I'm pretty sure that the supreme court didn't just ban opposite sex marriage. There is no mandate that you do anything. You are breaking no laws by not marrying someone of the same sex.
Agree that opposite-sex marriage was Not banned, and that there is No need to do anything.
However, did the SC throw the Bible behind them in connection to Romans 1 vs 26-27 and 1st Cor. 6:9 ?
I am so intolerant that I will stand against any theocracy that tries to deny ANY human the basic rights enjoyed by EVERY HUMAN.
I am so intolerant, that I will call out any person trying to strip another human of their dignity simply because that person is different in appearance, race, religion, creed, SEXUAL ORIENTATION.
I am so intolerant that I will abstain from supporting any person or business that refuses service and rejects others based on differences.
I am so intolerant that I really do not care if you have the stars & bars on your car, tattooed on your inner thigh, painted on your car or hanging next to that swastika in your man cave..but bring the flag out demanding those who are different be exterminated, rounded up in camps, or otherwise segregated from society, my intolerance will be the only thing anyone remembers.
The hypocrisy is palpable... lol!
"I'm completely tolerant... as long as you believe what I believe."

The supreme court rules based on the constitution of the US, they don't rule based on your bible.

Keep going, though, this is great stuff.
Strange though it may be to ask, WHY won't you stand up for basic human rights for every one?
Your god tells you not to?
WHY won't you stand against those who would strip dignity from other human beings for color, religion, race, creed, sex, or sexual orientation?
Your god tells you not to?
WHY would you cater to businesses that refuse service to others because of the above?
Your god tells you to keep on shopping?
WHY would you want to wave the Confederate flag in front of people clearly affronted by it (and I'm a born Alabamian)?
Your god tells you to honor southern "chivalry?"
Whatever your god is, he is in no way related to Jesus Christ.
But, no, you are not hypocritical. You believe those things and practice them in the name of your god?
NO NO NO NO NO..define BIGOT as someone who ACTS to PREVENT others from accessing RIGHTS because that person does not AGREE with the behavior..ACTING to prevent someone from accessing their rights is BIGOTRY.
Also saying that a person who participates in a behavior someone does not like is somehow less a person, not worthy of rights and the LOVE of God is also being a BIGOT...
Kinda like the gay couple who prevented a Christian business owner from accessing their right of freedom of religion huh?
Bottom line, throwing around labels like "bigot" a thousand times is counter productive. It certainly doesn't make the target take a step back, and think hmmm maybe I'm wrong because they think I am a bigot! It is only a reflection of deep rooted anger from the attackers.

Which couple and which business owner?
The business owner that broke the law of operating a business in their state?
Sorry, but your religion is not a valid reason to violate generally applicable laws like anti-discrimination laws.

They appear to want special religious rights for business owners, religious rights that public and private sector employees would not get nor would Non religious business owners have.
