Today, the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states nationwide.
This is a historic victory for civil rights and LGBT advocates, and the culmination of a decades long change in public opinion towards same-sex marriage.
“The court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry. No longer may this liberty be denied to them,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion. He was joined in the opinion by the court’s liberal justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
All four of the court’s most conservative members — Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — dissented and each wrote separate opinions.

Fantastic news. Should've happened a long time ago.
The dissenting opinions are disgusting from the dissenting judges. I can't stand some of these justices that just throw around phrases like "revising/revisionist" or "active/overreaching judiciary" or anything similar when a decision doesn't go their way.

I agree with ssm, but disagree with gay adoption. I think that todays society is so caught up in trying to get away from the conservative nature of the last 100 years, that many people have jumped to the social far left in order to seem different from generations past. Just 1 mans opinion.
Edit: Therefore, in practice I am against all ssm.

Why on earth would anyone be against gay adoption?
there's plenty of absolutely retarded hetero people who are shit parents. Perfect example is Palin's stupid shit kid who got knocked up out of wedlock again (probably by a new guy) and made a goddamn post about how the kids unwanted. Talk about a mind fuck when that kid gets old enough to learn that one.
there's absolutely no reason to think that gay people would be any better or worse as a parent

Not to mention the plethora of research that shows that gay parents can raise kids just as well as heterosexual parents.

Good job US. Hopefully our politicians and judges will take the american example to heart.

Ah, clearly spoken by somebody who has not had the questionable pleasure of growing up without parents in some shithole orphanage.
