Marriage Now Fabulous, SCOTUS Rules for Same Sex Marriage

[The 502nd SS]

[REMOVED]

[Norstal]

More like, he's finally returned.

OOO BURN

This is excellent. Very very good news.

Funny how being a conservative these days is just waiting and fearing the inevitable

You'd think they'd be happy about how the world is one step closer to the apocalypse seeing as how they're pining for it.

[Kelinfort]

This is the 2nd Roe v Wade of judicial activism. There is nothing remotely in the US constitution which specifies that gay marriage is a protected right. All marriage used to be under the purview of the states.

Just Loving v. Virginia and how it's still controversial today.

Oh wait.

[Mefpan]

Why do I feel glum? Because its the destruction of all my views on families and marriage.

Considering you can still marry the way you want and still have a family the way you want (well you and your spouse) I fail to see how it destroys either.

The universal law of the slippery slope demands that legalization of same-sex marriage invariably must lead to the prohibition of marriage between man and woman. Obviously.

[The 93rd Coalition]

Still, there's legislature to be put into place in the remaining holdout states, Church protests to take place and disperse, firebombings to hopefully not happen but probably will. It's sure for this to incite a lot of hatred against the LGBT population, as glorious a victory it is.

That's what I said, but that doesn't mean they can't celebrate. Deep down, they know there's still more to do. Even one person on this thread posted as such already.

Wow, that is what you said. And that's what I get for not reading properly.

I bow to you.

[Imperial Valaran]

Would it help if I wrote 'ridiculous' in big neon letters?

I have a hard time figuring out what people mean because multiple mental disorders

Ah ok.

Basically, my point is that your statement of of this acting as a precursor to other acts (you said infanticide)being legalised is ridiculous as there is no link whatsoever between them.

[Vassenor]

Just a reminder that while this is a vital step in the right direction, we still have a very long way to go yet.

[Neutraligon]

How about this:
Red states keep gay marriage illegal
Blue states have it legal
people can move to different states to have gay marriage if they want to, instead of forcing onto all of us

Sorry that is unconstitutional.

[Cabana]

Best part about this is that the states can't override the ruling since it was approved at the federal level!

[Galloism]

This is the 2nd Roe v Wade of judicial activism. There is nothing remotely in the US constitution which specifies that gay marriage is a protected right. All marriage used to be under the purview of the states.

A second landmark decision that preserves individual citizens rights against the tyranny of the states?

Go supreme court!

[West Aurelia]

How about this:
Red states keep gay marriage illegal
Blue states have it legal
people can move to different states to have gay marriage if they want to, instead of forcing onto all of us

No one's forcing same-sex marriage onto you.

[Vassenor]

Best part about this is that the states can't override the ruling since it was approved at the federal level!

Or the opposite where you can marry anything. Next you'll be able to marry your sex pillows! Slippery slope!

[Gauthier]

Because those "everyone" think the Supreme Court has given the green light for gays to anally rape straight people like a zombie movie.

You watch different zombie movies than I do.

Piling on bodies, biting, scratching, spreading virus... it'd be a surprise if fundamentalists *don't* see homosexuality like a zombie apocalypse.

[The 502nd SS]

And so ends the very moral fabric of the United States, and the world in general. May God have mercy on us all, for Satan and his ilk will have none.

Oh, how I wish the South had the gumption to secede right now...I'd leave at the tip of a hat.

What a stupid reason to leave the US.

where have you been? Theres quite a few attacks on the south right now

[Ifreann]

Welcome to the club, America. Let's get gay married to celebrate!

---

We will be punished for this terrible thing

Why? No other country that's legalized it seems to have gotten Godsmacked, so why would the Godsmacking start now?

Because Americans are God's chosen people. He doesn't care about us icky foreigners.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

That last one is probably coming in a little bit. Another decade or so. But that's a different matter altogether.

Why so glum, friend? Today is a day of celebration, of a general "good" to be uttered by the heterosexual American population while they go about their business! Wild cheers by everybody else, too.

Why do I feel glum? Because its the destruction of all my views on families and marriage.

I'm a Christian too. I have no problem with people who love each other being able to tie the knot in a civil institution. Of course some churches, temples, etc. will perform same-sex marriages/unions, but they won't be compelled to do so I believe.

Gays and lesbians are every bit capable of loving and compassion and being good people as much as you and I or anyone. Stop being so hung up about who they love. Leave them be. God loves them, Christ commanded us to love each other. Yes, families are important, every relationship is important, stop focusing so much on what people do and focus on yourself and how you can be a better person. As we all should do.

[Panchealand]

This might not bode well for the Democrats in '16.... However beneficial such rulings may be (in the eyes of some) the people haven't been able to decide about whether they approve of this social change (there has been no referendum) and the electorate might not accept being sidelined in this manner. This might lead to a serious backlash and a Republican victory in '16.

I think SSM have had majority support (or at least majority indifference) for awhile now?

[The 93rd Coalition]

How about this:
Red states keep gay marriage illegal
Blue states have it legal
people can move to different states to have gay marriage if they want to, instead of forcing onto all of us

What if a state changes from red to blue? Or blue to red? And thus the legislature regarding marriage changes.

That's politics.

[Free Tristania]

This is the 2nd Roe v Wade of judicial activism. There is nothing remotely in the US constitution which specifies that gay marriage is a protected right. All marriage used to be under the purview of the states.

That was my understanding too. I think the momentous social change brought upon by activists within the Obama Administration has been forced through too fast and without the required popular consultation.

[Terra Sector Union]

Best part about this is that the states can't override the ruling since it was approved at the federal level!

MUH STATES RIGHTS

Imagine people dying in a bloody civil war over a marriage certificate.

[Vassenor]

where have you been? Theres quite a few attacks on the south right now

...How? When?

[The Alma Mater]

How about this:
Red states keep gay marriage illegal
Blue states have it legal
people can move to different states to have gay marriage if they want to, instead of forcing onto all of us

Noone is forcing you to marry somebody of the same sex, silly

[Neutraligon]

What a stupid reason to leave the US.

where have you been? Theres quite a few attacks on the south right now

That has what to do with my comment that this Supreme Court decision is a stupid reason for the South to try and leave the US?

[Marcurix]

How about this:
Red states keep gay marriage illegal
Blue states have it legal
people can move to different states to have gay marriage if they want to, instead of forcing onto all of us

You mean like they tried to with slavery?

Because isn't that a smashing example on how to do things?
