There is no right to ‘gay marriage’ anywhere in the Constitution, just like abortion. Somehow one or two justices managed to find it somewhere but can’t point where to justify their own personal opinions. They should be legislators not judges.

It’s a tough place to be, but I’d rather deal with the Stormcloaks facing off against the Imperials and the Thalmor bitches than whatever is happening here.

Oh yeah taking the ‘L’ by pointing out facts you don’t agree with. Maybe respond with something that wouldn’t be written by a 10 year old

You fear of people living outside of what you are personally comfortable with does not conflate with how everyone should live their 1 life. If you don’t believe that people should marry another consenting adult or have the right to self determination, then that is what you should practice in your personal life, not what the nation should abide by. Learn the difference.

The Constitution is the law, personal opinions have nothing to do with it. If a state wants to legalise it then that’s up to the states, the Constitution doesn’t even specify marriage as a right. It mentions other rights like freedom of speech and the right to keep and bear arms but nothing on marriage. The point of a marriage is the union between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation. Civil partnerships needed to be amended to include certain rights that a marriage encompasses.

I don't feel the need to be thoughtful or respectful to people arguing that other human beings don't deserve equal rights, so once again, shut up bitch

No, it’s not a decision to be made by individual states— it comes down to the people involved in it. It’s a contract between any wilfully consenting adults who decide to pursue marriage for the social or legal benefits of marriage recognition. Not a requirement for procreation. Also, funny how y’all like to ignore the emphasis the Constitution places on “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” of which the contract of marriage would be included in.

That might be one of the biggest cop-outs I've ever read. You are incapable of constructing a thoughtful and coherent response, so you respond with insults like a child, very classy of you! As the philosopher Socrates once said, 'When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.'

No, if you actually new federal law the 10th Amendment of the Constitution states, 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.' Therefore states should be making that decision, it is not the role of judges to be acting as legislators, the job of a judge is to read the law as it is plainly written and not be swayed by their own personal bias.

Yes, marriage is explicitly the institution intended for the purpose of procreation and has been for literally over 4000 years. Also the quote 'Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness' is from the Declaration of Independence and is not a law therefore not legally binding. Furthermore, that phrase is wildly vague and open to interpretation. Maybe considering reading the Amendments of the Constitution before misquoting it.

Sure, it’s mention in the DoI specifically and not the Constitution, but they’re part of the basis of inalienable rights that the Constitution dictates governments are meant to protect. And no, marriage is not for the role of procreation. It’s a legal and social contract. Procreation happens all of the time outside of that contract. And marriage is a decision made between consenting parties. Not states, not governments. It’s between the consenting parties only.

The legal aspect of the contract of marriage must be upheld evenly for the involved parties regardless of sexuality or gender, otherwise any exclusion to that is what is marked with bias. Not the other way around.
