As far as the law is concerned, marriage is a civil contract. You don’t actually think that a County clerk is a priest of some religion, do you? Or that the legislature is a synod of Bishops? They’re not. The state’s interest lies solely in the legalities of the civil relationship between the spouses.
The law is undeniable, which is why the SCOTUS ruled as it did: The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the States from denying the equal protection (or benefit) of the State’s laws to all residents of the State. The Amendment was clearly ratified in order to prevent the Southern States from granting privileges to one group that they denied to others, and from protecting one group but not protecting another. And that’s precisely what offering the legal benefits of marriage to one group but not to another does: It offers benefits to one group, but not to another, and gives legal protection to one group, but not to another.
Define "group" then we can have discussion.
Pedophiles?
Polygamists?
Bestialists?
Sado-masochists
Sure these are all "groups", and they've been around for centuries. Doing their thing.
Marriage has never meant anything other than man/woman.
Because someone simply WANTS something doesn't mean they are able to redefine everyone else's beliefs.
Which group is being denied? I have a feeling you've been drinking the Leftist koolaid.
Total garbage. Marriage is an Establishment of religion. A state can do contracts it has no authority over marriage which is and always was an establishment of religion. As far as her being a priests that’s also garbage. She has the absolute right to express her faith. The issue here is as it always has been the cultural Marxists forcing Christians to act against their beliefs. The USSC ruled the way they did because it had Ginsberg and Sotomyer on it both who were by law not supposed to hear that case because of their own direct conflict of interest in it. There is nothing in the US Constitution that allowed that court to say anything about marriage. So no its not law involved here, its Agenda.

Have you ever asked yourself how a small percentage of the American population with a certain sexual preference, that has been considered contrary to nature since time began, ever won the title of a legitimate “minority group.”? They claim that they were “born that way” and that is what gives them the right to claim the same rights as straight people.
Has it ever occurred to you that, since the portal of nature’s law has been breached by a group of Supreme Court Justices; that there will be little or no platform to deny those same rights to those who practice bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia or any of the other vile sexual practices of mentally deranged? After all, they can make the claim that they were “created” that way too and that their clique shouldn’t be discriminated against either.
The Supreme Court of the United States, with its LGBT ruling, rather than advance our society, has laid the groundwork for its destruction. No man made law can override those of The Almighty. The consequences and punishments for trying to do so will be swift in coming.
