On June 26, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses violated the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling made same sex marriage legal in all 50 U.S. States.

@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Same sex marriage is morally equivalent to opposite sex marriage. It's none of the government business the gender of a couple getting married. I support marriage. Marriage can be between any two consenting adults, a man and a man, a woman and a woman , a man and a woman, a genderfluid and a woman, a enby and a man. Not allowing queer marriage is discriminatory.
@9ZHBQHX5mos5MO
no way someone made an argument more than 2 words
@9H4KM541yr1Y
Same sex marriage is wrong, I am tired of pride and anything to do with lbgtq, I don't want to see the rainbow flag anymore or rainbow crosswalks. The rainbow belongs to God not homosexuals. Tired of having the issue shoved in my face on television radio. Homosexuals should not be allowed to have children. There should be a mom and dad in the home so children a good upbringing
@B2KP2D43mos3MO
statistically speaking, a lot of kids only have one parent present with straight couples. I don’t know what planet you live on that a good upbringing includes a “mom and a dad”, doesn’t really matter who’s raising kids as long as they’re cared for and loved.
@B29S3WS3mos3MO
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but why not?
How does a gay parenthood harm the adopted (or surrogated) child? I'm not attacking or anything, just wanting to understand the FULL story with NO dramatization whatsoever. Just the cold hard facts. How can the gay people POTENTIALLY harm their children? Oh, and please leave religion out of this. Just the true facts that can be proven.
@8QKZFDZ4yrs4Y
Doesn't matter to me. Everyone has the right to their own marriage.
@968PG6K3yrs3Y
i dont really care its their body and their own life
@9KLW5CW1yr1Y
Same sex marriage should have nothing to do with any institution, it is between those getting married and that is it.
@B4FM9XB2wks2W
Yes, same-sex marriage is already legal nationwide and should be treated as a human right rather than a privilege that can be denied.
@mintybudgie1wk1W
absolutely, no government should be able to take that right away from people
Take religion ceremony out between 2 genders getting married. Allow the marriage license through the government
@9J4LJ4S1yr1Y
Its not up to me to decide, its a personal decision based on personal beliefs. Government should not be involved in marriage.
@9H34J25Libertarian1yr1Y
Take the government out of marriage it is a decision only between the two people, up to each religion whether they want to allow it
@8SKZLX44yrs4Y
Its neither the governments decsion nor the churches
@8VLKTVSNew Democratic4yrs4Y
yes, the government has no right to say who can marry who
@B46P6K94wks4W
From what I understand government involvement in marriage was for the protection of children. The 'legal' institution of marriage has been eroded to be fairly meaningless. New laws to protect children may be in order.
@B2RX3TQ2mos2MO
I support the right but do not support same sex marriage. Churches should refuse same-sex ceremonies but people should be legally allowed to be married in same-sex marriages.
@9ZZ37MKConservative5mos5MO
Yes but certain cultures have the fight to reject the ideas of same sex marriage such as Christianity, Sikhism, Islam they have independent rights to function as they desire
@9ZYC2HL5mos5MO
I do not support same sex marriage. But I believe have the right to do what they want, even if i do not agree with their actions.
@9FMPCV82yrs2Y
I don't have anything against it but I don't have an interest in this topic.
@9FDNVC72yrs2Y
I do support it but at the same time it is very irrelevant to myself.
@9F9S3CZ2yrs2Y
I do support, and its fine if you are proud of your sexuality but dont make me have to be proud of it.
@9F92WTDConservative2yrs2Y
yes they should because people can love who they love and should not be discriminated against that
@9F8V4GB2yrs2Y
doesnt matter to me as long as im not affected
@9F85RMJ2yrs2Y
Not against it, neither do I support it.
@9F7T9GZ2yrs2Y
i dont support it due to religious reasons but im not fully against it.
@9F6YRJ82yrs2Y
Yes, I just personally don't agree with it but I will not judge others because of it I will treat them like everybody else
@B2FKZYD3mos3MO
no, theres already places that allow it therefore everywhere shouldnt have to change for them if they want it they should go to those places.
@9KZ9LTCConservative1yr1Y
I don’t agree with same sex marriages but I don’t think the right should be taken away. You shouldn’t go to jail because you choose to love someone. Even if we think it is wrong it’s not my place to judge.
@9JVMDPQ1yr1Y
I do not care. As long as it dose not affect me. I think people should have the right to not believe in it. Churches can be allowed to refuse the same-sex marriages.
@9V3BFHY7mos7MO
Churches and other religions or views of people that do not agree with same-sex marriage or marriages with lgbtq+ have legal right to say no to marriage of their property and can exhibit refusal of lgbtq+ people entrance on ones property or space.
@8YZF2WX3yrs3Y
I dont mind because it's their decision and we should let them do what they want
@8T2FYCZ4yrs4Y
gobernment should stay out of ppls bedrooms
yes, no matter the sex of the people getting married they should be fully supported and we should have more safe opportunities for them to do so
@9STG5TR8mos8MO
its not my right to say I don't really care but marriage is marriage and if you love that person let them get married if they want too
@9SSDCDY8mos8MO
Im religious but I do not have a opinion on this if someone loves another person they should be together.
@8R9YBHV4yrs4Y
The fact that we allow citizens to decide if two consenting adults, that are strangers to them, can be married is ridiculous
@8QRNKHZConservative4yrs4Y
Yea go for it, don’t care , people wanna be gay and do there thing, I’m all for it
@9Q6N7G410mos10MO
The government should not be involved in what two parties decide to do, as long as it’s not forced from any side family members.
@9BBHV972yrs2Y
Yes, although I don't agree with it. Allow churches to deny ceremonies to same-sex marriages
@8CL9ZVF5yrs5Y
As long as they don’t flaunt it or keep it mainly in the bedroom then sure. No gay pride parades either
@MadisonR694yrs4Y
Pride parades are to commemorate the stonewall riots, a major turning point in gay rights history.
@8SDSV3C4yrs4Y
It depends on the individuals to choose to marry the same sex of course. Since Canada is diverse and open to everyone's differences it should allow people to marry the same sex, however I personally disagree with same sex marriage due to my religion.
@968R72P3yrs3Y
No because I’m Muslim and I can’t support that
@9CLG2962yrs2Y
As a Muslim, i don't support it but i will not go out of my way to cause disruptions if it is taking place.
@9C63S732yrs2Y
It aligns against my beliefs but as long as it does not affect me. I don't really care.
@99V94F42yrs2Y
I do not support traditional marriage
@96N8C2KConservative2yrs2Y
I don’t really care just don’t talk to me about it at all
@96GN9N63yrs3Y
Marriage shouldn't be something the government should be involved with.
@96G8MDV3yrs3Y
I don't mind same sex marriage, as long as they are a functioning member of society
@96FCYNK3yrs3Y
I think its futile and pointless whats the point of same sex marriage if you cant pull maidens
@968RHGS3yrs3Y
Some religions don’t allow you to support them
@967C9WP3yrs3Y
it really doesn';t matter to much to me. just don't show it off.
@95YP3PC3yrs3Y
You should have the right to marry who you want.
@95NLT8R3yrs3Y
I guess if they really love each other
No, Love shouldn't be decided by anybody else except yourself
@95LXXMB3yrs3Y
@958NSFF3yrs3Y
I support it, just wouldn't do it myself. I think it is weird
@94XMTNC3yrs3Y
no, as it is not a normal thing and it is odd
@93P8YRM3yrs3Y
Yes but the couple should not be allowed to adopt or have kid(s) until the culture of same sex parents have got embedded into the society
Death To gays and ****** s
@933LMPX3yrs3Y
Truthfully, I am torn. But churches need to be able to reserve the right to say no.
@92M8FFH3yrs3Y
Last I checked that was legal as of 2005 with the passing of the federal Civil Marriage Act which made same sex marriage legal across the country. Answer regards is yes, since it already is a thing.
@8Z73KYH3yrs3Y
I could care less whether or not same sex marriage is legal just don't make it every one elses business
@8Z3VYJ83yrs3Y
Not supporting but not condemning it
@8XMJR2H3yrs3Y
I don't really care so my position is neither yes nor no
@8WSLRTK3yrs3Y
yes, no one should be able to refuse something that is not harming anyone or anything
@8WQRSBZNew Democratic3yrs3Y
yes, people should be allowed to make their own decisions.
@8WPCHCT4yrs4Y
I don’t support it at all but it’s their choice so there’s nothing I can do about it
im gay, of course i agree with same sex marriage
@8VX2VCF4yrs4Y
I think everyone should do what’s best for them and not care what others say.
@8VSSXGJ4yrs4Y
everyone should be able live their life's as they please
@8VS823M4yrs4Y
Remove government involvement in marriage (such as tax breaks,) and allow the couple to decide how to designate themself (such as marriage under a religious institution or civil unions.)
@8VRGYKY4yrs4Y
I don't care about it but don't want it thrown in my face by having a parade
@8VQSXZC4yrs4Y
love is love, there should be no restrictions to who you want to spend your life with in hand-in-marriage.
@8VQ2T9F4yrs4Y
i don't really care, if it happens it happens and good for them.
@8VPWD3M4yrs4Y
yes but religious places like mosques and churches should be able to refuse ceremonies of same sex marriage
@8VN2H544yrs4Y
People’s choice of their body should be their decision. Their decision who they want to be with
@8VLTQ8H4yrs4Y
I think that it is up to people to decide whomever they want to marry except themselves.
