People opposing gay marriage are a tiny minority in the country right now. And it is a non-issue now. It will never go back.

I have to take issue with that. "Gay Marriage" (the concept is so inane!) has never won in any state in a popular referendum on the issue!

How can the population be so brainwashed and intimidated so that opponents of this absolute idiocy are reduced to a bunch of passive bystanders as you contend? Aside from the religious conflicts "gay marriage" portends, there are obvious deleterious economic and social consequences of "gay marriage" that the media are very reluctant to mention. Marital status affects an individual's duties and benefits with with respect to quite a number of federal and state laws and private contracts.

Clearly, contrary to the foolish opinion of the SCOTUS majority, the Fourteenth Amendment's due process and equal protection clauses were never meant to be relevant to this issue.

This is the SCOTUS destroying the meaning of the Constitution just to satisfy the wishes of a small minority of powerful activists, another reminder of the Left's desire to rewrite the Constitution by judicial fiat. A haymaker of a punch against the rule of law in the United States!

It was voted down in CA; I hope you weren’t counting that referendum. It would pass with flying rainbow flags today,

Maine and Maryland both had votes on gay marriage and it was passed by the voters.

Certainly not trying to fight with you, but it isn’t accurate to say voters never voted for gay marriage anywhere. :)
