SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN SAME SEX MARRIAGE BANS

[Strikta]

Keep it movin @Zelphish

The big thing is receiving benefits when a partner dies and the legal status of children (only one could legally be the parent and if they die, the kids can go to foster care even with a surviving parent) - those were the cases that went all the way to the Supreme Court

So it's just the right thing

this is just the first step in the right direction which will end with religious affiliations having no tax breaks or political influence

religion is a made up thing, and as soon as we, as people, can collectively realize that, we can set aside almost all of the bullshit and actually start progressing.

This...religion is mainly used as a limitation.
you have a set of stories that should teach you morals.
and its your choice to apply them or join the book club

marriage is as much a construct as religion is.

thinking religion is merely divisive is sort of perpetuating that division.

you need to accept a person's right to believe in a skyfather as much their right to contravene nature (lol) and marry into their own sex. it's like misandrous neo-feminists.

i don't really care about OP but lol @ 'love prevails'.

this is false.
accepting one furthers the cause of allowing others to express their love the way they see fit.
accepting religion furthers the cause of allowing others to dictate how people express their love for one another.
One is freeing, and the other is binding.
I'm sorry that you do not see this what is to me a glaring contradiction.

civil ceremonies are expressions of love? accepting religion is binding, accepting gay marriage is freeing -- but marriage is binding, no?

i don't think i'm the one with cognitive dissonance here.

as i said i don't really care about the issue, i'm more or less neutral. views like yours are what bother me: the inverse ignorant; deluded by your own delusion. people voting for Obama on the sole basis he was black. let's wrap religion up in a neat little causal envelope like we've got it locked. we don't. people are the cause of shit -- no let's blame one of our constructs instead and avoid the actual issue.

also, ancient greeks had religion, too - huge pagans. a religious people formed logos: from whence logic is derived but HEY RELIGION ILLOGICAL. they were also gay as fuck.

oh well, love prevails.

Strikta, it's not holy matrimony gays want, it's civil union
go drink some more Tide and say you're gonna vote on something
big people talking

[Strikta]

Big ppl talking?

lol

Just cuz u married a strung out Brittany Murphy look alike & she got gay friends that ur forced to hang out w/ on the reg, don't mean u ever need to come at me like that.

U like 5'7 155 soakin wet talking bout big ppl talkin. Eat a dick.

& don't tell me to vote on shit.. cuz that'd be one more vote for ur opponent in any of ur battles.

[Destroyer]

oh, you slangin .07s, so you hard now?

if you are anything but supportive of gay rights, you're ignorant as fuck

period

[Strikta]

Don't fucking tell me that I'm ignorant because I don't support gays or gay rights in any capacity. I'm well aware of homosexuality in our country & what they are looking to achieve, & good for them.. they achieved it here.

But u call me ignorant because I'm not supportive of gay rights?

lol

I'm entitled to my opinions & beliefs... just like u are.... but for u to call me uneducated & lack knowledge on the situation is childish... yet big ppl talkin huh?

I bet the gay community would love to hear, & be acceptive of, how u call ppl faggots on a regular basis on this website. No matter the context of which ur using that hurtful term.

Ignorant my ass, motherfucker.

Fuck u.

[Destroyer]

yeah, as fuck

Let's meet up & have a talk, Des.

[Destroyer]

we have nothing to talk about
I know better to think I can change the mind of someone who was bred to hate
nor do I think it's a good idea to meet up with random heroin dealers from the Internet

maybe I'm ignorant, I dunno

[Amen.]
