Riiight...the majority is only smart when they're voting for something you agree with.
Will of the people or not, I just don't think marriage needs to be a government issue.
Frankly, I don't care who you want to marry...just don't force me to honor a marriage that I don't believe in.
They didn't. There is nowhere in the Constitution that says everybody has the right to get married anymore than it says everyone has the right to drive a car. o why is that so hard for you to comprehend Jase?
This case will change the face of the sexual orientation debate in this country. Ironically, we can thank you conservatives for bringing gay marriage to law - since without Prop 8, this wouldn't have reached the Federal courts anytime soon.
And just think, if it goes to the supreme court and prop 8 looses again, That will mean gay marriage will be legal in EVERY STATE IN AMERICA. so really the only people conservatives have to blame are themselves. If they keep appealing with no legal grounds that's whats going to happen. I dare them to do it.
That'd be awesome. It'll be nice to be in a country that finally treats all its citizens as equals.And just think, if it goes to the supreme court and prop 8 looses again, That will mean gay marriage will be legal in EVERY STATE IN AMERICA. so really the only people conservatives have to blame are themselves.

I meant insofar as marriage is concerned, but yeah, you're right.There's still a long, long, long, long way to go before that happens.
But as far as baby steps go, this ain't bad.

Now, now, she probably pretends marriage has no legal benefits whatsoever. Like being listed as next of kin which allows you to visit your loved ones in hospital if they're hurt. But you can't be allowing THEM GAYS to have THAT, can you?Yet you insist others honor your marriage
Which makes me wonder how the state of Mississippi can deny a 'basic civil right of man' to 20 year olds... Perhaps because no one has yet sued over it?Thank you. It is indeed exactly as you say.
On the contrary. Why do you suppose gays are fighting so hard for the "right" to marry? It's not for the purposes of saying they're married...they've been doing that for years. It's because they want the benefits that heterosexual couples receive from marriage. The only option I'd have as a business owner would be to get rid of ALL benefits for married people so that I wouldn't have to recognize a marriage that I don't view as being Godly.
You don't have to believe in it. I don't recall a part in God's word where He reached down from His throne and consulted with Jase or any other sinful man as to what would be sin.

My sympathies for you being a gay atheist in the Bible BeltCheese and Crackers! I hope this happens soon! I honestly thought I'd never be able to marry (I'm in Alabama), but there's hope!

That's good at least. I would have figured you'd deal with more discrimination down there.Thanks. But you know, honestly, it's not that bad. Most people just don't care one way or the other. ...the vocal minority are really the ones that are a pain. But I'm sure the same can be said for most places.
The right to bear certain arms is held until 21 in many states (or all, not sure, but irrelevant). Some things have not been challenged.
Are you saying you hire Ungodly People ?
Of course marriage shouldn't be a government issue, but as long as it is a government issue, people should have equal access to it no matter what your personal religious beliefs say, because some people don't follow your religion.
