SCOTUS protects marriage equality

[WinterBorn]

Can anyone tell me why some people get so upset about same sex couples marrying?

It has absolutely no effect on your marriage. It also has no effect on your life. If 2 people love each other, why the fuck do you care that they get married?

Well there is one reason and it's religious. According to certain beliefs, it will bring the destruction.

Marriage is between a man and a woman. There is no other definition.

That was true in the past. But it is no longer true. Same sex marriages are recognized by the US gov't and the majority of the states.

I try to respect people's religious beliefs.

But our government is required to be secular.

Men cannot procreate with other men.
Women cannot procreate with other women.

No they cannot. That holds true for 2 gay men or 2 straight men.

If someone enters a civil union, and someone asks if they are married, should they say "No, we are civilly unioned?

Yes, it is a marriage. And FYI, marriage is not necessarily a religious institution.

"marriage" is a word coopted by religion but it was a word created in civic society and NOT tied to any religions but religions can no more claim it for all use then the Boys Club of America could. Groups do not get to claim words and then apply their own exclusive definition to them.

How long does the newly married couple have to procreate before their marriage is dissolved?

No, it is not about procreation. Nothing in the typical marriage vows mentions children. There are plenty of married couples without children. Should they be forced to divorce?

Nobody believes a requirement to have kids is a requirement otherwise they would focus and ban men and women who are known to be infertile from marrying, even if they heterosexual, and they do not want to do that and have never tried, thus proving what they say is bullshit and they do not believe it.

MAGA morons only want to gay bash. Correct that marriage isn't necessarily a religious right. A couple can walk up to the country clerk's office and be married there. It's a legal contract recognized by the government for legal reasons such as survivorship, property ownership, taxes, etc.

HATE,

It really is that simple.

A percent of people in society have ALWAYS needed someone to direct hate at and gays were it for the longest time before they were given 'brown people' by Trump and then 'trans people' also by Trump.

It seems to me a number slightly below 30% of society (in US) just have this HATE that needs to be fed all the time.

...and one's religious beliefs should never be imposed upon an American. The MAGAts whine all the time about Sharia Law yet they are the ones attempting to impose religious law upon all Americans.

So marriage is just a made up word and no definition of it can be taken seriously?

You're nuts, Q-tip...

I have a news flash for you, and that is ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP. That is an absolute truth. You can look up when most words were first made up.

The nutty person is you or anyone like you who says "I alone get to dictate what the definition of the word is".

If you get to do that, so to does everyone else and then all definitions are equally valid. A nutty person says 'no, only mine is'.

How long does the newly married couple have to procreate before their marriage is dissolved?

The statement is about civil unions. The newly civilly-unioned couple can remain civilly-unioned for as long as they wish without procreating.

No, it is not about procreation.

Procreating absolutely is about procreating.

Nothing in the typical marriage vows mentions children.

Correct.

There are plenty of married couples without children.

Correct. Marriage is about potential for procreation.
