Gay Marriage Unconstitutional?

[MalReynolds]

For the first time in forty or so years, we have official second class citizens again!

Good going, society.

Never thought about it that way.

Go America! Continue to shun those who look / act / seem different from the masses! History has shown that this is a good thing to do!

But gay marriage was legalized in Massachusetts. Same with California and some other blue states until the Federal Government through a fit.

Being a black Democrat, I highly doubt Deval Patrick is going to crap all over any minority present in Massachusetts.

Yes, and thank the Lord. I could've done a better job than Romney.

Waiting for the rest of the states to come to their senses.

Until then, same sex couples will be seperate. But equal.

You know.

The fact that gays remain second class citizens.

Re: Gay Marriage Unconstitutional?

The thing that gets me about the whole debate is one of the founding principles of the US that never actually got carried out:

Separation of Church and State!

The only real arguement against same-sex marriage is that it breaks the moral/religious values of marriage. As far as our government is concerned, marriage should only be seen as a legal status, a (somewhat) binding contract between two people, and nothing more. It has no (again, as far as the government should be concerned) moral or religious implications. If the government cared about religious concerns, then hell, we might as well make divorce illegal, since that messes up the sanctity of marriage! Honestly, they should just change the definition of marriage from "between a man and a woman" to "between two people" and let the various churches and religious organizations decide for themselves whether or not they'll recognize the marriages (same way some people will refuse to accept that somebody is divorced, since there's no such thing by their beliefs).

Then again, we still swear on the Bible in court and are one nation under God, so I don't think the separation arguement will do much.
