Few things will be right with this country until the republicans, are all ousted from positions of influence. Can't happen soon enough to suit me.
The states have the right to define a marriage not the Supreme Court period.
If you don't like the law in that state move that's all their is to it.
Yep. Enough of cafeteria-style Constitutional rights. Equality under the law for all, no matter where you live.
Your Creator's Order is Genesis 2: 24 ; Ephesians 5: 30-32 '"A GREAT MYSTERY". All who refuse to obey (like Eve)
will say like the rich man (Luke 16: 24)"send ? that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame".
