And yet black people are slaughtered daily with no retribution. They won't give reparations nor even study the effects of enslavement. Look up HR40.

E no suppose concern us, they've done worse.... Gender transplants, Transgender, animal sex allowed in some states and all what not despicable things in our views but in the end, it's none of my bizness or any of ours at dat. They seem to have lost all morality but in the end na God go judge.

When wisdom begets foolishness.
These people have proven to be less than humans. Even wild animals don't mate with same sex but alias human beings can understand that.

Of course this is going to spread through out world like wildfire, with the help of the media.

What two consenting adult decide to do with each other legally is not my business. We should learn to respect and tolerate the desire of others in as much as it is within the law.
Laws are drawn from the morals and ethics of the society, not the opposite which is what they have just done.
90% percent of teenagers who attend same sex colleges would be gay if such laws were in place in Africa today.

America and their western Counterparts have succeeded in re-defining marriage. "God bless the US of A".......what irony
_
What exactly did they "redefine"? Marriage, as it was originally, was a socio-political contract between two families. Marrying for love was quite unpopular before the 16th century.
Re: Breaking News!!! America Finally Legalizes Same-sex Marriage *see Obama Tweet by Nobody: 6:01pm On Jun 26, 2015
"The Fourteenth Amendment 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."

I always knew it would be difficult to justify the prohibition on same-sex marriage where the 14th Amendment exists. It states, inter alia, in section 1 that "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."
However, religious institutions are still free to ban homosexual marriages in their buildings.

I am happy.

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.

If we want race, salary and gender equality, this is the sacrifice we are willing to me.

This is a historic moment. Happy for the LGBTQ nation!

This gay couple have been together for 55 years. Now, they'll get a marriage license in Texas.

Re: Breaking News!!! America Finally Legalizes Same-sex Marriage *see Obama Tweet by Nobody: 6:04pm On Jun 26, 2015
Honestly when I hear Nigerians say they "don't want gay marriage" as it is against their religion, I laugh and shake my head. You're perfectly ok using your religion as a tool of oppression, but would be the first to cry foul when someone else wants to do it to you (CIP the sharia law/islamisation of Nigeria thingy)
Re: Breaking News!!! America Finally Legalizes Same-sex Marriage *see Obama Tweet by Nobody: 6:10pm On Jun 26, 2015
The same-sex prohibition law in Nigeria may be challenged in a Federal High Court.

Lol. We would battle it out intellectually. Although I'm opposed to it on a personal level, the govt shouldn't deny people their marital rights.

America o beautiful.

''We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.''

America will always be the bedrock in advancing society. From Abolishing slavery, to racial discrimination, gender inequality, now homosexuality.

Our future attorney in waiting... Hmm, you will battle it out intellectually abi? Very good, practice your argument skills because you'll eventually need it when you go before the Supreme Court grin grin grin

How did this number of dumbskulls come to populate this forum? Which between the states and Washington has power over gay law?
Modified:
I thought states were the ones approving or otherwise laws on gay? Anyway, the Supreme Court has given its judgement.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch on SCOTUS same-sex marriage ruling: 'By putting an end to an era of state-sanctioned discrimination, the decision lights the way to a future of acceptance, inclusion and opportunity for gay and lesbian Americans and their families.' - @LorettaLynch

US Military on SCOTUS same-sex marriage ruling: 'Today's Supreme Court decision will now permit same sex weddings in military chapels in all 50 states. Any military chaplain or clergy can refuse to perform a same sex marriage 'if it is not in line with the tenets of their faith.' - @NBCNews

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley on SCOTUS ruling: 'Today, the Supreme Court affirmed that marriage is a human right - not a state right. I'm grateful to the people of Maryland for leading the way on this important issue of human dignity and equality under the law. The American Dream is strongest when all are included.'

Actor Neil Patrick Harris on SCOTUS ruling: 'It's a new day. Thank you Supreme Court. Thank you Justice Kennedy. Your opinion is profound, in more ways than you may know.' - @ActuallyNPH


Man made laws by so called christian faithfuls now overrules God's laws in some western countries while in Nigeria, political party rules now overrules the parliamentary convention and extant provisions of the senate standing order.

Different types of craze depending on ones geographical location.

Justice Scalia's dissent "Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality [whatever that means] were freedoms? And if intimacy is, one would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie." grin grin

The dude's head must have exploded.

School is ok. I'll be a 2l next yr; and I'm also seeking to transfer to another school.
But the school I'm planning to transfer to costs about $11k in tuition per semester, though they award scholarships and federal loans are available.

The law was not constituted today,get informed.
The question the US SC answered today was whether marriage is a fundamental right n if so,whether under the Equal Protection Clause of their Constitution,same as we have btw,it is legal to deny gays such right as others enjoy.
Really,what two consenting adults do with their lives should be nobody's business so far as it is done within the ambit of the law.

I think what he meant to say was that the High Court should have left the decision to the states, instead of issuing a blanket legalization of gay marriage.
