Supreme Court puts gay marriage on hold Star Member progressoid (29,491 posts)
29. I agree...sort of.
I think the "sin" argument is becoming moot in many ways. And that's great. But here in IA there are still a lot of people that say it's a sin and that courts are interpreting the constitution incorrectly. Apparently the constitution only applies to heterosexuals.
On the whole though, the trend toward equality is promising.
Sorry, there's no constitutional right to same sex marriage, hemorrhoid.

13. **** THAT STUPID PERSON
She is a sellout, a fraud, that doesn't give a shit about equality for all Americans.
AND **** OBAMA FOR APPOINTING HER!!!!!!!!!!
She's one of the most liberal appointees in history, but she's not liberal enough for these loons.

17. I will not dial back my pursuit of equality
NO HARM is done by allowing same-sex marriages to continue.
Plenty of harm occurs by delaying and denying equality to ALL AMERICANS
This Dummy is making a name for himself already in 2014.

31. Yup - it is okay - there is an election coming
Can't upset the bigots - there is a 1% chance they may vote for us if we bash teh gays.
Sorry, you can continue to call a horse a cow, but at the end of the day, it's still a horse. Your perversion will never be considered a marriage in the eyes of many.

23. In situations like this it is usually two steps forward and one step back.
This stay is almost certainly temporary. History and demographics are on our side. It's only a matter of time before gay marriage is legal nationwide.
Plenty of cultures engaged in homosexuality (as well as pedophilia) throughout history. History is not on your side. Pop culture is on your side, but after the Duck Dynasty fiasco, the pendulum may have start to swing back in favor of normalcy.
