BREAKING!: U.S SUPREME COURT TO TAKE UP GAY MARRIAGE ISSUE!!

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to take its first serious look at the issue of gay marriage, granting review of California's ban on same-sex marriage and of a federal law that defines marriage as only the legal union of a man and a woman.

At the very least, the court will look at this question: When states choose to permit the marriages of same-sex couples, can the federal government refuse to recognize their validity? But by also taking up the California case, the court could get to the more fundamental question of whether the states must permit marriages by gay people in the first place.

Gay marriage is legal here in Canada! I don't see us all morally decaying.

At least they are gonna think about it. Probably will go 5-4 conservative (old white guys) The shame of it is that WHO fucking cares who I choose to be with? Call it something different, just aknowledge that it does no harm, that it is a personal issue and that the government has no place in the bedroom!

A Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act would not, by itself, require states to allow same-sex marriages. But the federal government would be required to recognize those marriages in the states where they are legal.

The cases will be argued before the justices in March, with a decision expected by late June.

i hope gay marriage is not allowed i mean with all the hate and anger the gay community receives do you really want them to get married now? have they not suffered enough?

Maybe if they were allowed to get married, gays would have an easier time bonding with and mending with society and its expectations.

HAHAHAHA! Good Point. It is more the rights, If i am in the hospital my mother has more say thatn my significant other of 5 years. I cannot claim her on Insurance, taxes ect. I say call it something else, make up a new word for it.

Nah! marriage is about commitment, keep it as it is.

lol i was making a joke, marriage means more suffering

well lets see..the American Constitution says everyone has a right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

with that in mind, the only possible answer is:
people can choose to marry whomever they choose- without interference from others.


sadly though, liberty is retarDEAD.

in all seriousness i see no harm in gay marriage, it has very little effect on my life n if it makes someone happy then that why should they be denied happiness. if you dont support gay marriage then dont get gay married.

Well Said!

welp..................it's all downhill from here.........as soon as the federal goverment places its stamp of approval, we are living "like in the days of Noah"....I would be absolutly shocked if they stike down the California ban.

so people can see now so later in march they are not shocked to hear the case hearings

lol..

acting like we were going up hill before..

youre silly.
