Just when homosexuality was legalize in all states of US, much concern has been raised. How does the christian faith now strive in America? So here are top 10 quotes from the dissenting justices on same-sex marriage that was the build-up before this law was passed.


1. ”Just who do we think we are?”
The majority’s decision is an act of will, not
legal judgment… The Court invalidates the
marriage laws of more than half the States
and orders the transformation of a social
institution that has formed the basis of
human society for millennia, for the Kalahari
Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the
Carthaginians and the Aztecs. Just who do
we think we are? - Chief Justice John
Roberts
2. The majority’s reasoning applies with
equal force to plural marriage.
It is striking how much of the majority’s
reasoning would apply with equal force to
the claim of a fundamental right to plural
marriage. If “[t]here is dignity in the bond
between two men or two women who seek
to marry and in their autonomy to make such
profound choices,” why would there be any
less dignity in the bond between three
people who, in exercising their autonomy,
seek to make the profound choice to marry?
If a same-sex couple has the constitutional
right to marry because their children would
otherwise “suffer the stigma of knowing
their families are somehow lesser,” why
wouldn’t the same reasoning apply to a
family of three or more persons raising
children? If not having the opportunity to
marry “serves to disrespect and subordinate”
gay and lesbian couples, why wouldn’t the
same “imposition of this disability,” serve to
disrespect and subordinate people who find
fulfillment in polyamorous relationships? -
Chief Justice John Roberts
3. “To blind yourself to history is both
prideful and unwise.”
The Court today not only overlooks our
country’s entire history and tradition but
actively repudiates it, preferring to live only
in the heady days of the here and now. I
agree with the majority that the “nature of
injustice is that we may not always see it in
our own times.” As petitioners put it, “times
can blind.” But to blind yourself to history is
both prideful and unwise. - Chief Justice
John Roberts
4. “People of faith can take no comfort in
the treatment they receive from the majority
today.”
The majority graciously suggests that
religious believers may continue to
“advocate” and “teach” their views of
marriage. The First Amendment guarantees,
however, the freedom to “exercise” religion.
Ominously, that is not a word the majority
uses. Hard questions arise when people of
faith exercise religion in ways that may be
seen to conflict with the new right to same-
sex marriage—when, for example, a religious
college provides married student housing
only to opposite-sex married couples, or a
religious adoption agency declines to place
children with same-sex married couples…
Unfortunately, people of faith can take no
comfort in the treatment they receive from
the majority today. - Chief Justice John
Roberts
5. “The majority feels compelled to sully
those on the other side of the debate.”
Perhaps the most discouraging aspect of
today’s decision is the extent to which the
majority feels compelled to sully those on
the other side of the debate. The majority
offers a cursory assurance that it does not
intend to disparage people who, as a matter
of conscience, cannot accept samesex
marriage. That disclaimer is hard to square
with the very next sentence, in which the
majority explains that “the necessary
consequence” of laws codifying the
traditional definition of marriage is to
“demea[n] or stigmatiz[e]” same-sex
couples… - Chief Justice John Roberts
6. “Everyone who does not share the
majority’s ‘better informed understanding’
as bigoted.”
“It is one thing for the majority to conclude
that the Constitution protects a right to
same-sex marriage; it is something else to
portray everyone who does not share the
majority’s ‘better informed understanding’ as
bigoted.” - Chief Justice John Roberts
7. “What really astounds is the hubris
reflected in today’s judicial putsch.”
But what really astounds is the hubris
reflected in today’s judicial Putsch. The five
Justices who compose today’s majority are
entirely comfortable concluding that every
State violated the Constitution for all of the
135 years between the Fourteenth
Amendment’s ratification and
Massachusetts’ permitting of same-sex
marriages in 2003. They have discovered in
the Fourteenth Amendment a “fundamental
right” overlooked by every person alive at
the time of ratification, and almost everyone
else in the time since… These Justices know
that limiting marriage to one man and one
woman is contrary to reason; they know that
an institution as old as government itself,
and accepted by every nation in history until
15 years ago, cannot possibly be supported
by anything other than ignorance or bigotry.
And they are willing to say that any citizen
who does not agree with that, who adheres
to what was, until 15 years ago, the
unanimous judgment of all generations and
all societies, stands against the Constitution.
- Justice Scalia
8. “Potentially ruinous consequences for
religious liberty.”
Religious liberty is about more than just the
protection for “religious organizations and
persons . . . as they seek to teach the
principles that are so fulfilling and so central
to their lives and faiths.” Religious liberty is
about freedom of action in matters of
religion generally, and the scope of that
liberty is directly correlated to the civil
restraints placed upon religious practice…
Had the majority allowed the definition of
marriage to be left to the political process—
as the Constitution requires—the People
could have considered the religious liberty
implications of deviating from the traditional
definition as part of their deliberative
process. Instead, the majority’s decision
short-circuits that process, with potentially
ruinous consequences for religious liberty. -
Justice Thomas
9. “This decision will be used to vilify
Americans who are unwilling to assent to
the new orthodoxy.”
Today’s decision usurps the constitutional
right of the people to decide whether to
keep or alter the traditional understanding of
marriage. The decision will also have other
important consequences. It will be used to
vilify Americans who are unwilling to assent
to the new orthodoxy. In the course of its
opinion, the majority compares traditional
marriage laws to laws that denied equal
treatment for African-Americans and women.
The implications of this analogy will be
exploited by those who are determined to
stamp out every vestige of dissent. - Justice
Alito
10. “The majority facilitates the
marginalization of many Americans who
have traditional ideas.”
I assume that those who cling to old beliefs
will be able to whisper their thoughts in the
recesses of their homes, but if they repeat
those views in public, they will risk being
labeled as bigots and treated as such by
governments, employers, and schools… By
imposing its own views on the entire
country, the majority facilitates the
marginalization of the many Americans who
have traditional ideas. Recalling the harsh
treatment of gays and lesbians in the past,
some may think that turnabout is fair play.
But if that sentiment prevails, the Nation will
experience bitter and lasting wounds. -
Justice Alito

All I can say is dat there is a way dat seen right in d eye of a man but d end is destruction.

legalising same sex marriage would destroy the boundaries of heterosexual marriage meaning polygamy, polyandry, polygyny, child marriage, aged marriage, beast marriage, group marriage...will all have support sooner than later...and the product of such bizarre unions would like be the bane of the society...by creating and fanning the embers of sexual affiliation and marriage...
