It's astounding.

Similarly, the disenfranchisement of women was once a non issue yet the government ruled the practice inconsistent with the principles of the constitution. Therefore, it naturally follows that discrimination based on sexual orientation similarly violates the aforementioned clauses of the constitution.
I'm not implying that the constitution is immutable, but rather that the current state of the constitution clearly rejects the notion of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, creed, national origin, class, and sexual orientation. America was founded on the principles of secularism and a devotion to the shining ideals detailed in the Constitution. Unless the US suddenly becomes a theocratic dictatorship where the whims of religious groups can override the Constitution, gay marriage is almost inevitable.

You've got the confederate flag (the American equivalent of the Nazi flag) flying in State Capitols, renowned colleges and universities, and (amazingly) part of official constituent State flags. Gay marriage was legalized nationwide, but the ultimate symbol of racism in America is flying at venerated institutions, ouch! The LBGT community is getting more victories than African Americans.

Yes it is a choice. Hence why you see homosexual activity in American prisons....bring committed by men who are otherwise straight. So it is a choice to be gay.SaciidAyanleh wrote:FAH1223 wrote:It's a crazy how 60% of Americans were against gay marriage 15 years ago and now that same number is for it

More people realize it's not a choice and, therefore, shouldn't be discriminated against.

There was no discrimination. Civil Unions already exist between gay couples, and these unions afford gay couples the same rights as normal couples. Marriage is itself a religious institution and is not subject to the reinterpretations of outsiders. It would be akin to ordaining an Atheist Priest, and then crying discrimination when people frown upon the term.Based wrote:ayylmaoBased- wrote: I'm saying that the constitution guarantees the rights of all its citizens and ensures that all are granted due process and equal protection under the law, regardless of the outrage of reactionaries.

If America wants to reach a compromise, they should do away with government-approved marriages altogether and instead have civil unions for all, including straight couples.

Satan tells them to have bum sex and they have bum sex, absolutely disgusting. This is why we need shariah so we can kill these fags. I don't care if any of you weirdos who claim to be western disagree with me but homosexuality especially in men is immoral and disgusting. There's a reason why God destroyed the people of Lut. Btw I have no problem with gay people I just don't like their actions. And have you noticed a lot of gays abuse little boys and also commit incest, naclatuallah!
