I'm not sure if you are aware of this but as of yesterday, at least 70% of all Americans were able to marry the person they love regardless of gender. The fact that your first thought is about divorce says more about you than anything else. Good luck on your 5th marriage.

I don't see freedom to a party, I see freedom to people, as in individuals.

Just claim that this ruling affefts you, and you will avoid the contradiction.

Now we will see all the conservative Christian evangelical presidential candidates start to be interviewed incessantly about how this will "destroy" the U.S. I'm glad this ruling went the way it did.

Yes the U.S was so moral committing genocide on the native population or allowing slavery, segregation. But letting two people of the same sex that love each other get married is us becoming immoral.

Here it comes! When have we heard an argument about "state's rights" before? Oh yeah, during the Civil Rights Act controversy.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, seizing the moment after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, called Friday for a Constitutional amendment that would allow the states to decide whether gay marriage should be legal.
