I am absolutely in support of traditional marriage. Always have been and always will be. But, the Supreme Court's ruling on this puts the issue permanently to rest. The folks who fought for this deserve to celebrate it, and the folks who fought against it, need to just move on and accept that it is now the law of the land.
They can in employment over much of the country. Mostly backwards states. But some surprising states as well. That is the next battle.

But yeah, they might as well get on that too, thats the next fight to fight
We can only hope, but I think it will be more of this same "war on marriage" bull**** from the religious right... in some ways I wish it would have happened AFTER the election, because now the Republican candidates can hide their hate and prejudice behind this court decision, because it's now completely out of their scope of control
In my younger days I wondered what the big deal was about gay marriage and gay rights, but as I have gotten older and had to deal with general nastiness and sociopathic behavior from Christians and Catholics, I am glad this decision has gone this way. As a straight man I don't care that much about the issue itself but I am glad to see the religious people receive a blow to their influence over society. I am tired of being treated like crap by people who claim to be righteous but whose behavior is anything but righteous.
All I can say: about damn time! ACA and gay marriage in the same week? Obama gotta be feeling like a boss.
Obama? No.
Supreme Court, yes.
Maybe it'll take the eyes off his failed health care plan a bit longer.
Sorry Dissenter, you said the "O" word!
