Supreme Court ruling on Same-Sex Marriage



Normally, I do not touch subjects like this as they cause an incredible amount of angst and hysteria. But, after watching all the hysteria on the news outlets (all of which I am really starting to hate because they ALL distort the information to further their own agendas. Personally, I do not see a problem with the most recent ruling from the Supreme Court for same-sex marriage. Like or not, if anyone did not think that they would have ruled this way is an idiot. It is just pure and simple common sense as all same-sex couples wanted is the same equality as opposite-sex couples. From what I can see the Supreme Court is just saying that the same-sex couples have a right to marry from a state law perspective, not a religious one. Through all the hysteria, I do not see anywhere that it says that religious liberties are going to be violated or these organizations are going to be forced to perform same-sex marriages. Most religious organizations do not accept or recognize homosexuality so I can’t see a same-sex couple wanting to force this upon a religious organization. On the other hand there are people and groups that will attempt to do this just to be assholes and stir up controversy. The ruling today is more of a rights issue in regard to the state and not religion. There are such things as civil marriages and there are some religious organizations that will perform these ceremonies - Teresa
