ot. marriage is totally gay.

[scaredyclassic]

Sure it’s a victory of sorts. But I find myself nostalgic for the old days when my gay friends,were edgier, weirder, cooler, getting laid like crazy…. This just makes gay so dull like the rest of us. Equality is better I suppose. But I miss my youth.

I miss gay from the 70s and 80s.

Maybe you should go into divorce law — should grow by at least 10% in the next few years…

In all seriousness, court’s been on a roll the past week or so. Between the LAPD motel register privacy case, the ACA case, and this.

Gay marriage is legal. But the opinion doesn’t mention divorce. Conservatives may argue that at Gay people are stuck in their marriage. All the straight people can then flee the institution and set up a new type of marriage. Call it straight marriage. We can give new special benefits to married straights, like free ponies.

I was hoping that ACA and gay marriage would continue to be issues in 2016.
As a political sportsman, I would rather have had political matches as the legislative level in every state. Great entertainment. We would have ended up with a progressive America, and a redneck America. People and businesses would have voted with their feet and eventually redneck America would have been totally huminiliated and impoverished into capitulation.

But for the sake of the Union and national unity, I’m gratified that my side has won on so many front. We won because we have better, superior ideas.

Barf.

Brian, due to your checkered past, you have very little leeway on the political flame war front. Please dispense with your attempts to rekindle the right vs. left tribalist bullshit — now, and forever.

A major victory for your team calls for celebrations and gloating. Likely one of most significant civil rights advancement in a lifetime.

[FlyerInHi]

Scaredy, young people use the word “gay” to mean boring and unexciting. With this decision, gay marriage has become just like straight marriage. Did you mean it that way?

A victory for civil rights (which I agree with) –> awesome, bring on the celebration

A victory for your “team” –> not interested, please go elsewhere with your “team” nonsense

There are a million places on the web to get into left vs. right flamewars. This isn’t one of them, despite your repeated efforts.

If you want to talk about policy, be my guest. But take the tribalism elsewhere. I’m serious.

Jeebus X. Khrist on a unicycle, no sense of humor here?

I’m all for watching a good political fight. ding-ding-ding BRING IT!

Policywise, the Supreme Court spared the country a bruising, divisive culture war that would have eventually resulted in legal gay marriage nationwide anyway.

I admire Justice Roberts for guiding the court so far. But in this case he sided with the wrong side of history. And that will negatively affect his legacy.

See, now that’s sticking to the issues. Nice work. Is that so hard?

I don’t see where sense of humor comes into it… nothing Brian said was funny (at least not on purpose — I found the phrase “As a political sportsman” quite hilariously lame, but I don’t think that was the intended effect).

Anyway, this site is not for political fights… if that’s what you are looking for there are plenty of other places on the net to find it. FlyerinHI is well aware of the site policy towards this kind of thing (which is pretty much the only policy there is… you’d think it would be easy to follow that one rule, but apparently not).

Are they there to spare the country from having a debate? If it’s so inevitable, then why not let the people speak instead of having 9 people dictating it?

I support gay marriage, but I don’t support how it came about. I would much rather have the majority open their minds and accept the idea themselves instead of having 9 high and mighty judges dictating it. Just look at the legalization of marijuana as a prime example of how quick things can turn around.
