Fourteenth Amendment

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
 
One man and one woman until a few years later when one of them cheats on the other and the marriage breaks apart. That's a legitimate straight marriage.

ALSO: one man and one woman who met on a TV competition about marriage. That's also a legitimate straight marriage.

Straight marriage is pretty strange. Thank god it is sacred.
Absurdity; the last desperate refuge for the ignorant, the dishonest and the stupid when they know they have lost an argument.

The Fourteenth Amendment protects the right to marry as a fundamental right, based on the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses. This was affirmed in the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which ruled that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry and required all states to license and recognize same-sex marriages. The amendment also protects the right to marry without racial discrimination, as established in Loving v. Virginia.

Again, only rational people will be able to understand this. Only those supportive of the Constitution will accept it.

MAGAts are neither. This is why they are all enemies of the Constitution and should be dealt with severely when the time comes.
 
Same-sex marriages and the definition of marriage caused that?
No, you brainless mental patient; the slow dissolution of the two-parent family, removing God from the public space, making marriage a meaningless term by reducing it to merely two people in love regardless of intent and sex and turning citizens into dependent wards of the state.
 
About 28–30% of white babies in the United States are born to unmarried mothers. This means nearly one in three births among white women occur outside of marriage, according to recent CDC and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data

Is there a point here? Other than the one that sits on your shoulders? :palm:

Interesting because there's still churches in every corner and straight marriages and family units are still intact.

And how is SSM making citizens dependent on the state?
 
If one denies the right of marriage to one group then there has to be a legitimate reason as to why. So far none has been offered.

Clearly straight marriages that are founded on the most hilariously flimsy grounds like a TV reality show are considered "Sacred before God" so why not two dudes?

The only reason I can think is that you wish to deny the reality of the relationship. No other reasons have been offered.

So why do you deny gay people the right to marry? (And don't say "definition" because that's just facile)
You give new meaning to the term clueless dotard. :palm:
 
Well, I personally know several same sex couples who are married. They file joint taxes, own property together, and rais or adopt children.

They enjoy every benefit and responsibility for being married that you do.
It is a known fact that children are mentally better off when raised by the two loving parents that gave them birth. There are always minor exceptions. Not all married couples who have children are perfect.

This warped and demented notion that same sex couples can be stand-ins is absurd, nonsensical and delusional.
