This way, they can make every state recognize their abomination, not just California.

IMHO, only churches should have the right to “wed” people (a man and a woman). The State should give civil union licenses, instead. That’s just my opinion.

We’d still end up with the same issues regarding benefits.

There are many arguments that can be made about this issue, but for me the biggest one is that it impinges upon the First Amendment rights of free exercise of religion. If gay marriage is found constitutional that how can any pastor of any church refuse to marry gays or hold gay marriages in their churches?That will never happen, even if SCOTUS holds there is a constitutional right to gay marriage. No case has ever required a Catholic priest to marry someone who has a civil divorce but not a church annulment. No case has ever required an orthodox Rabbi to marry a Jew and a non-Jew. If there is a right to gay marriage, it is a right to a civil marriage and to a marriage in any church willing to do it.
The same would be true of any religious person who has a bakery or a photography business, etc. They will be accused of discrimination and this will open the door to all kinds of lawsuits.
That is a different issue. A few states have already had lawsuits on that basis, where state civil rights laws forbid discrimination against gays in "public accommodations." I think those cases are wrong, but your fear is much more likely to materialize there.

Well looks like all states will have to follow the upcoming Supreme Court ruling so I think gay couples and straight couples should be granted civil union licenses. If a civil union doesn’t work out, then the state can dissolve it. Marriage, however, should belong to the realm of the Church. That way, we can still defend marriage.

this should be Roberts opportunity to come out

The right of churches to “opt out” has been destroyed via healthcare.
The road to hell has been carefully and deviously paved by liberals.

Thank you! And Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I think what they will point out...is that only states can legislate this kind of stuff...Congress and the Senate can’t. And everyone will stand there in some agreement.

By the way, I wonder if Kagan and Roberts will recuse themselves.On what basis are they recused?
To: CityCenter
If gay marriage is found constitutional that how can any pastor of any church refuse to marry gays or hold gay marriages in their churches?
Divorce and remarriage is permitted by law but the Catholic Church is not obligated to perform marriage ceremonies for divorced people.
Protestants are permitted to get married but the Catholic Church is not required to perform weddings for Protestants.
Just because same sex couples are permitted to marry does not mean that the Catholic Church (or any other church) will be required to perform gay marriages.

The Stool Pushers Union are all in for this one.

On what basis are they recused?The same basis a fox judge should not be in charge of a court that rules on whether foxes should be legally able to eat chickens.
