The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory for gay rights, ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires that same-*** couples be allowed to marry no matter where they live and that states may no longer reserve the right only for heterosexual couples.

The court’s action marks the culmination of an unprecedented upheaval in public opinion and the nation’s jurisprudence. Advocates called it the most pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics said the courts had sent the country into uncharted territory by changing the traditional definition of marriage.

“Under the Constitution, same-*** couples seek in marriage the same legal treatment as opposite-*** couples, and it would disparage their choices and diminish their personhood to deny them this right,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion. He was joined in the ruling by the court’s liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

All four of the court’s most conservative members — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — dissented and each wrote a separate opinion, saying the court had usurped a power that belongs to the people.

Also next time hold your excitement for your boyfriend.

I'm actually not gay but my teacher is, 3 of my cousins, a friend, a couple classmates and future friends & Family.

So yea, I'm kinda glad they have the opportunity to marry people they love, if they choose too.

So I'll ignore your ignorance and stupidity.

Can I finally marry two people? Oh wait I forgot, society decides what is "right" from what pleases them the most.

And now people who want to marry their animals and plants and raise a family with them are going to all cry for equal rights.

Who determines what's right and wrong again?

Well, while we're on the subject of getting into the mentality of giving marriage rights more available and disregarding society's dislike, why don't we make marriage in incest and polygamy legal? This might come across as mocking, but it's actually a point I'd like to make. If the idea that taboos are merely bigotry, and marriage is merely an expression of a relationship regardless if it doesn't fit into what is seen as the traditional definition, then who's to say these marriages are taboo? I think we're establishing that something should be made acceptable to all regardless of public opinion. In that case, incest is merely family members having a sexual love for each other, and polygamy is acceptable as it is multiple people having a relationship with each other. Since we've established that taboos are invalid, who's to say that they don't get to have their marriages, and who's to not support them and only focus on the previously taboo homosexuality?

Incest can create very f'd up genes progressively getting worse and endangering lives of the future generation of the incest children.

Who is gay marriage harming ? Incest can cause birth defects with the baby . And polygamy should be dealt with in the households, not by the government .

Then they don't have children.........just like gays. Clearly marriage isn't related to child bearing.

Here is my overall opinion: I never really understood why Same-*** Marriage was such an issue. In 2013, most American adults identified as straight (96.6%) while people who identify as gay/lesbian are smaller (1.6%) and people who identify as bisexual is even smaller (0.7%). It's not like LGBTQI were going to take over the world when we only make up 2.3% of the population. Even though this was in 2013, I'm pretty sure the average hasn't increased to an overwhelming amount, so banning Same-*** Marriage was just surrounding fear, imo.

Source: Sexual orientation and health among U.S. adults: national health interview survey, 2013

Bias: People could lie about their orientation, but even if there were misconceptions I don't think it would still increase LGBTQI number above Straight number.

Unless you're extremely heterosexual and have gay men tea bagging you everytime you leave your house, I don't see why you'd give a shit about gay marriage. Let the gays fondle each other ffs.
