"How many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them around?"

Mr and Mrs Michelle Bachmann must be apoplectic.

Good for Simon and good for Minnesota.

What do you think the large Muslim population there thinks about this?

 

[Crackerjaxon]

States have traditionally defined marriage. So, what's the big deal? Any time someone condones leaving marriage to the states, dems go apoplectic.

What do you think the large Muslim population there thinks about this?

How is that in any way relevant?

Same-sex couples have always had equal protection rights with regard to accessing marriage law, since before the Federal government, since before the Constitution. That’s the nature of inalienable rights.

That certain states refuse to acknowledge that right is the issue.

And Minnesota is poised to comply with the 14th Amendment, to their credit.

Other states, unfortunately, will be compelled to do so in the courts, such as California.

Muslims and gays are your darling groups. Why do your darlings hate each other?

Bullshit. There is no right to gay marriage. Never was, never will be. You are engaging in fantasy.

I wonder how Minnesota's VIKING ancestors would feel about two brawny gay male vikings sodomizing each other on their "wedding" night?

Funny how democrats manage to fight back tears and invoke God when it's politically advantageous but God help the kid who is caught with a Bible in his locker in school. God loves homosexuals but if he wanted them around they would be able to make babies with each other instead of shoving fists up each other's arses.

You only exhibit your ignorance.

Public school students are allowed to have a bible in their lockers and they’re allowed to pray. They may not, however, have school-issued bibles and pray at the behest of the state, in violation of the he First Amendment.

Don't give a fuck and laugh at anyone that does. We got big problems in this country and who some queer marries registers about a 1 out of 100 on that list.

Another conservative exhibits his ignorance:

On February 7, 2012, the Ninth Circuit, in a 2-1 ruling, upheld Judge Walker’s decision striking down Prop 8. The proponents of Prop 8 filed a motion asking the court to rehear the case en banc; on June 5, 2012, the Ninth Circuit denied that motion. The proponents then sought, and were granted, review by the Supreme Court.

The brief that CAC and Cato have filed in the Supreme Court demonstrates that the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee equality under the law and equality of rights for all persons. In addition, as we show, the Framers of the Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause recognized the right to marry the person of one’s choosing as a protected civil right inherent in liberty and freedom. By denying same-sex couples the right to marry, Prop 8 violates the original meaning and clear text of the Fourteenth Amendment.

that is simply not true. show me one example where they had equal protection.

your argument about inalienable rights falls flat, as no other goverment acknowledged those rights, thus, same sex couples have not been able to marry. further, given marriage has, for the most part, been a construct granted from the state, your argument falls flat.

Citizens being denied their civil liberties is about as ‘big’ an issue as any other.

There is no evidence that the people chose this. Again it was imposed by the legislature. The people will have to do what the French are doing. Take direct action.
