Like gays seeking gay marriage and to be accepted by "normal" society. :mock:
New poll shows support for gay marriage down after SCOTUS ruling
- Thread starter GFR7

Yes, which is why you won't and haven't heard me echo your rhetorical approach in relation to them.
In that moment they betray the emotional nature of their objection. Reason doesn't demand it.
Only if you can prove it to be. This isn't so here.

Yes, it is. It will be wholly so.
No, I don't. I don't care what anyone thinks of me here; Unlike gays, I don't need "recognition" to know I have value. I have confidence in my powers of reason. They've earned me many a distinction and carried me this far.
The recognition doesn't give them value, just equality. You people don't have the ability to push around a minority anymore. That this infuriates so many of you speaks for itself.

I have NO desire to push any minority around. I am a minority myself.

The judicial branch has overturned its previous rulings before.
Well all you guys have left now is the hope that they do. I don't see that happening any time soon, if ever. The world's moved on.
No, it isn't, which is why a majority of the Court disagrees with you and the minority. And we're back at the beginning.
ummm....yea sure, that's one way of expressing their desire for equality.:BRAVO:

just like Loving v. Virginia and Brown v. the Board of Education.
As noted above rights aren't subject to the whim of the people. That is why they are called rights

It is unconstitutional to vote away the rights of a minority

The idea that marriage was necessary for equality was cooked up by a few advocates.

No, I don't. It is only the marriage issue which I speak of.
Yeah, exactly. That proves our point. You're protesting too much at this rate.
It seems pretty obvious that the right believes marriage to be a basic human right. Why else would they be complaining about expanding that right to those who appear "different" yet are part of the same human species? If it is such a big deal it must be a basic human right. even more basic than healthcare, education, etc.
Actually, all marriages are civil unions. In order to have the rights and benefits of marriage a couple must have the marriage license which is issued by the state.
The religious ceremony is of significance to those who so choose to be blessed.
The particular religious denomination is still free to set its' own criteria for such a blessing.

I know I don't hate gay people, and they know it, too. I've worked and lived with them for years. Tracer is mean as the dickens to me, and I still like him.

This was a very slim majority, with the dissenters writing things such as "By all means, celebrate; but it has nothing to do with the Constitution" and "If I were part of a ruling like this, I'd hide my head in a bag." It gave a very strange, unsettling message.
You keep mentioning this as though it means something.
