5 judges cannot change 5,000 years of history. Join me and fight for marriage … #rick2016

I'm enjoying the salt as much as anyone but it's kinda sad and depressing idiots like this can run for president in the US and get a lot of support.
 
So looking at this map from Wikipedia:



Can someone explain to me why almost none of the east Asian nations recognize same sex marriage when, as far as I know, there is nothing in their religious teachings that speaks out against it?
Really, really, really anecdotal evidence but my ex-boss is from South Korea and "It's not natural." is his excuse.

This is a great fucking day. Way to go, America! :)

I'm actually pretty frustrated by this a bit. I'm Christian and I'm happy for this passing. I'm no ones judge. I get really upset that my family and friends can gather so much hate yet turn the other cheek to other matters that have happened in my family adultery , drugs etc. Stupid crap is frustrating let's pick and choose what is right or not.

It's typical. My family does the same thing. The only supposed "sin" they care about is gay marriage. It's a joke. Glad I saw through it all even as a young child.
 
the as always lovely governor of my home state has weighed in on his opinion:

Taxpayers will pay about $457,000 for the cost of Idaho's fight to block gay marriage.
such a waste, for something that was inevitable. thanks a lot dickbag, that money could've/should've gone to fixing idaho's roads and/or schools, since they all suck ass as it is.
 
This thread is moving way too fast for me to read all the posts or reply to all the ones I want to so I'll just say FUCK YES at the decision and also that I think the gifs in the OP post are hilarious :)

Justice Thomas dissent.

Did he even read what the fuck he wrote down? What in the shit?

The Obamacare decision yesterday was bs but this was a great decision. One outa two ain't bad:)

Some nebulous phrasing in a sentence (even though the intentions of the law still remains clear to all) is worth stripping healthcare from millions?

This cracked me up:

As a fellow Christian, you guys are giving us a very bad look right now.

Seriously. Nothing pisses me off and confuses me more when fellow Christians try to use the Lord's name/book (which again was written by humans) to try to shit on other people. People have even used the bible to argue FOR Slavery (among other things) in the past. Just embarrassing stuff :(

Just because some assholes excuse their homophobia on religion, doesn't mean people can't be homophobic for othe reasons.

Not to mention it's blasphemous to use the name of the lord in such hateful way, it's in the ten commandments even, preaching things like "god hates
fags
" is blasphemy of highest caliber.

It's coming. The public opinion trend is the same as the rest of the world.
 
Final Fantasy VII remake and now this all within weeks. Amazing time to be alive. Going to spend pride weekend getting shit faced with friends.
 
I thrive on the meltdowns

No worries, marriage crusaders. At least now Jesus'll come back to save you from the sudden Gamorrah you find yourself in even sooner!
 
Change must be affected within the framework of the system we work in. Why is this so hard to understand?

Obama would have done more harm than good by championing same sex marriage early in his presidency. It was not a politically palatable stance to take, and it would have completely anchored any early policy - e.g. the ACA. These things take time, and he worked within the framework of our representative democracy with three branches of government.

If it was made a central point in the '08 election, McCain-Palin would have fucking loved to drumbeat this "assault on the family" bullshit narrative that's been around since 1908 (at that time, it was women going to work that was "assaulting the family"). But Obama's camp didn't give throw them a bone. Again, it would have done more harm than good to agree to polarize it.

Omg such bullshit. You have to stand for what's right even when it's not politically expedient. Especially when you are the most powerful and influential person in the world. It is not just politics people's lives are at stake.
 
You can tell how much respect Kennedy has for the cases that've come before on the issue of marriage equality, both state and federal, district and circuit. He quotes them very liberally throughout his opinion.
