?

 

Most people decide laws on the common good and what they think its right.

What did Bryan Fischer say that was stupid?
