Ho-hum. What you see as a strike for God, I see as a "win" for ignorance. The arguments are not religious, but legal, and will eventually be struck down for being unconstitutional.
Keep your religion out of your politics. No ONE religion has the right to subject those who do not ascribe to its dogma. It is the basis for our freedoms and to undermine our freedom from religious persecution is to open a door you will regret.
The aging hippies are dying out and the socially conservative Mexicans are going to outnumber liberal White's pretty soon.
If you people haven't noticed, the same liberals who orgasmically proclaim that Whites will be a minority in this country in the coming years do not realize that liberal White people are the only reason "diversity", "inclusion", and "tolerance" exist in this country.
50 years from now, this country is more likely to be re-segregated than to be accepting of gay marriage.
Good point, most liberals over look the fact that most Mexicans are catholic and very conservative on social issues as are most blacks even though they continue to vote democrat.
Sounds like North Carolina is filled with a lot of uneducated people. Which I'm sure is true.
California must be filled with a bunch of uneducated hicks as well then. Whether you are for or against gay marriage, there has still yet to be a single state that voted in favor of it when put up to vote. When you look at Prop 8 results even progressive Los Angeles county voted for it. Only the far leftest Bay Area voted predominantly No on 8. Its really surprising the vote was this close to be honest, being that most other southern states voted for their bans with 70+%.
Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man,"
The Supreme Court declared it a civil right. Therefore, by law, it is. Again, please get an education. You are impossible to take seriously with such a display of pure ignorance.
If that one phrase you quote from Loving is law of the land for ssm, courts wouldn't be split on the issue.
Loving said marriage is a right, 'fundamental to our very existence and survival.' Those judges were influenced by the old-fashioned notion that marriage and procreation were actually connected.
Whelp. Looks like a majority of the people who voted also agree with having absolutely no recognition of any couple that is not married - even if they're engaged to marry.
Just goes to show why having two brain-dead wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner is always a bad idea.

Supreme Court precedent is the law of the land. Other courts being split on the issue doesn't mean it's not the law of the land.
It's the entire argument of why interracial marriage bans were struck down. Because marriage is a fundamental right. And protected classes like race and sex cannot be criteria to deny a couple marriage rights.
