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....

Florists, churches, bakers and wedding planners hardest hit.

Cowards.

the question now becomes...

do you want to live in and support a homo nation?

[2ndDivisionVet]

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

I would say that the reason it is legal is because the American people have allowed its government to usurp their power almost entirely.

We have allowed this to happen.

[Turbo Pig]

Now is the time for states to start ignoring edicts from federal judges and beuaracracy.

Possibly the most Catholic country on Earth and a very low cost of living:

We are headed down a very dark path. Looks like the only remedy will be a wrathful God.

In which states is gay marriage still illegal? I want to give them my business.

[GeronL]

I don’t really have any faith in SCOTUS any more than any other branch of government

[Poison Pill]

At this point I just want the gov’t out of the marriage business. Strip out recognition penalties and benefits and let everyone file taxes as a single. Government has become a de facto church in this regard and thats bad.

You sound like a glutton for punishment.

Two or three mothers in law. What could go wrong?

[Resolute Conservative]

Name one nation that is not. Muzzy nations support it even though the condemn homosexuality they all do it

[2ndDivisionVet]

You do realize that in almost every case (maybe EVERY CASE) it was judges, not the people or legislatures, that did this, right? Even California had a voter-supported ban on homosexual marriage until the judiciary came along.

[EternalVigilance]

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.

[ConservativeDude]

wow, gay marriage in Oklahoma.

[AceMineral]

Oklahoma is OK!

What else would one expect in this new America. I can't imagine living in this world in 20 yrs.
