Gay marriage was never denied because it never was no matter how the left howls.
Of course that changes now because of 5 old men and women.
I just wonder where the gays will go to be victims now that their status has changed.
I am thinking they will be victims of churches to which they can't force themselves upon.
One thing we can be sure of is that they will find a way to stay the victim.
LOL....the ones I see playing the victim card right now are the members of the far right who just cannot accept people of the same gender marrying.
The couples who sued for the right to marry- they just wanted to be able to get married.
Just like my wife and I are married- and now they can.
You want to pretend that makes them 'victims'- sounds like the only claiming the victim card is yourself.
Then why is there so much angst when pointed out that there are others wishing to attain the same rights?
Seems odd that pointing out that the arguments used for one alternative lifestyle seem to work for all, created such displeasure
No angst.
I have seen only one type of person starting threads about 'others wishing to attain the same rights'- and those are started by people who are essentially against not only 'gay marriage' but those 'others' being married also.
Those threads are all strawmen by people who really can't stand homosexuals marrying.
My reply- and most of those who have replied have replied honestly that the Supreme Court's decision on Friday is as unrelated to incestuous marriage as Loving v. Virginia is.
People who actually want polygamous marriage or incestuous marriage have the same avenue of recourse gay couples have- the legislature or the courts- and they are welcome to try others.
As I point out- their cases are different and the State may have a compelling argument against those marriages- but they are welcome to make the argument.
You simply can't make the claims.
The arguments for polygamy and many relationships that were traditionally taboo, are the same as for SSM. I know it's disheartening, but I have yet heard different.
Then you simply are refusing to listen.
We have had this discussion- and I will say it to you again- if you do not have an argument on why polygamous marriages are wrong- then you didn't have an argument before Friday's ruling either.
If you do have an argument- then you have an argument.
But if your only argument is " I think its icky" or "Its Tradition!"- then yes- you have no legal argument- but that has been the case since Loving v. Virginia.
Loving contaned a limit of 1 man to 1 woman. There was reasoning for that that limit no longer makes sense.
Sorry dude
