I would rather the court not step into this. I support gay marriage but think it should be done at the polls and in the legislatures.

It seems to me that you are saying that only I see discrimination against gays? JFC, do you feel discrimination is happening against gays?

This is why the courts exist. Because polls and legislatures are not infallible, and they often times move against the Constitution, which the courts defend. |

That OP is a butchered version of this controversy. Virtually no one thinks gays don't deserve all the same rights as every other American. The broad question is whether or not same sex marriage is a right. And to be honest, the question in these cases is even narrower than that.

That would violate the 14th amendment.

Clearly not the SAME thing. But the REASON why both exist(ed), well they come from the same place. People in the power/majority group think that the people in the no power/minority group are "lesser" in some way and decide that they don't deserve certain things. In the case of whites and blacks, not so long ago, whites decided that blacks shouldn't have the right to make any decisions or live the life they choose because they weren't good people. In the case of men and women for centuries, men decided women weren't smart or capable enough to have careers or make their own choices, in some countries to choose their own husbands, or pick their own leaders. Right now straight people are doing the same garbage to gay people. They don't think gays' relationships are "good" so they don't want to legitimize them. It's pretty simple, actually.
The truth is, this is all about making lines in the sand about morality, and what makes sense. If you murder someone, society takes away your freedom because you a bad person and don't deserve to live in that society anymore. Some people think that being black, or a woman, or being gay is analogous to committing a crime, and are trying to extend that same long arm of the law into their lives. Now, we all know that being black or a woman isn't a crime... It's time the thinking people in this country stand up for gays as well. There's no place for this discrimination in a land that known as freedom. |

If you would insert the word black, mexican, muslim, senior citzens etc. into some of the statements of posters on here instead of gay/homosexual, I wonder if there opinion would be changed?

9th amendment: just because a right is not in the Constitution does not mean it doesn't exist.
I see absolutely no difference in two gay people wanting to get married, and two black people wanting to get married. Do you? |

Some states prevent both heterosexuals and homosexuals from entering into same sex marriage. If heterosexuals could do it but not homosexuals (or vice versa), then we'd have an equal protection issue.
