Gay Marriage Is Now Legal In Most Of The Country Because The Supreme Court Did Nothing
MTV News ^ | October 6, 2014 | Gil Kaufman

Add 11 more states to the list where same-sex marriage is legal.

Gay marriage supporters have had a lot to cheer over the past two years thanks to a series of landmark rulings that have paved the way for marriage equality in an ever-increasing number of states. But on Monday morning (October 6), it was something the Supreme court didn’t do that will make same-sex marriage the law in the majority of the country.

At the start of the new Supreme Court term, the justices announced that they had rejected appeals from five states that were seeking to prohibit same-sex marriages (Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin), which basically means that gay marriage will become the law effective immediately. According to the Associated Press, the justices did not comment on why they were denying the appeals....

You do realize that in almost every case (maybe EVERY CASE) it was judges, not the people or legislatures, that did this, right?

True in most cases.

In Hawaii, 70% of the people are against gay marriage and the legislature still passed it. This after campaigning that they would not do that.

The good news is that the Dem incumbent Governor lost his primary by 30 pts. largely on this issue (although there were others also). Even Democrat Hawaii voters are mad about this.

Might as well start shopping for a second wife, polygamy should be here before Halloween.

The way libtards would have it, you could have an underage wife. Hell, they'll toss in a couple of underage boys as well.

Only about 1-2% of people are “gay.” Only a minority of them are interested in “marriage.”

“Gay marriage” is preposterous, but it is a sideshow.

Easy divorce, the existence of government schools, the income tax, estate taxes, and subsidies for illegitimacy are vastly greater threats to the family and society.

And, of course, an illegal alien Muslim terrorist in the White House, executing a plan to kill 90% of the American People, is an infinitely more urgent problem that “gay marriage” helps distract people from.

If the allegedly “Catholic” Cardinal Archbishop of New York is serving as Grand Marshal of a Gay Pride Parade next March 17th, what should be expected of “Catholics” on the Supreme Court.

Courts don’t make law. And laws or court opinions that violate the laws of nature and nature’s God, or the Constitution, are null and void. Understand this, and live it out in politics, or lose America.

The SCOTUS is comprised of a bunch of tyrants. They took God out of schools, made it legal to slaughter the unborn, and now have decided to legalize the nonsensical. The present and past members of the SCOTUS are going to have a lot of explaining to do on judgement day.

marriage equality

Lies are not equal to truth. Government has invented its own definition of marriage because the beast system and its riders reject God, Creator of the natural order. Placing themselves as gods, they destroy, not create.

Biological reality witnesses against their man-made perversions on multiple levels.

Next time these delusional malcontents need a screwdriver, hand them another screw. Just call it hardware equality..

Why must 30 states allow SSM? Judge Scalia said they were going to rule soon. Maybe they are planning a surprise.

Florists, churches, bakers and wedding planners hardest hit.

Divorce lawyers are thrilled.

The Court turned to the bible for an answer.

And came up with a Pontius Pilate ‘solution’.

That’s not completely accurate. A lot of the laws banning gay unions were in place and legitimately passed by many state legislatures. It has been a slew of judges and circuit courts just deciding to overturn what the voters had decided.
