Marriage Equality

Ruled in favor. Congrats all.

 

Not surprised in the least.

Going to be interested to see how this fully plays out though.

 

Good news.

 

I need to watch Fox News today just to watch the heads explode.

 

As horrible of a ruling yesterday was, today's is the exact opposite. It's about damn time.

If we truly value liberty, this is the stuff we should celebrate.

 

:hi:

 

Roberts voted in Decent?!? I will never understand his thinking.

 

Why shouldn't everyone have the opportunity to be as miserable as the rest of us married men?

 

He's a devout Catholic. I'd been shocked if he voted to uphold.

 

“If you are among the many Americans—of whatever sexual orientation—who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it,” Roberts wrote.

Laughable coming from him.

I was just thinking about how my emotions surprise me; this one is hitting me harder than I anticipated. I'm elated and extremely grateful. Wonderful, momentous day.

 

It isn't every day you get to become a full citizen of the United States, so emotion should not be surprising.

 

Welcome to the table.

 

glad to see. my facebook feed is already bordering on insufferable though and it's been what 30 minutes?

 

Anything is possible.

 

Petitioners make strong arguments rooted in social policy and considerations of fairness. They contend that same-sex couples should be allowed to affirm their love and commitment through marriage, just like opposite-sexcouples. That position has undeniable appeal; over the past six years, voters and legislators in eleven States and the District of Columbia have revised their laws to allow marriage between two people of the same sex.

But this Court is not a legislature.


He makes the stretch from hell yesterday for the ACA, but doesn't even want to give equal umbrella of the law with the 14 amendment to gays.

 

I'm a Bible-thumping Exangelical, and I've already decided I'm logging off social media for the weekend, not even for the people celebrating, but for the people venting.

 

As Card mentioned earlier, it is likely his faith at work today. Still, today would be a much better legacy than yesterday.

 

Faith shouldn't play into law. This country has marriage laws. Everyone should be allowed to have equal protection under the law in this country.

 

Can't wait to see the first interview that Tony Perkins gives.
