That ALL states MUST recognize same-sex MARRIAGES is found NO WHERE in the U.S. Constitution, & such a forced mandate on Religious persons and institutions poses a threat to religious freedom!
"Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said Monday that Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court case that mandated all states recognize same-sex marriages, is "found nowhere in the text" of the Constitution and threatens "the religious liberty of the many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman."
"The statement was written by Thomas and joined by Alito about the case of Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who said she would not give same-sex couples marriage licenses. The two justices said they agreed with the consensus of the court that it should not take Davis' case, but only because it did not "cleanly present" the "important questions about the scope of our decision in Obergefell."
Thomas and Alito dissented from the original Obergefell decision and their statement Monday could indicate that they would vote to overturn it if presented the chance."
"Obergefell enables courts and governments to brand religious adherents who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman as bigots, making their religious liberty concerns that much easier to dismiss," he wrote. "In other words, Obergefell was read to suggest that being a public official with traditional Christian values was legally tantamount to invidious discrimination toward homosexuals."
Just because you have a deep RELIGIOUS conviction regarding marriage being between a man and a woman and does not include same-sex marriages does NOT make one a Bigot or Homophobe and protects that religious belief / conviction.
Thomas added: "This assessment flows directly from Obergefell’s language, which characterized such views as 'disparag[ing]' homosexuals and 'diminish[ing] their personhood' through '[d]ignitary wounds.'"

You might think that you have that right but the laws against discrimination that cove LGBT people in many states say otherwise. It is not only what the government can and cannot do. It is also what the government will allow to be done to people by others.
WHAT!!!????
Hysterical, slippery slope logical fallacy inane equine excrement. It has been about six years since the Obergfell ruling. How many people have tried to marry a sibling, or a child, or their dog citing that ruling?
As long as AIDS medications aren't paid for by the taxpayers and hospitalization costs don't increase due to rectal injuries.
what what??
to a degree youre right,, but to discuss it in detail is a waste of time with some of you,,
Same horseshit different post. Read what I wrote again and try to comprehend if you can. Give the histrionics a rest and stop trying to justify your bigotry. It's a pathetic fail. You're not even trying to address the points that I made
Thank you for acknowledging that I am right. But, what further detail are you referring to? Try me.
So you were dragged into gay marriage and gay sex.? Please tell us more.
to a degree you were right,, your problem is you dont want anything other than your full opinion acknowledged,,
Oh Christ!! Seriously? Freedome to assemble is NOT MARRIAGE.
As I said, try me. Don't just whine about how it is futile to argue because I won't capitulate. Make your case
