i dont think gay people force other people to be gay. Gay people have existed for thousands of years now and i dont see how tht has affected worldwide human population .gay people have been getting married in the USA , this ruling only officially legalised it,giving gay people who are also human beings their God given rights. And i dont see why this should be ur headache. That ur hateful comment here garnered a thousand likes and shares will not change a thing. You sir,are a victim of institutionalised homophobia. Why not jump off that retarded, unprogressive bandwagon and see that there is more to life than hating and judging people for who they love.

nobody is forcing anybody to indulge in same sex marriage. They are simply allowed the right to choose.
You don't get it do you. It's not just marriage they are after it their right to be promiscuous and it extends to children. The right to engage with minors as long as they consent

Also i will add that here in the UK they want to legalise a union between more than two in marriage. Obviously since marriage has no definition now lgbt are asking why stop at 2 in a marriage why not 3 or 4

Also some want to change definitions so forget father ,mother son or daughters. Let's keep it neutral so lgbt are not offended
Don't be so gullible

I would have agreed with you that no one was born but then I read the story a guy who was blind from birth but still ended up being gay and it got me thinking. How can we justify that the guy wasn't really born that way?

I always knew it would be difficult for the Supreme Court to justify the ban on same-sex marriage in some of the states. The 14th amendment, section 1 states that "...No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States".
The 5-4 ruling means that state courts shouldn't bar 2 people of the same sex from getting married; but churches and mosques still have the right to not conduct gay weddings.

The couple in the pic have been together for 55 years, and are set to get a marriage license in Texas

For how long? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

This is why I have been telling many foools on NL who like to pride themselves with "Live and let live" and "I don't support homosexuality but whatever anyone does in private does not bother me" so lets not criminalise homosexual acts, that once you decriminalise it, YOU HAVE NO GROUNDS TO STOP ANYTHING.

They immediately have an argument:

- To marry.
- To adopt.
- To procreate through IVF.
- To show public affection anywhere.
- To be on your TV.
- To dance like freaks on your streets for Pride Day.
- To request your kids are indoctrinated positively about them.
- To set up pressure groups.
- To put companies and people in calumny for not supporting them.
- To sue anyone that publicly objects to them in commercial or religious setting.
- And more.

And there is no gaddam thing you can do about it.

In 1 year, they would be marrying in churches that are supportive.
In 5 years, the courts would be deciding to force unsupportive churches to conduct their marriage ceremony in a landmark discrimination case. And they will win.
In 10 years, the courts would be in fire deciding to force mosques to conduct their marriage ceremony based on the previous case. And some few homosexuals would just be killed for starting that war. They would win the court case, but not one single homosexual would dare exercise that right after the win and seeing that the people that brought the case are dead.

The US Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal throughout the nation Friday in a much-awaited landmark decision that triggered wild jubilation and tears of joy.
In a 5-4 ruling, the highest court in the United States said the Constitution requires all 50 states to carry out and recognize marriage between people of the same sex.

President Barack Obama, in heartfelt remarks, praised the ruling as “a victory for America.” The court decision marked a fresh coup for the White House, coming a day after the Supreme Court upheld an important and disputed section of the president’s signature health care reform.

“Today we can say in no uncertain terms that we’ve made our union a little more perfect,” Obama said at the White House, which changed its Twitter avatar to the rainbow colors of the growing gay rights movement.

“This decision affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts — when all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free.”
It also made the United States the 21st country or territory in the world that recognizes same-sex marriage as legal.

He took a brief phone call from Obama, who told him: “Not only have you been a great example for people but you’re also going to bring about a lasting change in this country.

“And it’s pretty rare where that happens so I couldn’t be prouder of you and your husband. God bless you.”

Obergefell, who was live on television at the time, replied humbly: “Thank you, sir. That means an incredible amount to me.”
Also in the vast crowd outside court as the life-changing news filtered through were Robert Westover, 51, and Tom Fulton, 57, who hugged and kissed.

“It feels like my birthday, the prom, our wedding day. It’s hard to express the intensity of this moment, that our love now is equal,” Westover told AFP.
The case was brought by 14 same-sex couples, and the widowers of two gay couples, including Obergefell, who had challenged de facto bans on same-sex marriage in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.

All four states had insisted in their respective constitutions that marriage could only be a union between a man and a woman.
“The Fourteenth Amendment (providing equal protection under the law) requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State,” the court ruling said.

Marriage has been a core institution in society since ancient times, “but it has not stood in isolation from developments in law and society,” reasoned Justice Anthony Kennedy, who delivered the ruling.
To exclude them from marriage, Kennedy said, would deny same-sex couples “the constellation of benefits that the states have linked to marriage.”

Voicing dissent was Chief Justice John Roberts, who expressed concern that the court was making a decision better left to elected state legislatures.

“If you are among the many Americans — of whatever sexual orientation — who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision,” he said.

“Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits.

“But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.”
The decision came two years to the day after the Supreme Court, in another major ruling, struck down a controversial federal law that denied US government benefits to wedded gays and lesbians.

“This transformative triumph is a momentous victory for freedom, equality, inclusion, and above all, love,” said Freedom to Marry, one of several groups battling for LGBT marriage rights.

“We’ll remember this day for the rest of our lives,” added the It Gets Better Project, another gay rights organization, in a mass email to supporters.

But the conservative Family Research Council expressed outrage, saying “no court can overturn natural law.”

“Nature and nature’s God, hailed by the signers of our Declaration of Independence as the very source of law, cannot be usurped by the edict of a court, even the United States Supreme Court,” it said.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose state has also prohibited same-sex marriage, said the fight going forward was now one of “religious liberty.”

“No court, no law, no rule, and no words will change the simple truth that marriage is the union of one man and one woman,” he said in a statement.

“Nothing will change the importance of a mother and a father to the raising of a child — and nothing will change our collective resolve that all Americans should be able to exercise their faith in their daily lives without infringement and harassment.”

Legalize everything. Legalize gay marriage and legalize terrorism also since you want everyone to be himself.
