Same-sex marriage ruled a constitutional right by the Supreme Court 5-4

Took long enough! Im so glad for the lgbt+ community though, this is a big step for them

i didn't make the meme m8, and it says christians, not "all christians".

I know you didn't, and it might not say it but I'm pretty positive its implied lol

 

[inkling]

yay! LOL. Should have been done a long time ago...BUT its a step in the right direction. With all the other negative (well, brutal) things going on in this country at the moment this is a step in the right direction.

The more we move towards equal rights for all, the more there will be reactionary type people. We all just have to keep aware and keep talking about the bad stuff we see and support the good stuff.

i see why people are upset from a legal standpoint. lemme put it like this. since the supreme court essentially went around the 1st amendment to make it legal across the country rather than waiting for all 50 states to do it on their own, it shows that the government can go around the constitution.

actually........no states are not alowed to take away consititutional rights.

I truly believe old people shouldn`t be judges. Because lets face it, they are losing touch with the core essence of society. They should keep their bigotry for the nursing homes. Step aside for the new generation grandpa`s.

But congrats, welcome to the 21st century America.

not trying to be rude, but quite honestly you sound like a bigot yourself

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but I've seen quite a few people on twitter complaining and saying that they're going to move to Canada becaise of this. Is anyone going to tell them Canada has allowed same-sex marriage since 2005?

I'm in Britain, so this doesn't really affect me as much, but congrats to all the couples that this legally allows to get married.

Yeah there are some bigots who know there is marriage equality in Canada so they've said they're moving to Australia, which doesn't have marriage equality.

I'm very happy for the equality that has been long overdue!
Love is love, no matter what and I'm glad that our country is finally taking the steps to supporting that.

This was probably the best news I've ever heard in a long time ^^ Everyone deserves to have love and shouldn't be denied the right to share their love with the person of their choice.

I don't know what's better - the actual ruling itself or the amount of overreactions that I've heard from so many people who are dead against it. Some of my favorites include "the human race is going to become endangered", "it was a tragic error", "now I know how the Jews felt when Nazi Germany was getting into power", and my absolute favorite, "this is the beginning of the Christian holocaust."

Either way, it's about time. Supremacy Clause rules over state's own bigotry in their laws as well.

Also the people who think that LGBT rights have been "won" now.

Yay!!!

I've been raving about this non stop. I'm so FREAKIN' glad. The on going struggle for equal rights in this country isn't over by any means, but this is an amazing step to be taking.

I saw a fair amount of negativity from friends on Facebook, though. So I decided for every over reactive, hateful post on my timeline, I would post something obnoxiously pro-LGBT on my feed in return. So far I've been deleted by 6 people. Which honestly I could choose to be upset about, but I'd rather see it as a friend cleansing. Especially since I recently came out as Pan. I don't need homophobes, biphobes, transphobes, or any other kinda person like that in my life anyways.✌Deuces.
