What will be the last state to have same sex marriage? [W: 33]

What will be the last state to have same sex marriage?


  • Total voters
    40
well this is actually what i think will happen, i think a hand full of states never will like with slavery, interracial marriage and womans rights and then SCOTUS will make a ruling and they will have to grant equal rights.
Frankly I stopped seeing the point of resisting awhile ago. But then I stopped being very religious awhile ago too...so for some I suppose it matters.

IMO religion is a complete dishonest cop-out to "FIGHT" against equal rights for gays or trying to "LEGALLY STOP" equal rights for gays, its totally disingenuous and hypocritical

but as you already know religion is a fine reason to teach, preach, think, feel, say you are against it

not to many million of religious people support "equal rights" along with lists of religious orgs, even the pope supports equal rights for gays

now he would personally "religiously" marry them but he thinks they have the right to get legally married and have the same human and legal rights as the rest of us humans. He simply gets it.
 
I hope it is ours but it will probably be Alabama

Looks you should get right on moving to alabama then. You'd certainly fit right in.
 
It would be mississippi i think, except the SC will have long since ruled on it. If you break down the polls by state, i think a majority in all but a handful states - all in the south - will support it by 2020. By november 2016, i think it will be legal either by court or ballot in a clear majority of states and then the SC will make it national the next summer.
 
Those states voted to uphold traditional marriage. They already have equal rights, it's not a bad thing that others are allowed to vote and not have views and definitions that are wrong for their society thrust upon them by a minority or special interest groups. People voted, the outcome just isn't what some like and thus a persona of "inequality" is pushed when everyone did have an equal vote on an issue of social policy.

As far as the last state goes, I'm not sure. Many of them have traditional marriage legal at their constitutional level, they would have to go through the process of amending their state constitutions to change that.
 
I fit in anywhere, unlike you

Haha, dream on. No one here is an outspoken bigot like you, and if they were, they'd get what's coming.

1.)Those states voted to uphold traditional marriage.
2.)They already have equal rights
3.) it's not a bad thing that others are allowed to vote and not have views
4.) and definitions that are wrong for their society thrust upon them by a minority or special interest groups. People voted, the outcome just isn't what some like and thus a persona of "inequality" is pushed when everyone did have an equal vote on an issue of social policy.
5.) As far as the last state goes, I'm not sure. Many of them have traditional marriage legal at their constitutional level, they would have to go through the process of amending their state constitutions to change that.

1.) as history proves and even recent history/current events voting to discriminate against people and deny them equal rights doenst work forever.
2.) this is factually not true as proved by rights, laws, legislation, ordinances, reality, court cases and court precedence and its proven wrong every time you repeat this fallacy.
3.) this is 100% correct until it infringes on others rights then thats where it ends and that is factually wrong and where when pushed it loses to equality like is happening right now
4.) this fallacy is also very entertaining since again all the stuff in #2 proves it wrong. Equal rights i being granted period.

Also while it doesn't matter i just like being honest and factual. Its not the minority and special interest groups pushing for equal rights, its the majority, civil rights groups, human rights groups, equal rights groups, many religions groups etc. You know all the groups that look out for laws and equality and freedom and civil/ legal/ human rights.
Its awesome the majority is coming around along with all those groups to protect those legal, human and civil right that are being denied to people.

But again since this is about legal, human and civil right being made into equal rights the majority supporting it doesn't really matter.

5.) also not true as things of that nature have already been overturned when pushed because . . . . . they were found to violate equality and or be unconstitutional even to its own constitution because typically they all refer to equality. Its only a matter of challenging it and the reality is, unless SCOTUS steps in first (which is another way to void the discriminatory state laws) the banns are actually going to help because they will be what is challenged to be unequal.

TO me that's the best part and poetic justice, the discriminatory and or bigoted laws/amendments that were made will be exactly what helps in the end. Especially in the states that were even stupid, bigoted or pro-discrimination enough to also ban civil unions and domestic partnership for same sex.

Sorry Digs but the writing is on the wall and equal rights is coming, yes i know your OPINION disagrees that its equal rights but its already been proven that this is. Equal, civil, human and legal rights are being granted and its awesome.

Have you noticed, NP... those numbers favoring YOUR side are shrinking. I can find quotes of yours over the years that have numbers higher than 33. Face it. In the not so distant future, SSM will be a law of the land. And guess what? It won't impact your life one iota.
 
They choose to be? I dunno why, they just are.
Oh, I thought you had an actual coherent reason for that other than "they don't agree with my beliefs so therefore they're stupid".

Well, that isn't my reason for saying it. You should have been more clear in the questions you ask.
 
I think what some have suggested is most likely - several states will hold out until it gets ruled on by SCTOUS, then change.

Actually, I doubt the leaders of the states will care either way - a SCOTUS ruling will just give them an excuse to pass on to their voters so they can get reelected.

heck theres quotes of him saying there wont be more than like 8-10 states that grant equal rights and that those states only did it cause they were blue states and or had corrupt judges

then when it got to 12 he said the same thing

even though some states VOTED to actually pass equal rights

now its 15 with more closely behind :)

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot who I was talking to.
Redress. Why. Do. You. Think. South. Carolina. Is. The. Most. Backwards. Messed. Up. State. In. The. Union?
 
BTW... for those of you who followed the situation in NJ with the court case, I will say that I had a minor role in the case being won. I actually sent some of the information and arguments that I have presented here to a member of Garden State Equality. I believe some were used.
 
I would be surprised if there wasn't a national decision before each state had one. I imagine we'll be back to the supreme court in a couple of years, long before each state sorts itself out.
