Sometimes I feel this is issue is a bad tennis set. Back and fourth -- no resolution.

Sometimes I feel this is issue is a bad tennis set. Back and fourth -- no resolution.

This is why we need a Constitutional Amendment. Game, Set, and Match.

Exactly what part of the NY constitution (or any other state for that matter) promotes or allows - SPECIFICALLY- gay marriage?

None - it's activist judges who are legislating from the bench.

""The court recognized that unless gay people can marry, they are not being treated equally under the law," said Susan Sommer, a Lambda Legal Defense Fund lawyer who presented the case."

It would seem reasonable to assume that under such a ruling that anyone could get married to anyone regardless of just about any restrictions. I mean if you cannot restrict marriage based upon sex, which is a fundamental part of the definition of marriage, then how can you restrict any other aspect.

Doris Ling-Cohan, now that's a Democratic name if ever I've heard one! A Democratic judicial activist no doubt!

[RetroWarrior]

What about the ban on "Offensive speech in public?"

[DTogo]

Are we are headed toward another, actual, civil war based on cultural ideas? The majority might get fed up with this and other things being forced upon them and their children, and if the American representative process offers no recourse...

Equal protection - gay people can marry just as often as heterosexual people. There is absolutely no restriction on sexual orientation for marriage.

The only requirement is that it be a man and a woman. Someone get that judge a dictionary.

[StonyBurk]

Yet another reason everybody needs write and call their
elected representatives (congressmen ,and or Senators and
demand the Federal Marriage Amendment be passed to the people immediatly to remove the definition of marriage from the queer lot in black robes.And avoid further divisions in this nation.Marriage is the union of one man and one woman in Holy matrimony.No substitutes-nothing else
can compare And any freaking Mere politician who does NOT
agree does NOT represent me or my interests and I WILL NOT
follow where they wish to lead.(the end thereof is death)

[JOE6PAK]

IM a simple guy. So this means the poofters can marry each other. NOT that anything is wrong with that.

[digger48]

It's sure convenient how these cases end up being decided by Clinton appointees.

"The court recognized that unless gay people can marry, they are not being treated equally under the law," said Susan Sommer, a Lambda Legal Defense Fund lawyer who presented the case.

This very same argument could be used to allow polygamous marriage. "If we don't allow polygamists to marry, they are not being treated equally under the law".

Besides, gay people already have the right to marry in all 50 states. Gay people just can't marry each other.
