Good question that one.

Be Prepared to loose your Marriage tax deduction if you are married. Be prepared to loose your religious tax deductions as well.

Those deductions are precisely the reason the Court ruled the way it did. If special considerations had not been granted UNDER THE LAW to heterosexual couples, there would have been no basis for homosexual couples to demand the same.

Pfft even if they did they will recognize the hate crime of refusing to serve/bow/bend over and take it up the rear from the faggot lovers and the faggots. Anyone with a dissenting opinion will be fined, jailed, their kids taken, their lives ruined, assets seized, or killed.

This pits the massive Christian population against the rest of the population. It’s divisive, evil, and FUBAR.

“I never thought I would reach the point where the flag of my own country fills me with more disgust than pride,”

Please don’t feel that way. What our beautiful flag represents is NOT what the liberal socialist stand for at all. I felt similar when Obama was re-elected and took our flags down.. But thank God my son (was 21 at the time) told me...Mom, now there is more reason than ever to act like a REAL American. He was right and still is. Someone has to do it!

Without the recognition, stability, and predictability marriage offers, their children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser.

Go back to high school biology class. Same sex unions cannot produce children. Any children in their household are the product of a different union.

Did this also strike down laws against first cousins marrying?

What other marriage prohibitions were struck down?

My interpretation says yes. If my state is forced to recognize same sex marriages from other states then those states must recognize my CC permit.

Tons of married homosexuals will now be able to adopt children, groom them, and rape them. Pedophilia will be next. Or polygamy. Or they will take crosses down across America because “the cross is a symbol of hate.”

For sharing this dissenting opinion on queer marriage I expect that someday they will take my kids away(if I ever have kids).

Good question that one.

Not really. If a State only recognizes out-of-State CCW's for a certain group of people, but nobody else, then it's a good question.

Raise your hand if you did not know this was going to happen.

Now its time for the 10th amendment. States need to just defy the ruling. Go their own way. Its past time.

Roberts the slime opened the door for this, I give him no credit at all.

It is becoming increasingly clear that as long as Christians continue to support the system as stands, fight in its army, etc. they are laying the tracks for their own destruction. It is not time for the Glenn Beck style of resistance, that time has passed...

Can’t wait till people on here start saying this was a clever way for the Court to keep Sharia from taking over our society

The robed Houdinis have just given ISIS and its fellow travelers yet another reason to attack us - we've just proven to them that we are an even greater Satan than they thought before...and maybe we are.

An excerpt from Scalia’s dissent:

“Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court.”

Different?

All it is is a different form of marriage, as homo is to hetero.

What of cousins? Why in many places are there restrictions on relations marrying? No one seems to question excluding cousins from marrying.

That is the point. If they must allow homos to marry, they surely must allow anyone, of any type, and any number, to marry.

I never thought I would reach the point where the flag of my own country fills me with more disgust than pride, disgust at what a socialist deginerate cesspool this once great nation has become.

Well, there's an alternative flag that you can use - and now the Stars & Bars is likely cheaper, due to less demand. :>)

Rather amazing that the same Chief Justice Roberts, who performed amazing legal gymnastics to uphold Obamacare, can also write a cogent dissent on the gay marriage issue, exposing today’s ruling for what it is: five liberal lawyers, with commissions to interpret the law, imposing their beliefs on a nation that remains largely opposed to gay marriage, in spite of recent polling data.

He also correctly identifies the next fight, and trust me, it’s coming:

“Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that seem to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage—when, for example, a religious college provides married student housing only to opposite-sex married couples, or a religious adoption agency declines to place children with same-sex married couples. Indeed, the Solicitor General candidly acknowledged that the tax-exempt status of some religious institutions would be in question if they opposed same sex marriage...unfortunately, people of faith can take little comfort in the treatment they receive from the majority today.”

The recently-retired senior pastor of my church once shared a dream he had with the congregation. In the last years of his life, he saw himself in prison for refusing to support the rights of gays. I haven’t spoken with him since this morning’s ruling, but he would probably say he’s one step closer to that prison cell.
