Supreme Court Ruling
I am very disappointed in today's ruling by the "Supreme Court" to uphold the ban on gay marriage. This is the same court that made it legal in the first place. I am very happy that they were wise enough to keep the marriages preformed during that time valid. However I can't help but shake my head in dismay of the pure ignorance of this decision not on behalf of the courts because they were only doing what the people voted on... Don't get me started on that it shouldn't have been brought to a vote if they already passed it but I digress. I just don't understand I guess how people can decide whats right for other people. How does two men or two women getting married have any impact on my marriage? It doesn't I will still love my husband and live in matrimony either way. We are supposed to live in a society where we separate church and state and this decision clearly displays that we don't. I would like to know if you care to share if you are anti-gay marriage is it because of religious beliefs or for some other reason. I am speaking delicately here because unlike some counterparts I don't want to be hypocritical or judgemental I believe everyone has a right to their opinion. But I don't think that that opinion should speak for everyone especially when the reasons behind those opinions are based on something our country was founded trying to protect us from. Ryan and I have such differing views on this that I am getting very flustered all I have to say is NOH8. I want equal rights for everyone!!!!!!!

At this point what they were ruling on was not should gay marriage be legal. They were ruling on the idea that the voters have a right to set the laws. The fact is that yes, the people have a right to decide the law. It wouold have been unwise of them to make a decision against the will of the people. You can rest assured that you will get another chance to vote on this
ReplyDeleteI agree with that believe it or not.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. I just wanted to point out that that was what they were really deciding on. It would have been even uglier if they had overturned it. The next step for the pro gay marriage groups is the federal level which is risky as the federal courts are more conservative than the state courts.
