@TheMango121 Except....of course...Atheists, agnostics, and a whole variety of people who don't identify with any religious label get married. Religion doesn't own marriage, simply because there are too many non religious people who get married and too many DIFFERENT religions who practice marriage.

PROBLEM OPENED.

Good luck, Edie! You are absolutely AWESOME and an inspiration beyond words to myself and the entire LGBT community! Thank you, you sweet, sweet amazing woman!! I just saw the documentary Edie & Thea - a very long engagement and thus found out about your case after googling you. I'm sooooooo sorry for your incredible loss. My heart breaks for you knowing how much you and Thea loved each other. I know you are making Thea proud...

LOL Obama is just as lawless as the Bush administration.

The aclu should be fighting to get benefits taken away from EVERYONE in terms of marriage, not just give it to gay people.

Marriage is a religious ceremony, and should be a strictly based on religion, you get no benefits from being married by the state.

PROBLEM SOLVES.

@53dumey Look darling, I'm sorry you're that ignorant, but it's a nice day outside and I have better things to do than waste my time trying to educate you why your inane comments are homophobic, why your reasoning (roughly "there's more heteros than gays, therefore the gays must leave") is laughable, or why the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution directly applies to the marriages of same-sex couples. Luckily, our federal judges are substantially more intelligent and mature than you.

@WOI999

ROFL !!

Theres NOTHING in the Constitution about Gay Marriage, in fact theres nothing in there about marriage period.

"Homophobe " ?

Why are you such a Heterophobe ?

Wether you use Religion or Evolution, homosexuality is nothing more than a diseased mind.

So, why should over 100 million people move to Teheran to make way for a few million ?

It just does'nt add up !

@BlackRepublican2010 You're pathetic. My black (same-sex) partner thinks so, too.

@53dumey Thank you, sweetheart, your generosity is indeed touching. Don't worry though, we can have hot sex both on exotic islands AND at home. And, since we know how to protect the Constitution and the citizens' rights guaranteed by it, and since we have no intention of moving anywhere contrary to our own will, the few remaining homophobes around have two options: either grow up and learn how to live with and respect other human beings or book a one-way trip to Teheran. The choice is yours.

@WOI999

Since over 80% of the country are Hetero, how about all you Fudge Packers find an island somewhere where you can have your sick orgies !

I'll even chip in a few bucks to make it happen, and I'm sure 40% of the country would also !

@53dumey If you want to live in a place without LGBT people (at least according to the authorities), and without civil liberties, I suggest you check out Iran. I bet you'll love it there.
