Isn’t this one of the many wrong laws concerning personal rights? Who are the victims in these laws?

SCOTUS’ decision makes gay people one step closer to being equal citizens… marking the 984th time society has come to end since 2008. Or was it 849th time society has ended? It’s hard to keep track. Welcome to Obama’s America!

President Obama

Washington, DC, USA 20500

Dear President Obama:

Thanks to the best president in the history of the United States & the U.S. Supreme Court for supporting gay rights. Thank you … President Barack Obama for your dignity and compassion.

Being black, left-handed or being gay is just as natural. It is a sometimes rare occurrence to fall in Love and to hold that person in your heart and be loved in return … it is something that should be celebrated! If it’s between two guys or two girls — all the better. It takes even more courage to defend that LOVE!

Respectfully,
Grant MacDonald

I’m really impress by the Supreme Courts decision to provide for equal human rights issues, regardless of race, religion, or sexual preference. It appears that the SC is moving into the 21st. Century in style, and leaving all the dated religious fanatics to deal with God on their own. Bravo

Because SCOTUS made this lack of Judgment for the Gays, it may actually have unintended consequences. Gays want Marriage, let them have it to themselves. Straights may not want to be in the same Club with them. Straights should opt not to get legally married. Have their ceremony and party without the paperwork. And also, do NOT have Children. The higher Taxes will be off set by not spending Hundreds of thousands per Child. Use that savings to travel the world and enjoy. Buy a luxury car AND boat to sail off to places like Tahiti or where ever without the hassles of Children. Can you somehow visualize a Hospital Nursery with no babies. Many claim overpopulation anyway. The Supreme Gays can do their own populating. Pity.

It’s odd to call it marriage, not even in most of Europe is it considered ‘marriage’. I agree with ‘civil union’, not with ‘gay marriage’, however.

But shouldn’t Arizona be allowed to regulate its own laws? If the people don’t want it, the people don’t want it.

As for MacDonald’s comment on natural, IF you believe in Darwinian evolution, being gay is not natural. So either believe one or the other. I don’t know your stance on this but it should be noted.
