You must either know a shitload of people, or very few homosexuals.

I just love how they throw around words like "dignity, honor, respect, tolerance, equality".

The dignified process of two persons without the appropriate chromosones required to procreate marrying one and other?

Sounds real dignified, and honorable.

Maybe I should petition to marry my revolver. I mean I love it, and we can't make babies if I fuck it, so whats the difference?

I knew our country was gone before this decision was made, but it really came to light after doing some reading online the last few days. Never in all my 35 years have I seen a bigger group of sore winners. Just trampling dissenting opinions and using every opportunity to cite the constitution whilst calling anyone who doesn't actively support two dudes banging eachother a bigot.

Regarding your revolver, the difference is that your revolver can't love you back nor is it capable of reason at all. It's just an inanimate object.
You've got those liberal New York "blinders" on so tight that it's restricting the blood flow to your brain.

Years back

Years back Ginsburg was speaking somewhere and mentioned something like the values of European countries should be given consideration when deciding US law.

Caused a little flap at the time but the tree is starting to bear fruit.

Can you point out where Justice Kennedy's majority opinion actually CITED the Constitution? The dissenting opinions sure did and, going further, EVERY SINGLE dissenter cited (in their own ways) that the majority's opinion contravened the American idea of democracy and in effect the 10th Amendment.

That's what it's about.

The issue is social norms and the assumptions about doing away with norms and what that will cause. If you think gay marriage and gay equality is the objective- you are fooling yourself. Go to their websites and read their agenda. This is just the beginning. Their goals are totally transforming society. Doing away with the labels male and female. They're already talking about passing the baton to the Q crowd.

If you assume that a society that "evolves" into one whose individuals are "free" to determine on a minute by minute basis who they are, who they want to have sex with, and what they should be responsible for (in terms of the products of their sexual activity and social relationships at any moment in time)--- is a better society, then you should be cool with all this. If you think that there are inherent strengths in norming behavior, two couple heterosexual parents raising kids, and the majority of people not questioning or being constantly hung up about their sexual identity to the point of psychosis- then you are probably a little worried at current trends and university reeducation efforts...

The scary thing is that in an interview I just saw with a LGBT fellow, he mentioned something along the lines of, "This historic decision moves our community a step forward but there is still work to be done." First thing I thought of was, what the hell else needs to be done??? The supreme court just circumvented the 10th amendment for you all.

You can now marry anywhere & be out loud proud of being gay and sue anyone of who disagrees with you.

Anyone now wanna take bets on what the next "progressive" movement to get shoved down our throats will be?

My moneys probably on either pedophilia or trans-species/beastiality.
