US Supreme Court rules gay marriage is legal nationwide

[AgnesIO]

I don't understand any of that.

I think you belong to a very small minority who is against this. Look at social media.

Completely untrue. 38m people in Uganda - vast majority would be against this, along with vast numbers of other African populations. 1.57bn muslims - vast majority would be against this. I could go on - the world is no where near being 'in favour' of gay people. Social media paints a very false picture of the world. Very false indeed.

CONGRATS GAY AMERICANS, LIVE IN HAPPINESS 5EVA!

[Joe]

At the end of the day who gives a ****, anyone can love whoever they want and should have the legal right to show it. Go America!

You and others would be surprised to know I am actually kind of in favour of gay marriage nowadays, the reasoning being that as gay people have children it's best for children to have parents who are in a stable marriage. One can hold such a view, but be against unconstitutional means to pass legislation.

And i'm also doing my job as Debates Leader in provoking discussion so instead of a boring thead of "woo how great xx" x10 we've had an interesting discussion on both gay marriage itself as well as the American constitutional system and states rights. So chill out and remember it's a forum: to discuss stuff.

It's funny that people are personally attacking undertaker for simply having a different view. Only like their own beliefs enforced eh

Well, this is going to cause riots?

"It's my opinion!!!!!!!!!" is not and will never be a good excuse for bigotry. It's not a case of being different, it's a case of spouting nonsense and openly being a troll - he literally just admitted to being offensive and hateful just to provoke a response, and tried to justify it using his role which we all know he's almost uniquely unqualified for

but be against unconstitutional means to pass legislation.

If you read what's actually happened you'd see that what is really found to be unconstitutional is marriage inequality, not national protection of their people

Going by the oxford dictionary definition "intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself", I fail to see how he has done that in this thread (but feel free to point it out to me). It's not bigotry to merely disagree. Anyway, his main point from which I saw is that he thinks it should be a states decision to allow gay marriage or not.

@FlyingJesus; says I am being hateful and offensive.

So arguing that gay marriage is a matter for US states is hateful and offensive? What an idiot.
