My religion views Republicans and Conservatives as immoral. As the government sanctions the Republican Party, my religion is being violated. SCOTUS needs to find the Republican Party in contempt of the universe and shut it down.

And we gay people who do not feel you have the right to deny us marriage have been supporting your butts with the taxes we pay. Your rights end where mine begins.

Why?

I'm not a huge fans of gays, but the government has no constitutional authorization to dictate who consenting adults may or may not marry.
