Supreme Court rules gay couples nationwide have a right to marry


In a landmark victory for gay rights, a divided Supreme Court ruled that state prohibitions on same-sex marriage violate the Constitution.

Well, that should be about it for traditional marriage.

Great news. Now the debate can be over like it is up here in Canada.

The debate should never be over, regardless of legal status.

Good news for humanity.

Glad to see America enter the 21st century, this is long overdue.

So the SCOTUS has declared the acceptance of homosexual 'marriage' the law of the land in the U.S. by a narrow 5 -4 ruling, with the support of swing vote Anthony Kennedy.

It's no big surprise. I think most opponents considered it inevitable given the trajectory of events over the last decade in the West.

That doesn't change its implications. It weaves into the Constitution a disassembling thread as a matter of law, which will, with other initiatives (abortion, euthenasia), undo the moral integrity of the founding document of American governance.

It will foment a major attack on religious liberty. Evil will not rest on 'well enough', it will not negotiate until it rules. This unleashes a raging beast and the repercussions will appear suddenly in the most unexpected of ways.

Far from establishing an order of peace, love and prosperity it will seed the weeds of violence, depravity and poverty.

There is a strand of insanity and rebellion that has become the propelling agent of Western Civilization. It is the wind that is being sewed and we will reap the whirlwind.

(btw more explicit thread titles related to the subject would be much easier to follow, bones.)

Even the part about blacks being 3/5 human?

All started when the fascist Supreme Court imposed interracial marriage on decent, God-fearing folk.

Polygamy is next.

the twitter sphere is all a...twitter about this. Lots of posts from...people saying that now they're going to move to Canada...because of this. I don't know how they're going to be able to navigate the border between here and mexico though.

Polygamy is next.

If there are no rules except that of the prime directive of gratification... you cannot exclude polygamy.. in fact you cannot exclude 'clumps' of any composition or number of genders (or transgenders).

Can brothers marry brothers, mothers marry daughters, fathers marry sons... of course. In a world without rules or a moral superstructure or purpose.. or an implicit imperative to procreate and nurture children.. where the notion of family is reduced to an absurdity.. anything goes.

It's a brave new world.. with a Big Communal Bed.. hop in.. and get it on.

Polygamy is its own punishment.

How is gay marriage an impact on moral structure? Can we get a list of people who have no rights because of some strangely chosen morality?

Polygamy is next.

Why not a wife for every day of the week... if you can afford it.

...or as this late Saudi King, one for every day of the month. 30 wives.

variety is the spice of life

Marriage is gratification?

Damn, I remember when religious nuts said fornication was gratification and marriage was commitment.

Watching 'em twist on the hook is pretty funny.

Blacks marry whites.

Here's one for you. You claim to respect the Founding Fathers of America, so. . .

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and instituions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
--Thomas Jefferson (Panel 4 of the memorial at Monticello)

Thomas Jefferson was the least impressive of the American Founding Fathers.. i was more impressed with Alexander Hamilton.. someone from an impoverished background who owned no slaves, and especially no sex slave like Jefferson.

He established the American system of protection, stable currency and available credit, which built American prosperity until it was systematically dismantled over the last 40 years.... son. Jefferson was just an original Tea Party Republican.

So, let me ask. . .

Do you disapprove of the holding in the 1967 case Loving v. Virginia, which struck down anti-miscegenation laws, and whose opponents advanced exactly the same arguments you are advancing here?
