Please don't tell me we are going to have this ludicrous argument again.
Do you ever learn?
Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967) It was a 9-0 vote.
It isn't even a subject for debate. Case closed. You lost this argument 44 years ago.
Do try to keep up with the class.
Seriously.
EDIT; And MOREOVER, why on EARTH would you prefere it NOT be a RIGHT?
Explain yourself, authoritarian marriage-hater.
Please, you know as well as I she is just gonna trot out that tired "gays have every right to marry as long as its the opposite sex" tripe thats been beaten to death already.

Of course.
I notice that argument isn't getting any traction in court, for those few Liberty University lawyers that are dumb enough to blow their credibility making it.
But I would love to hear sanrene's explanation of why she(?) believes marraige should NOT be a right.
I've noticed that most Republican posters have skirted away from the thread's intent. Apparently it is OK to use taxpayer monies to push a Right wing social agenda upon the nation.....while we are trying to close a budget deficit. I just wanted to clear that up.
And how is defending DOMA going to get the jobs they kept promising? Wasn't the last election about jobs? I don't seem to remember the this being a party platform during the last election cycle.

Human society is based on successful reproduction of the species via heterosexual marriage. To defend that is bigoted? Really? I'd say to attack it is such.
You can have successful reproduction of any species without
marriage The definition of marriage under religious doctrine
and ceremony is much different than it should be under
federal/state law to get "a license". One really has nothing to do with the other.
And no, not all who marry even want or choose to reproduce. e.g. childless couple.
Believe what you believe in your house of worship.
And, leave it there

I really don't see how a person getting married to somebody of the same sex interferes with YOUR ability to pro-create.
Can you explain that for me?
Also marriage has absolutely nothing to with pro-creation. The acts in involved in pro-creating are purely biological. Marriage is a social construct.
This case presents a constitutional question never addressed by this Court: whether a statutory scheme adopted by the State of Virginia to prevent marriages between persons solely on the basis of racial classifications violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. [n1] For reasons which seem to us to reflect the central meaning of those constitutional commands, we conclude that these statutes cannot stand consistently with the Fourteenth Amendment.
I'm thinking you need to go back to school.
I'll just wait for another case that declares marriage a right. Maybe I missed it, I don't know.
