Lol, what's it to you? The judge has not restricted anyone's rights, including yours, and has actually EXPANDED rights.

EXPANDED rights = more freedom.


Can you be so anti-liberty that you have a problem with the fact that the government is now starting to RECOGNIZE and accept a right that already existed? That they had previously suppressed by law?

Well...how many businesses do you know that have turned away a heterosexual?

Well who is an individual who doesnt divulge in it to decide on something that doesnt concern them? Obviously if you want to take multiple spouses you cant be offered the same kind of financial and tax benefits beyond one, but if you wish to call more than one your own and have certain guarenteed rights with them, why not? Its not something personally for me so i would feel obligated to abstain from voting on it.

Marriage, in some form or another, has be practiced by humans for eons. The right of Marriage pre-dates the US Constitution. What the Constitution does is affirm that ALL Americans are able to enjoy that right.

Why should they? It is not immoral to be heterosexual.

Okay, thank you for clarifying your position. I agree with you.

Where exactly does the Constitution address marriage? Certainly not in the 14th Amendment to guarantee citizenship to former slaves. Marriage is not in the Constitution, therefore each state can decide on it's own by authority of the 10th Amendment.
