Marriage is a civil institution represented by a legal license from the state -- and is thus subject to the Constitution guaranteeing equal treatment under the law. Marriage -- the legal kind -- has nothing to do with religious spectacles or rituals.

Sexual preference is not a protected class therefore not covered under the 14th amendment.

If that is the case, Kathleen, then you won't mind if weird Al marries his german shepherd.

Dan, a German Shepherd is an animal, not a consenting adult. Animals aren't guaranteed equal treatment under the law -- human beings are.

Anyone who spends time in the Bible knows where this country and the rest of the world are headed. God clearly foretold the events that would unfold during the end times here on earth. I understand what we want is for people in society to see and call sin by its name; however, we live in a time where God's Word is no longer valid to many and people want and will do whatever their hearts desires regardless of what God states. What’s even more disturbing is many people who call themselves Christians are giving in and trying to water down the Word of God in order to fulfill their hearts desires. Read 2 Tim 3:1-9 and 2 Tim 4:3-5. There are many more verses in the Bible; however, people just refuse to read and accept God’s word as the only and final authority. Come Lord Jesus come and purify this earth of all evil and filth. As the Bible states, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3). If people call ourselves Christians, then we are to be Christlike. To be Christlike is to do His will not ours. Very simple very clear! Who will you serve, God or the father of lies (Satan)? Your choice, 15. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15.

12 years ago I began refusing to serve willingly on any jury. SCOTUS decisions for 40 years have been an insult to our ethic. We have summarily been dismissed from the system. Without insult to court officers and with respect for their positions, Christians do have grounds to protest peacefully against the flood of insults we are receiving. I will not go quietly into the night as though my ethics are a harm to the country now run by anti Christian antagonists and their secular atheist friends. John Adams circa 1785, "Our Constitution was made for a religious and moral people (Judeo Christian) and is wholly inadequate for any other".
