So, 7 people in the court decided to play God and overruled Prop 8 (which are voted by the people? LOL. This is a question of morality and should be decided by the people, not the court. After all, it is the PEOPLE that have to live and deal w/ gay people, not the court. They should have the last say whether that is the moral thing to do. I doubt the people would vote in favor of gay marriage.

I am very concerned that the tactics being used to promote the Gay agenda will sharply divide our country. Being told that you can’t open a store in Chicago unless you are for Gay Marriage is wrong. The disregard that the media and the Liberals have for Religious doctrine makes me think that we are going to end up more divided than ever.

The disregard of other peoples liberties will destroy the country, not the ‘gay agenda’. No person should not be able to limit another persons freedom due to their dislike of any race, creed, color, nationality, sexual orientation, number of pets, type of undershorts, etc. Hate it all you like, just treat everyone equally.

@galactus999 The problem is a small vocal strong religious minority seem to think the world revolves around their god. I respect their right to believe in whatever god they want too. But they shouldn’t impose their religious beliefs on others.

People who are gay and want to be married has no impact on the religious right ability to worship the way they want in their own church. They should not impose those beliefs on others.

Contrary to what the right thinks, we are not a Christian Nation. We are a country where people can worship who or what they please and even choose not to practice a religion.

People are born gay, its that simple and marriage is a contract between two people, managed by the state, not the church…. so if two men or two women want to marry, it has zero impact on man and women marriages.

So the federal government recognizes gay marriage…big deal…I am not the federal government. Gay marriage is nothing but the legal recognition of perverts playing house…pretending like they are normal. So very sad

Of course only bigots believe that they have some right to define ‘normal’ and ‘moral.’

Marriage has always been the union of one man and one woman you cannot change this fact as God as my witness. This is a sacred and binding union, to preserve the human race and protect the preservation of man kind.

Traditional marriage is between one man and one woman this is a sacred union for centuries that must be protected for preservation of the human race. Gay marriage is not normal and negatively affects the values of traditional marriage and children and siblings may be confused without the mother and father image.
