You're going to have to tell me the exact date you made the conscious decision to be attracted to girls and not boys.
I mean, if homosexuality is not an innate characteristic, then surely you're a living, breathing objective example of this and you can share with all of us precisely how and when you made that rather momentous decision to like girls and not boys.
This is stupid. Marriage is between two people. The government should not be telling anyone what gender those two people have to be. This overbearing ultra controlling government that people want is getting out of hand.
Yet, the gay army somehow takes the SCOTUS decision as meaning that there is a constitutional basis for allowing gay marriage.
That couldn't be any more further from the truth.
You're getting loose with your language. Rather than "for allowing gay marriage" I assume you meant to say "disallowing banning gay marriage." Those are 2 very different things.

Harrier agrees.
Government should not be in the marriage business.
Gay couples do not and have never had a constitutional right to marry.
Now you're conflating issues. We were talking about the effect of laws limiting marriage to man/women couples (specifically whether they deny the rights of marriage to gay couples - something you dumbfoundingly claim they don't). That's a separate issue from whether such laws are constitutional or not. Whether gay couples have a constitutional right to marry or not has no bearing whatsoever on the effect Prop-8 type laws have.

Your term is convoluted, barely pronouncable, and highly contrived.

What utter nonsense.
The current ruling from the openly gay judge, which was allowed to stand by SCOTUS on procedural grounds, was based on a constitutional argument.
Now you are backing away from the very argument made by a judge in a decision that you claim to support.
For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there.
Did you mean to do that? It's funny.

I'm sorry you have trouble pronouncing four basic English words. And my term accurately reflects the issue. Your term doesn't.
The issue here isn't whether states are constitutionally allowed to have gay marriage (which is what you term says). The issue is whether if states allow marriage, can they deny same-sex marriage.
