But there are more jobs in the wedding industry and hopefully less teenagers are hanging themselves in the basement.
Gay marriage changes NOTHING. Churches and religious folk aren't forced to acknowledge it. You can go on not allowing gays to wed in the mega church. It's a civil union that allows folks to get life insurance, visitation rights, tax benefits, etc.
Gay people also like the fact that they can love eachother openly.
I can't understand that a nation like yours - so obsessed with freedom - is so afraid to let anyone be free. You truly do appear to the rest of the world as the most hateful nation on earth.
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
What we're seeing now is the due process of law to overturn bans on gay marriage to provide privileges and immunities gay people should've constitutionally had in the first place.
TL;DR version: Just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't make it unconstitutional.
Sorry to shock you. You are free to not believe me.
Nothing more...nothing less.
