Actually, most of us are disappointed that it would even be necessary. Necessity brought on by bringing fundamentalist christianity into the commercial arena.

Everyone should now be happy. The lesbian couple got a nice wedding present from stupid bakers, and the stupid bakers got a nice bailout and extra cash to spend from other fundamentalists via their online alms for prejudicial action.

The upshot--guaranteed some fundamentalist will see an opportunity to enrich themselves via facebook or other commercial media for being cited for disobeying state laws.

But gleeful is an inappropriate word. Saddened over the hardness of your hearts is much more appropriate.

No you are twisting words as the government often does--for instance "collateral damage" meaning death of civilians due to indiscriminate bombing.

What marriage is as a CIVIL action--is two people of any sex committing to one another on a long term, permanent basis. Hopefully SSM will be more successful than the 40% divorce rate of heterosexuals--of which we NEVER hear christians condemning except in passing--and Jesus DID specifically speak about that sin.

P.S. You are just as able to marry a man now as any homosexual--so you are not being discriminated against.

No there is only marriage. We also have biracial, bireligion, according to you arranged, there are second or third marrages. But one goes to the wedding license place one asks for a marriage license application. One does not ask for a biracial or same sex marriage application. The only place that SSM is separate but equal is in your mind. The only reason it is not called simply a marriage is it is new, different and has a vocal opposition.

Unfortunately we still use the term female politician or female doctor instead of politician and doctor. Do you think they are also equal but different? You can repeat this segregation over and over but you are wrong, again. You do not have to be gay to marry the same gender or straight to marry the opposite gender. Why one would wish to now that you are free to choose I don't know but it would be legal. So no different or special rights for gays just he end of one form of discrimination.

One does not have to be gay / LGBTQ to marry, even you can marry ANYONE (HUMAN) and that my friend is what EQUALITY is all about.

Gosh, it is really really difficult to be politically correct, so I will just ask--

Just how mindless is your congregation that they actually listen to this pathetic drivel?

Most people have FILTERS that prevent them from running a muck, but some Like Trump are completely devoid of any filter and never realize the the ridiculousness of their ramblings.

Marriage in Vizioism.....two people of the same sex choosing who they'll date... falling in love and getting married: bad.

Arranging someone's marriage: good.

Vizioism has remarkable similarities to Duggarism.

Show us the new marriage license that shows that it is a SSM, Vizio.

What? You're not enjoying the free trip inside Viz's cranium?

Were this Disney they'd be telling you to keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.

It's um....fascinating, in an appalling sort of way.

And they wouldn't let anyone who isn't as tall as the sign on the ride at all.
