I don't give a **** - It makes no ****ing difference to me considering marriage is NOT A LEGAL RIGHT.... If you want it to be then amend the ****ing constitution...

Of course that idea is too ****ing complicated to understand.

Not to mention I have put that "J" progressive communist on ignore so I cant even see what the hell he posts...

There is no such thing as "gay rights" its all a power grab and the less informed and less educated fall for it because they allow themselves to be brainwashed with communist propaganda.

Equal treatment under the law is a legal right, set forth by the 14th Amendment. The Constitution has already been amended to cover this.

not sure what your ranting has to do with my post but its very funny you celebrating discrimination, not shocking but very telling and funny.

and in your life time since you probably have 60+ years ahead of you easy, most of your life equal rights will be granted, if that bothers yo it will be a long life and you are in the wrong country :)

SSM is not a right.

Marriage is not a Civil Right

Gays don't deserve a special right to change the definition from man + woman to man + ? or woman + ?

If you give gays the special right you have to give it to every other deviant fetish sexual group as well

Yes, it is. The SCOTUS has said so many times.

But as long as marriage is a legal contract, equal treatment/protection of the laws is a constitutionally guaranteed equal right. This is exactly where the Loving decision came from.

Marriage and equal treatment/protection of the laws is a right. The SCOTUS has said so for the former, and the latter is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

It is. One is about discrimination in the laws based on relative races, the other is about discrimination in the laws based on relative sexes/genders. Both race and gender/sex are protected against legal discrimination under our Constitution unless the state can show a legitimate state interest is being furthered in such discrimination. There is no legitimate state interest being furthered by denying people the ability to enter into a marriage based solely on their relative sexes/genders, just as there was not a legitimate state interest being furthered based solely on their relative races.

Yes it does. Marriage is marriage. It is a contract. Limiting it to those of opposite sexes is a restriction, not the definition of marriage legally. It is no different than limiting it to those of the same races.

Marriage is one man and one woman. There is no purpose for SSM. None whatsoever. Nor is there any biological purpose.

Yes it is actually. And if you don't want to put restrictions, siblings need to be allowed to marry, people should be allowed to marry their pets...etc...etc...

Marriage is not in The Constitution

What a few activist lawyers in black robes say is irrelevant. SCOTUS has also upheld slavery and Jim Crow Laws. They aren't infallible and above questioning or criticism. I'm all for the states voting what the definition of marriage should be for each individual state, but people like you never accept the results. There is a moral barrier being breached here. It was never the intent by The Founders to have SCOTUS resolve moral and social conflicts which is why these matters should be left to the states.

Catering/coddling deviant and filthy lifestyles is not in The Constitution

You lump it in with equal rights. It must first be a right for it to be an equal right.

That is your personal definition of marriage. It means absolutely zilch legally.

And no, anyone with more than a few IQ points knows that marriage isn't all about procreation. The point of marriage has no purpose in biology. Procreation happens just fine without marriage. And marriage happens all the time without procreation. We live in the 21st Century, not the past.

That is where the catchall comes in. The 9th Amendment very clearly points out that not all rights are specifically listed in the Constitution, but that doesn't mean the people don't still maintain those rights not listed.

1.) 100% WRONG as usual

"i" dont lump it in anywhere, facts put it there because of discrimination, equality and marriage being a right

please try to keep up and not make stuff up it always gets you in to trouble and make your posts completely fail.

2.) can you show me my right to work in the constitution? again focus on equality and discrimination and it will lead you to facts.
