Sad it only passed 5-4 and took so long. Congratulations to the Gay Community.

I always thought we weren't supposed to legislate morality, so I'm not clear why this has taken so long.
Separation of church and state, ya know.
Very happy that happy people can now be happy.

What I don't understand about the Supreme Court is; if they are all interpreting the Constitution about an issue, how can there be 5-4 decisions?
Some of them don't seem to care what the Constitution says, and are letting their personal(Religious) beliefs and Corporate ties influence their decisions.
Scalia and Thomas have been seen at Koch Bro. Parties.
Thomas's wife is the leader of a Tea Party Group!
And then they pass Citizens United!! and now our Congress is getting rich by taking money for votes, we are so screwed right now.
Citizens United must be overturned.
The Constitution needs to amended to say only a Natural person is a person, Corporations are not a person.
4 of them should be impeached tomorrow.

If you have heard all the crap the congress is doing these days, you would be concerned as me
They've totally sold out to highest bidder!!!
Dems and Repubs were paid millions each to vote for this TPTA
I wouldn't doubt it that the Republicans are now scheming to take down the SCOTUS decision, by allowing States to opt out.
They will fight it.
Sorry for being such a party pooper
Why 5-4?
That is a valid question, right?

America is great today.
Even conservatives love to hate things about ISIS, Iran and Afghanistan, things that we all don't want. Don't wanna be like ISIS, Iran and Afghanistan? Well, today we're not.
No gay person ever hurt my family or tore down my marriage. Equal rights, civil rights, like women voting, blacks voting, and more.
Today we rock!
Yaay America!

You're totally right there, most likely.
As a bit of a sidelight you might find it interesting that Justices Scalia
and Ginsburg are best friends? There was an article in the LA Times.
At least Supreme Court justices know it's OK to disagree with yer friends.

It passed is all that really matters. When people like Craig see this as a victory for his party, it shows he's part of the problem. This is a victory for Gay Rights and the freedoms they deserve.

Yes, it's great we all get along even though we disagree
Part of what problem?
The problem of allowing a small group of people that are discriminated against by another larger group of people the rights that they deserve?
It was always all about the Party of Conservatives fighting against allowing Gay marriage, and only them.

All of us deserve a little freedom. Good.
Now then... can we get back to trashing each other's differences of opinion?

Whatever gave you that idea?
What criminal laws don't legislate morality?

Gay Rights
"Gay" rights? Well now that we're all free mature adults maybe we can stop the dumbing down of our language and try to continue the conversation that started with truth
