we can go on and on about laws, morality and the definition of marriage but the fact is- times are changing and when gay couples do have the right to marry, all the opposing will have the right to get over it. period. Jim marrying johnny does not in fringe on the marriage on Mary and Nick, and if mary and nick are threated by jim and johnny, chances are their not very reasonable or moral people to begin with. get over people. move on, respect others- be american.

During WWII, German citizens overwhelmingly supported the Holocaust. Does that mean it was the right thing to do? And not long ago, the majority of USA population opposed interracial marriage. Despite the public opinion, federal law NEVER prohibited IR marriage; in 1967, Supreme Court overruled state laws that did so. Gay marriage is no different, and laws prohibiting it (e.g., DOMA) are also unconstitutional. A policy is not ethically/legally appropriate simply because voters support it.

This damned FRUITBOWL government and the perverted (p)resident must be SATANIC, and really super stupid, when a minority of perverts can tell the rest of our citizens that it's going to force this law on us. WATCH OUT for the REVENGE, and re-instatement -it's coming !!!

When 50% of all marriages end in divorce there is no integrity left in marriage. This isn't a "protect marriage' law. Your gay neighbors getting a legal paper issued to them saying the state recognizes their union will not affect you in any way. It isn't going to disvalue your own marriage, nor is it going to taint your children's minds. This is a "I hate gays, therefore I will bully them, and society into conforming to my psychosocial ways" law.

Huckabee is on point. Obama will not get a repeat vote from me. I repent that I voted for that reprobate (Obama) the first time.

The fact is, he has no clue what he's talking about on THIS issue. There's more than one way to construct a successful, socially-beneficially family. Every citizen has the right to impartiality by his or her representative government even if EVERY OTHER person in the country disagrees. Preventing a married same-sex couple from being recognized as a family unit is sex discrimination and anti-family at that. If you're going to be pro-family, you have to accept that not every family is the same an
