Every "act" done by homosexuals is also done by heterosexuals. Should they not be allowed to marry either?
Except for the act of having sexual relations with a person of your own gender. THAT is something that, by definition, is a homosexual act and not a heterosexual one.
So what? I mean, I don't agree with you. But what does the fact that you think they are immoral have to do with LAW? God is not in charge of the laws in the US. God is a personal choice.
All law is based on morality, for at the core, all law is based on "right and wrong" which are moral judgments. One can argue about which particular moral judgments get enshrined in the law, but to say that law is divorced from morality is simply not true.
Homosexual acts are immoral. It doesn't matter how many think they're OK. This law has been consistent for centuries. God didn't suddenly change is mind on this core principle in 2012 like Hillary and 0bummer did.
Fortunately the U.S. Supreme Court disagrees with you. We don't live in a theocracy. Get over yourself.
Then get out and voice your opinion where it matters, to your states representatives.
And lets be honest, no one really cares who you marry.
Now if we could get the state and federal government out of the marriage BUSINESS, then most of these marriages wont even happen.

It really isn't. And to the degree that that **** has slipped in, it shouldn't be. Law is about equitable cohabitation. Most of us don't need right codified into law to want to achieve it. The beauty of not having a punishing magical sky daddy is that one can look at right and wrong for themselves. It's awesome.

The government needs to stay completely out of marriage.
I agree with rebolder. Neither of us feels well now.
It is a reintroduction of a failed bill by a nut to score points. It will go nowhere.
