The Blue Board

It is? serious question btw. I was under the impression that it is not a civil right.

I don't know legally if it's a civil right or not, though I have a feeling it isn't, but should it be? Most certainly. Because if not, who gets to make the rules on what constitutes marriage? The go-to answer for a lot of Americans is the religious majority but the problem is marriage isn't only tied to one religion. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, et al have their own marriage laws rooted in their religions. Hell, even paganism technically has marriage. But does that mean atheists or agnostics can't get married? Not in the slightest. Hell, you can be wed in a courtroom that has zero religious overtones at all. We may have a Christian majority (of which I am a part of) but we are not a Theocracy, therefore a legal wedding is just that. Legal. Nothing more. So, considering how ambiguous the idea of marriage really is, who gets to decide the "rules?"

Ah yes, i had forgotten about that. My mistake. Hrrmmmm....i still think it would be "liberal" to go against what society wants in this case, which is certainly not gay marriage. Maybe not in the jurisdictional sense of liberalism though.

I do.disagree with it morally and religiously(Very important, but not key thing for why i think it should be illegal). Buy my main problem is that i see it unnatural.

That particular case, but the precedent is set that marriage is a civil right. That particular case was ruled unconstitutional because of the fourteenth amendment. If a case comes to the SCOTUS, that will be a part of the argument.

The more likely manner in which same-sex marriage will come to this country is when DOMA is struck down by the SCOTUS and any couple married in a state where it is legal can go to any other state and that state has to recognize them, essentially making it legal nationwide.

I feel like we've had this discussion before, but: So why should your view that it is unnatural stop two gay people from getting married? It's not like you have to get married to another guy. If you're worried about seeing them frolicking in public together with all their gayness, stopping them from getting married isn't going to quell that. At the end of the day, it really is a matter of what goes on in the privacy of someone's home between two consenting adults that, at the end of the day, really doesn't affect your life at all. And no offense, but spare me the "sanctity of marriage" talk because there are plenty of things not even remotely related to this issue that make the institution of marriage look bad. Or, you can take my stance, which is that when I get married, my marriage will be GREAT, and that's all that matters to me. I honestly couldn't care less about someone else's marriage. (That's a stretch—I'd care about my friends' marriages, but you get my drift).

Plus, as Daniel Tosh said: "This is what I say to the most conservative person that's so terrified of gay marriage becoming legal. Just because the state says it's legal, it's not like God's going to let them into Heaven. So you can still sleep sound every night knowing that goal line defense is up at the pearly gates going, 'You're not gettin' in here, faggots!'"

We have had this talk before....so.im just gonna let this alone

Some people will believe what they want to believe.
