Yep, denying equality under the law is always great news! Fuck the 14th Amendment - majority rules, bitches!

North Carolina doesn't see this as a 14th Amendment issue, and they are correct. It's a Rule of Law issue, but fuck Rule of Law, right Threedee?

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Seems pretty clear to me. Let's see what the Supreme Court has to say about this issue within the next 5 - 10 years. Gay marriage will eventually be the law of the land, whether you like it or not.

Not to me. Your interpretation green lights everything under the sun. That's not what this country is about, and it's certainly not the intent of that Amendment. Hell, even Bill Clinton knew that as even he signed off on DOMA.

Gay marriage will go as fast as it comes. This is what happens when an agenda is shepherded by flakes.
 
Marriage is anything but gay.
Post marriage is Gay!

Marriage liscences should have to be renewed annually like all other liscences.

Clinton was a great President, but he was wrong about DOMA. That said, at the time Americans' view of gay marriage was radically different than it is today. Polls indicate that the majority of Americans are comfortable with gay marriage.

Tell me, how do you interpret "nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"?
 
DOMA is one of the few things Clinton did right. Americans' view of gay marriage is roughly the same as it was in 1996. if the majority of Americans were cool with gay marriage, then gay marriage would be legal in the majority of the United States. Stop making shit up.

Gay marriage isn't a "protection" issue; it's a "violation of law" issue; therefore, it needs to be stopped.

That's a foolish argument, and conflicts with polling data. Case in point:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/08/us-usa-gaymarriage-poll-idUSBRE8471DW20120508

"Gallup's survey a year ago marked the first time in the poll's history that a majority of Americans - 53 percent - said they favored legalization of same-sex marriage. Gallup first asked the question in 1996, when only 27 percent of respondents supported it."

pwned.

Americans' view of gay marriage is evolving. Sooner or later, it will be the law of the land. I can't wait for that day, if for no other reason than to piss off the Religious Reich.

It's interesting that the polls show a majority of Americans support gay marriage when 30 states have voted against it and the President is basically waiting until after the election to come out publicly in support of it.
 
I realize that it's a drag, but progressivism always wins out in the end, after some setbacks along the way.

In 100 years, gay marriage will be legal everywhere, and there isn't anything you or NC can do about it...
 
I don't know why everyone seems to mis-state things.....

You all mean they banned same sex marriage........gays can marry and that won't change.....

I can't speak for those who cave under social pressure. In their heart of hearts, I'm certain most Americans still oppose gay marriage. They're just too weak or afraid to admit it.

Your little gay fantasy will increase in momentum, but it'll never last. Enjoy it while you can. In the meantime, I'll vote to uphold the law.

There is a study out showing the anti gay males are self loathing homo's.
