I am sure he is more concerned about Robertscare then the gay marriage deal. Once the gates were opened up in a few states... this ruling was inevitable either now or in the future.
however, logically one could also argue its more regulation. a real victory might have been to get govt out of the marriage sanctioning business. (i have not really thought about the ramifications of such a position.)
Allowing gay marriage is more freedom, which is akin to less government.[/QUOTE]

Fine, but don't persecute me when I don't want to be apart of something I find morally and religiously taboo.
Of course not. You have the right to be free of persecution.
I tend to agree. I know too many gay people to get all twisted up about this. Besides, as is the case with most of these political causes, it's the fanatical loud mouth, hair on fire activists that screw it up for everyone. Every gay person I know just wants to live their lives with as few problems as possible. I was just at a picnic last weekend hosted by a couple of old gay guys I've known for years. Very, shall we say, eclectic crowd. Lots of fun though, but everyone there does have a wicked sense of humor.
They allow other people with birth defects to get married. I guess we should let "gay" people get married also.
BUT! I am against the government forcing normal people to do things they DON'T want to do as a result of these "gay" people getting married. This was taken from someone else on the Internet:
"The big deal is forcing a court clerk with religious convictions to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples, forcing a Christian Bakery to bake an explicit wedding cake for a homosexual couple, forcing a doctor to hand out hormone pills to a man who wants breasts so his husband can play with them and being forced to accept these patients as married couples, forcing a Christian photographer to attend a gay wedding and photograph the things that he or she finds repulsive and against their religion, forcing private schools to have same sex couples attending school events where traditional families are forced to be exposed to them as though they were a couple, This would be like making an atheist attend prayers in a school, or forcing a Jew to eat Pork - and if one doesn't comply - they get sued, lose their business, lose their... job, and end up bankrupted by court cases that they cannot afford to defend against. It is a violation of the Constitution for the Government to force people to act against their religious beliefs. And what will happen when some man shows up at your door and tells you he has married your 12 year old son - will you be forced to let him get away with that crap? Since marriage can now be anything a nut case wants it to be. Or when you find out that your neighbors are a group of 6 or 10 people in a community marriage - and now you have to sit by and watch that abomination on a daily basis - and the value of your house has plummeted to nothing. Gays don't just go about their lives - they flaunt their "gayness" loud and obnoxiously."
