3. There is a little complication to this issue....
And I am a gay man.
Matters related to marriage have been left to the states because the Constitution does not give to the federal government any jurisdiction over such matters. The last time the Court intervened on a matter of marriage was with the 1967 decision in Loving vs. Virginia that prohibited laws that prevented men and women of different races from marrying.
The Court has repeatedly held that marriage is a fundamental right. The only question is whether persons with same-sex orientation are entitled to the same protection under the law that are persons with opposite-sex orientation.
With Maryland potentially being the next state to legalize same-sex marriage, this nation already has more than 10% of the states on-board. The Court will have a very difficult time invalidating rights that were recognized by these states through various legislative or judicial procedures.
I suggest the issue of same-sex marriage, consistent with the same rules that apply to opposite-sex marriages, will not be a matter of legal dispute within the next 5-10 years.
And that killed the thread. :lol:

Yes, the Constitution already permits homosexual marriage. That's why there's been so many in the last 235 years, because of all the twinkies in the 1700's, 1800's, and 1900's lined up to exercise their Constitutional right to be married.
How about some people wanting a Constitutional Amendment banning homosexual marriage to keep a bunch of left wing loons from making claims the Constitution permits things the Founding Fathers never intended. Did that ever enter your non-existant thought process, primitives? See, this shouldn't even be an issue. It's only an issue because you freaks make claims about rights in the Constitution that don't exist. When you quit being so stupid then reasonable people won't have to consider taking these types of measures.

What's this shit about 10% of the states bein' on board with gay marriage? As far as I know, there's only a couple that the people of the state have not tried to overturn the law permitting it! Then it gets to some left wing court, and is declared unconstitutional for the people to ban it!
10% my arse! The only state I know that hasn't tried to reverse the stinkin' legislatures is Massachusetts. But we all know that place is the arm pit of socialism already!

9. In absolutely no way was this country founded on religion
In fact it was founded as an escape from religioun. People were being persecuted by religion in europe so many came here to escape that persecution and ended up founding a country completely free from religion in Government.. Tell me one place God is mentioned in the Constituion...
Holy shit, the stupid is strong with that one.
