I think the gays and lesbians have started dancing in the streets a little prematurely on this one. It may have been the courts decision, but the battles by the various States have not begun yet. We haven't heard the last of this one quite yet.
Yes, you are closed minded. You asked a question, I gave you the sources for the answer, and you dismissed it because you had already made up your mind. That is the definition of closed minded. You can't handle anything that challenges your preconceived view of the universe. And in no way can you say that you understand Obergefell v Hodges unless you read all opinions given in that case. You have disqualified yourself from comment on this topic. Bye.
I read the entire decision, Kennedy's majority opinion, and the dissents of Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts. Did you?
Yep, I read the dissent of religious activists posing as Supreme Court justices, who pandered to religious zealots as opposed to being rational and accepting what US Constitution is about: personal freedoms. Especially Scalia came across as ignorant idiot who should be working at Fox News. And Roberts sounded bitter.

Don
Perhaps you haven't been following along. The battles by the various states have begun, been fought, and this is the end result. You lost. You may as well get used to losing, since social regressives always lose in the end.
Or did you think SCOTUS took up this case out of nowhere?
Loving v. Virginia lists marriage as a specific right, for Chrissake.
No they don't.

Again you wrong. Again it isn't about a right. It's about equal protection. Take the thought process to the next level for once. Again marriage isn't a right.
The court ruled that Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute violated both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Justice Warren - Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.
MOST with vehement anti same-sex marriage is due to a person's OWN sexual insecurities, there is no other answer that fits.
Yep. It is either their personal insecurities (many truly believe being gay is a choice, a cross road they themselves experienced) or that their own ways are to be a benchmark for everybody else to be free.

Your hyperbole aside, at least you are more open minded and better informed than Weichert.

Nope, I'm not close minded.
The SC has made the decision, not me. I'm being realistic.
