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

Took long enough. Now they just need to make sure all the people who have same-sex marriages don't lose their jobs and homes. Don't get me wrong, this is awesome and a step in the right direction and I am happy. ...But I am still worried for all those who might lose their jobs and such as a result.

Great job, America. Finally catching up with the rest of the world I see. Good on ya! Now lets keep this equality ball rolling and kill the bloody segregation redux with the whole jim crow-like anti-gay laws BS?
 
I haven't read the whole thing yet. I figure I should save it for when I need a laugh. ;)

It was likened to this:

Which is pretty accurate. His dissent from yesterday on Obamacare was also a pretty funny read.
 
this is great, but this still isn't the end. there's a lot more ground to cover for this, like getting same sex marriage legal in other countries, and a lot more things to do for the LGBTQA+ community in general.

FINALLY!!!! I never understood why the hell people were so against same sex marriage. It's literally none of their concern/business. If two people of the same gender wants to get married, then let them. If they love one another, then what's so wrong with that. I'M SO HAPPY <3 This is just great news!~ c:
 
Now that gay marriage is legal, all they need to do is to shut down the Westboro Baptist Church. Fred Phelps may be dead, but WBC is still active. So the issue is resolved, but there's still work that's needed to be done.

yes please! organisations like that shouldnt be allowed to operate like this.
also want an official apology from republicans for the hate campaigns and homophobia of the last election and attitudes in general.

this took way to long to happen. but i'm glad it did finally, atleast we dont have to argue about it anymore and can actually deal with the real issues now and work towards real equality.

Reminder that the fight is long from over though, especially for the trans community.

oh yeah, its certainly a huge step forward for basic human rights that should already be a thing, but still a small step in the grand scheme of things

but hey, every small step helps, right?

Could you please add 'In the US' in your post?

ok, done
 
concerned homophobic biggots might riot or take some kind of serious action in protest. hoping the couples who decide to get married stay safe
 
Words cannot describe how wonderful this is, but the fight is far from over. While marriage equality a huge step in the right direction there are still establishments that can and will fire you for being gay/lesbian & you can be fired for getting married now as well.

yes, this can not be overstated enough

for reference: https://twitter.com/tnewmstweet/status/614438979400810496

it really should've been struck down with this as well, but we can't expect the USA government to be that progressively fast, now can we?

I don't want to ever get married myself.

how ironic

When I heard this this morning, I was so happy. Although I'm straight, I'm a huge supporter; mainly because I have two uncles who have been dying to get married. It made me so happy to finally hear such good news. I think this is a great step for our country. It's a shame that so many people are speaking out against it, though.
 
I am happy that finally someone realized that loving another person isn't a crime against nature... Honestly though, I wasn't expecting it to be this early. Still, as others have said, the fight is long from over, but at least there's a dtep in the right direction. Slowly but surely we're getting there.
 
Even though this was passed here last month, I am still very very happy.

This is a great day for all of the LGBT+ community. Hopefully the US will lead the way for some other countries (cough Australia cough). Though the war isn't over, this battle has been won. While it should be celebrated, it should not be forgotten that there are many more obstacles which must be overcome before true equality can be achieved.

Really great news!
I assume there will be quite a bit of "raging" from those against it so we'll see what drama will happen in the US. But I'm really happy they finally legalized it! And throughout the whole country too! Very great news!
 
Yay! ♥ I support everyone, no matter what your sexual orientation is, love is love. My family does not agree with me on this, but oh well. Everybody should have the right to be with the one they love!
 
so does anyone know if the couple that vowed to divorce are seeking attorneys or if that preacher is on fire yet
