   This video made me realize that maybe the problem is that marriage is relatively unique in it's position as both a religious and legal institution. While it may have been this way for millenia, if you think about it in a vacuum, it's clear that having legal rights conferred only on the basis of a religious union is theocratic and a violation of the separation between church and state. The answer seems to be to divorce legal marriage from religious marriage entirely (which many would say is already the case given that a couple can get married in a courthouse instead of a church and that a non-courthouse recognized religious marriage doesn't confer legal benefits), but I would argue that this is not the case given that: 1. We are still having this conversation, 2. They use the same word, which contributes to the confusion that leads to point 1, and 3. There still exist expectations and barriers on legal marriages based on a religious foundation, e.g. the number of people that can be legally married to each other. I can't say which group should get to keep the term "marriage" but I do think it would go a great deal towards solving this problem if the two institutions were separated entirely and given different names. That way the fight for gay marriages to be recognized by the Christian church would have nothing to do with the fight for gay marriages to be legally recognized.

   I know two gay couples who are super conservative. I’m not sure how they can be so blind to what is happening. They think they are “one of them” but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

   That sucks but just like row wade, it will be left up to the state as it should have been. Pretty sure I know more married gays than straight people, in Idaho also and not a single one is worried about it. Personally the government doesn't belong in marriage, gay, straight or married to a tree…Charlie kirk also thought that. But this is what you get when you dont do things right the first time around.

    Why gay marriage and not guns? No really. 10 yrs ago, the SC ruled in favor citing not only sex discrimination BUT also privacy. Stray bullets and dangerous gunholders kill more than gay marriage. Mind your business and keep your guns.

    I am at a loss at how you can stand up for gay marriage in one video, but villify may-december relationships in another, or voluntary s3x between people of widely disparage ages.

    If you're going to stand up for freedom and the right of anyone to love whoever they want regardless of gender, stand up for everyone to love whoever they want regardless of age.

    Uh, she simply filed her case with SCOTUS. SCOTUS only takes less than 1% of cases filed with them. SCOTUS should refuse Kim Davis's case, among other reasons, because she was a government employee at the time of the incident, and the 1st Amendment religious protection only applies to private citizens in their private capacity, not to "Goverment Action, aka: 'State Action' " which is what Kim's actions were as a government employee when she refused to give out the same sex marriage license. Also, when SCOTUS asks the opposing side to reply, this is not an indicator of interest in the case by SCOTUS. SCOTUS always asks the other side to reply, as they did in my own SCOTUS case, and the other side is free to file a reply brief or not. Want to know more?

    If officials will be able to act outside of law based on their religious believes, it will be quite interesting for women to live in america. Imagine a woman not being graduate from university because an official decides that their religion forbids women to gain education.
    This is basically moving america towards a theocracy where religious freedom means freedom to force other people into your religion if you're christian

    Yes, gay marriage is so absolutely banned by her religion that it is mentioned in its core tenets, the ten commandments.

    Actually, I seem to be having some difficulty finding the correct commandment. Could someone please direct me to which of the 10 mentions this?

    If the state has freedom of religion, then by definition the individual does not. W state where the state may choose what religion will become public policy is called a theocracy.

    Yeah, as a Christian, this isn't how religious freedom works. Now, if she was a priest denying a same-sex couple getting married in a church, this would be okay. (As a note, Christian doctrine defines marriage as "procreative", which is what enforces man+woman marriages). A state marriage is completely different, and is often called a "Civil Union" for a reason. As it is, this lady is just refusing to do her job.

    This is about trans people, not gay people (I'm both lol hear me out). TLDR: To conservatives, being gay is the gateway to being transgender. They think that by attacking queer relationships, they're nipping the "transgender problem" in the bud.

    You're right when you say that society at large doesn't consider being gay to be immoral. What you're missing is how conservatives tie together being gay with being transgender, and how their entire axe to grind right now is with trans people – not gay people.

    The issue, in their eyes, always comes back to a transgression of gendered norms. They see gay couples as being in the same "camp" as trans people, because – to them – relationships are meant to only serve the gender roles of society. (Why do you think so many conservatives adopt what is essentially arranged marriages?) And, to them, if they can stop people from transgressing those norms, they can end "homosexuality" in practice.

    The reason this ties back to trans people is because our transgression of those norms doesn't require another person. We don't need to convince anyone else that we are who we say we are, and history has proven that with the number of people through history who lived stealth, or who were celebrated in non-Western cultures. Ours is not a disposition that requires acknowledgement by larger society, unlike marriage which is functionally nothing without society's acceptance (as you pointed out). And, because they erroneously tie sexuality with gender identity, they see ending same sex marriage as a means to an end in "eradicating transgenderism."

    This makes me both sad and angry. In my humble christian opinion, free agency is one of the most beautiful gifts we receive from God. And denying people the right to marry who their heart and conscience both allow? That's spitting on that free agency.

    As long as you hurt no one, then you should get to make your own choices. No state or institution should deny you that right. Mrs Davis can believe what she wants, as we all do. But she cannot use her freedom to infringe on the freedom of others. If her conscience doesn't allow her to sign those marriage licences, then she should find another job that won't conflict with her morals.

    Let's stop backsliding. Enough people have suffered already. We need more love in this world. Not all this hate, division, and hypocrisy. I do not judge that woman for her divorces, but I believe she would do well to apply the same spirit of compassion and mercy that the Lord gives her to all she encounters.
    To anyone potentially affected by this : I see you and I pray for your peace ❤

    I am personally looking forwards to reading the arguments for why US government officials should be legally allowed to refuse to follow or enforce the laws of the US government when they themselves feel as if it is in conflict with their own beliefs.

    And again, why this right is solely there when conservative employees wish to limit the rights of people they do not like.

    Obviously it will be terrible for the US and the thin wail that is the pretence of a functional legal system and equality under the law.
    So the slight enjoyment of reading the mental gymnastics certainly won’t make up for the possibly irreparable harm it will do to the US.

    We won with gay marriage. After centuries of being 2nd class. But then the left says oh wait. Your gay marriage also comes with half of south Americas population, a brick of fentanyl, and of course TRANS. Wtf? You now have gay rights but you can no longer safely walk your dog or jog at night like you have your whole life. As for the right, I remember being gay in the 90’s and Matthew Shepard. I also remember HIV positive men throwing thier feces on government officials door handles in the early 90’s. If the church wants all that back again then by all means ban it. People are born gay. That’s never going to change. The war will rage on. You could kill us all and a million more would be born on the same day. It’s genetic. If the right wants to keep this wonderful law and order thing going where we continue to clean out the crime then they are going to need a win in 2028. This one topic will absolutely send all the centrists running back to the left “in spite”. As a gay man, if the church comes after me again by nationalizing Christianity I’ll vote left again. Stay out of my wallet (left) stay out of my bedroom (right) and I promise to be a good little QUIET gay. Who does promote all this trans shit or do pride parades.

    Thinking that a court decision won’t affect previously existing marriages is hopefull thought.
    For instance, in Italy after the far right overturned the possibility of a child having two parents of the same sex, children have had their birth certificate put to trial for annulment.
    Many May have the @non biologic” parent erased.
    Some time ago I saw a documentary about that. Since then there must have been a court decision… I dont know what it was…

WE AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!
