Kinda late to be jumping on the bandwagon given that there are only 14 regressive states left.

quick! name a legal issue involved

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

1) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex?

2) Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state?

just sayin'

I don't think Justices deciding constitutional issues in ways you would disagree with is pussying out

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Let's hope they rule that marriage is only between a man and woman. It's the way marriage was meant to be.

Wouldn't that deprive you of your only hope for a happily married life?

And if they don't?

Please. We don't claim him.

They either cave like Roe v Wade or declare it's a state matter to decide. If they say relationships are protected or homosexuals are race or that they are practising a form of religion then that opens the flood gate for every other atypical legalized union(s).

Why would they said "homosexuals are race"? That's not in the presented arguments.

And if they don't?

Then the nation is morally lost due to political correctness.

No....really. What would you do? Cry? Party? Get Married? Get Divorced because marriage is now ruined for you?

Once he comes out of the closet you won't have a choice!

Because that would be a Constitutional matter. For example, the government cannot deny a black man the right to marry a woman a white man could marry if he too was eligible. To say the government must be gender neutral won't work because then we cannot have men and women's rest rooms on government property. So the best hope would be for the Supremes to classify homosexuals as a race. Government cannot discriminate against race.
