Where? Where in the Constitution is the right to vote given to all citizens?

Over 55% of the US population already supports SSM. Why change tactics when we are already winning?

Ah yes the Bible. But don't we have this pesky thing called the first amendment? More trampling on the Constitution by conservatives

I won't have to start it. Texas has a awesome history of starting revolutions...I will just join in and help.Just remember you pushed us to this not vice versa...

When was the last revolution Texas started and how did it work out for them?

So you believe. And you are free to believe as you will, and free to follow your beliefs.

You are not free to force me to believe the same thing, or to force me to follow your beliefs.

That's that pesky equality thing.

Good, then they can get slapped down by the highest court in the land.

Who? Do you mean your God, my God, or someone else's God? Funny thing is my God is cool with same sex marriage. Maybe you should start worshiping my God, he is less cruel than your God.

Maybe.

If there is a God.

If that God is actually the one you believe in.

If what you've been told about the God you believe in accurately reflects the teachings of that God.

Maybe not.

If all three conditions listed above are not met.

I should have said all citizens 18 years or older. This is dealt with by the 14th, 15th, 19th, 23rd, 24th, and 26th Amendments. You can't be denied the right to vote for being gay.

These discussions never end well.

I think we need to stop making excuses and justifications for treating others with disdain.
