This certainly is a queer turn of events in the court room.

You bet I have a personal stake in marriage equality. I'm dancing for joy.
It's a positive step. I'm still happy.
The Supreme Court can't ban marriage nationwide. They could rule that a ban is Constitutional and leave it to the States to ban or not ban.
People can vote by referendum, but they can't vote on fundamental Constitutional issues (for example, you couldn't vote to eliminate first amendment protections).
Actually, they could find gay marriage unconstitutional. They wont, of course, but it's not totally out of the realm of possibility.
Is it possible for you to argue without using straw men?
We are a republic with limits on what laws can be passed.
"No I'm right on this and don't you dare try to contradict me because I won't listen."
How childish.
Cry Moar. Voter approved laws have been struck down as unconstitutional all the time. It's nothing new.
Behavior and property rights are not absolute. But it'd sure be nice not to have those "can't build next to a church" laws.
Most of your slippery slope conclusions do not violate the constitution (although I contend that the zoning rules to protect churches do).
They are inferior, but who cares? Let them marry.
Or better yet, Hey government you have no right to regulate marriage in the first place, get out of the business. Meaning I can go ahead and marry my wife's sister also, I've had my eye on her for quite some time anyway.

Are you saying gay people are inferior?

No, I'm saying gay marriages are inferior to straight marriages. Too damn bad if you don't like my opinion on that either.
Oh who didn't see this coming?
"Fuck the will of the people, we fascists jerkoffs want the right to force our perversions on everyone we damn well please. Our rights matter, you straights fucking suck if you disagree and shouldn't be allowed to have rights!"
Way to feed homo-hatred, judge! Great way to assure violence will probably go up in the future if this stands.

America is becoming one of the sickest most perverted countries on Earth!. The people have voted that they did not want Homo marriage. Now we have a judge trying to force sodomy
on an entire state!?.The American Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed.!!
Oh grow up. If you can't play hard ball, find another forum. Try Hannity. They treat libs with kid gloves there because they can't hack being forced to stand equally.There we go, bias due to personal gain. Invalidates your whole stance as an honest broker. I have nothing to gain other than my right as an individual to have my vote count and not be reversed by some dickfur in a black robe.It means alot to me. I waited 25 years to be able to marry. I was married for just a few weeks and it was reversed.
The court grandfathered us all in, so I continue to be married.
It's made a big difference in my life. And it's made alot of people who know me and my partner very happy.
Ad hominem.

This was a court ruling Willow. It's one I'm very happy with.

What makes them inferior?

Actually, that isn't what you said the first time.
But that doesn't matter. Are you comparing all gay marriages to all straight marriages?
The Segregationists lose again!
