Marriage Now Fabulous, SCOTUS Rules for Same Sex Marriage

[The Orson Empire]

You got lucky, then.

I live in the South, which, as most people know is the bastion of conservatism and the Republic Party, so I got bombarded with that nonsense at an early age.

Not moi, fortunately. My mother is pro-SSM.

I don't think my mom has ever stated her position on SSM. However, she does believe that homosexuality is disgusting (and I think she was angry as President Obama for endorsing it), so she probably wouldn't approve of it.

[Russels Orbiting Teapot]

Fuck yeah! Welcome to the 21st century USA!

Finally. Maybe now we can finally move forward as a culture.

[Gauthier]

The Russian officials were losing it because a transgender Austrian participated and won.

Yeah, typical. Raging about how Conchita was shoving his gay lifestyle down the throats of kids.

That song surprised me. But at the same time I still have memories of Chris Hardwick on @midnight describing him as "What would happen if Katy Perry and Russell Brand had a baby".

[Tahar Joblis]

Well, my odds were laid on either a 6-3 in favor or 4-5 against. I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Roberts, very disappointed. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

I actually read his dissenting opinion.

All I can say is God damn.

[Divitaen]

It would never have been against. After US v. Windsor and Proposition 8, a ruling against would never have occurred. It was a clear legal precedence.

Aye, my guess was 5-4 or 6-3.

[The Rich Port]

Guaranteed the next major disaster to hit the news is going to be blamed on this by plenty of nutjobs.

Or, the inverse, a disaster being blamed for causing gay marriage.

Like Sarah Palin scaring off another one of Bristol's wannabe husbands.

[Idzequitch]

As a Christian, I don't mind this. Gay marriage will soon join extramarital sex as something that Christians don't necessarily support, but is normal enough that we don't have a meltdown every time we hear about it. There is no reason for us God-followers to force our beliefs on everyone else. I'm glad we can put this needless struggle behind us.

As a fellow Christian myself, thank you for saying this. I'm tired of seeing Christian bigots that want to go on a crusade against giving people equal rights.

Clearly an intelligent woman. That wasn't sarcasm, either.

Pretty sure most Christians are more than willing to participate in extramarital sex.

I mean, I am not homosexual myself and yet I don't think there's anything wrong with gay marriage.

As a non-Christian I wish more Christians where of this sort of opinion.

[Tsaraine]

Here is the recording of a mass wedding ceremony in Fulton County, Georgia. I found it quite touching.

[Olivaero]

This is excellent news, it really is a shame America couldn't vote in a pro gay marriage government that passed this as law though. The amount of power that 5 judges are given in the US really does frighten me sometimes.

[Neutraligon]

So does anyone know how many more married couples exist in the US now?

Pretty sure that "most" is an exaggeration. Like gay marriage, yhere are a few that openly support it and some who participate, even though they realize they aren't supposed to, but by and large, are against it.

To be fair, she was pretty much raised into having these sort of opinions. Seeing as I also had these opinions, I believe I am qualified to say that it is not easy to break away from something you have believed your entire life.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Thousands of them

Maybe idk.

[MERIZoC]

So does anyone know how many more married couples exist in the US now?

A billion.

[Ameriganastan]

Congratulations, gays. Now you can spend an obscene amount of money on a wedding and get divorced within a year. Just like the rest of the world.

If you missed the implication, I think marriage is for suckers. No matter your orientation.

[Arcturus Novus]

I don't know if I'd be unable to previously, but since I'm moving to Kentucky, it's comforting to learn that I'll be able to marry whomever there.

[Idzequitch]

So does anyone know how many more married couples exist in the US now?

A billion.

Whoa. That's, like, a third of the world's population

[The Orson Empire]

A billion.

Whoa. That's, like, a third of the world's population

No, that's 1/7th of the worlds population.
