  1. Yknow I'm a Conservative in my country, and indeed a member of the LGBT community, and this is really not an issue here. We actually have a married lesbian as the leader of the Scottsh Conservatives. Ruth Davidson, check her out my bros, from my perspective she's single-handedly saving Scotland from the pinkos

  7. Seems pretty clear (to me at least) that the 14th amendment would protect them. I somewhat understand the dissenting opinion, however the 14th amendment makes it pretty clear that they're protected.

  8. Marriage has been described for thousands of years as a union between a man and a woman. Therefore gay marriage, the union between people of the same sex, isn't marriage.

  9. yay for creating pathological families where children are deprived of a mother or a father. it's also puzzling that bigamy is illegal in the US and Canada. I thought people should be free to marry who they want?

  10. high quality content all around, I really appreciate this channel and especially the supreme court briefs and state comparisons, keep up the good work.

  13. That quote at the end was beautiful and brought a tear to my eye.
    In my country, Ireland, we passed a referendum in favour of gay marriage (to ammend our constitution it requires a popular vote) the first country to pass gay marriage by popular vote. We also did the same recently with abortion, the first referendum I've voted in.

  14. forcing same sex marriage is unconstitutional because there is no clause that protects SEX, in the 14th and the 19th only refers to voting rights. marriage is a state institution and the 14th only applies things protected by the bill of rights, which sex is not.

  19. Marriage for anyone is stupid. It's just a way for a govt or religion to tell you that you're accepted. F%#k all that, just be with whoever you want, it's your business. Don't let the state know either way, they'll just f%#k it up.

  20. I seriously hate this decision. I mean there was a compromise of civil unions brought up. There was nothing wrong with that. I'm not homophobic I just happened to disagree. Now all these fiery opinions I'm stating are basically because they are leading to the pussification of America and the pathetically correct culture which needs to be stopped now before you get arrested for giving someone a dirty look and they begin to prosecute For Thought crimes. SMH fuck you Kennedy. Not John Kennedy was my favorite President that hurts to say that so fuck you again Justice Kennedy

  22. Why doesn't America offer civil partnerships that are basically marriage in all but name? I have religious friends who disagree with gay marriage saying that marriage should generally only be done by religious people. A solution that would work for both is to have Civil partnerships as the default and marriage for the religious people. Legally they have the same benefits. Why don't countries do this method?

  25. This ruling was 100% UNconstitutional. The 10th Amendment states:
    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
    Translation: Since same-sex marriage is not listed as a constitutional right, it's up to the state governments to either legalize or ban it under state law. It's NOT the federal government's decision to either legalize or ban it under federal law. Now, some people are saying that the ruling was legal under the 14th Amendment. This is false. The 14th Amendment states:
    "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 makes this argument flawed is the amendment's use of the word "person". By "person", the 14th amendment refers to people of different races and/or ethnicities, not people's personal interests or life choices. So, the 13 states who originally banned same-sex marriage were basically forced to recognize it, even though they had every constitutional right to not recognize it. This ruling was just plain wrong.

  26. With how people are looking at Roe v Wade nowadays I feel like next time there is a liberal Congress they should just pass a law cementing this decision in place

  27. 61% isn't what I'd call 'uncontroversial', being that it means 2 in every 5 people oppose it. I'd hope the US public would be a little more accepting by now.

  30. In Uruguay it was the Congress that pass the law of same sex marriage, not the SC so another SC could reverse this decision, and lets fe fair it has more weight is the elected members of Congress pass a law.

  34. If two people, no matter their gender or race want to be miserable in a loving marriage/relationship as heterosexual couple, who the [bleep] are "you" (the reader) to stop them? How about making it more difficult for divorce AND 2nd and 3rd marriages? How about calling those who ask foreign governments for interference in domestic elections what they are, TRAITORS. (Yes, I'm talking about #PresidentPussyAssBitch aka: #DipshitDonnie aka: #TraitorousTrump.)

  37. I am a classical liberal republican, and personally I think the government shouldn’t be involved in marriage at all and marriage should be a private matter. However, I do not believe that gay marriage is protected by the constitution.
