you have yet to rebuttal mine. you and Disney both made the claim that it is such widely accepted, but when put to the challenge up if you refuse to accept it.
and go off on some other tangent that has nothing to do with your original argument.
if it is widely accepted then put it to a vote period end of story.
back up your claim with something other than I say so.
if you think it is so widely accept then this shouldn't be an issue.
Everyone has answered you appropriately. Same sex marriage is widely accepted; however, in states like Texas, it isn't. How long should gay/lesbian couples who live in Texas have to wait to get their constitutional rights by ballot?
Constitutional rights are decided by courts, not by ballot. Even if 100% Of the people in the US voted for - or against - SSM, it's meaningless except as a measure of acceptance. The SCOTUS, while considering the current climate around the issue, should be guided by the constitution. They have declared marriage a right in the case of prisoners; the 14th amendment guarantees equal protection; ergo SSM should be legal throughout the US, regardless of what voters in one area think about it.
