    Now will the gay rights activists quit whining about inequality?

    This is an issue that really shouldn't be as controversial as some make it out to be. Gay people are people, people sometimes choose to get married.

    Anyway, good for the SCOTUS correcting something that should have been fixed long ago.

    How ****ing difficult is it for you to see that "touching your church" is in violation of the First Amendment in the same way that gay marriage bans were in violation of the 14th?

    There is a separation of church and state in this country. Full stop. The state now recognizes gay marriage. The church is free to not.

    Should atheists not be allowed to marry, Commodore? A church shouldn't recognize their marriage in the same way they won't recognize gay marriage. Yet, where have the lawsuits from the angry hordes of nonbelievers been all these years?

    The victim complex among people who have been the ones discriminating for so long is so gross when their bigotry is no longer permissible by law.

    What's the deal with conservative posters around here lately basically doing nothing but copy pasting pithy twitter quotes?

    Breaking News: People of all parties get ultra salty when they don't get their way and accuse the court of extremism.

    When have words ever meant anything?
    Judges have always picked and chosen how to enforce policy
    Personal judge Biases is why CERTAIN PEOPLE GET 25 YRS IN JAIL and OTHERS GET DEFERRED ADJUDICATION

    People should be allowed by law to marry whomever they want.

    Churches should be allowed to do the same, and the government shouldn't be able to intervene with those churches to force them to do anything.

    To me, this decision is a win regardless of political affiliation. I know several gay, Catholic, Republicans who will be fine going to the JOP to get married because they understand that their church won't do it....and they respect that.

    Because twitter quotes don't need to be true. Always a great source to support the right wing causes...

    The best recourse states have is to consider dissolving the public institution of marriage entirely as a way to combat this imposed definition.

    That’s the healthy libertarian solution, each individual defining marriage for themselves.

    Allowing gay people to have the same rights to marry as everyone else is the "healthy libertarian solution".....

    Do we really want the government telling us who we can and can't marry? Crazy big government Republicans.
