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.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@8ZLD3KV3yrs3Y
Yes, and same-sex couples should receive the same benefits that opposite-couples receive.
@8ZVJ2373yrs3Y
I don't support but I respect.
Deleted4yrs4Y
although marriage is between a man and a woman, the government should stay out of marriage regardless.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Get the government put of marriage. It should be a consensual agreement between two adults.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Marriage should be a consensual agreement between two adults; so yes.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Marriage should be a consensual agreement between two adults, so yes. Keep the government out of these kinds of decisions.

its a person's choice and I don't really see nothing wrong with it, it doesn't hurt me
@928PJ8Q3yrs3Y
No, but allow states to decide whether or not to recognize it
@92JQGNY3yrs3Y
i dont support or disagree with it
Deleted3yrs3Y
Marriage should be a consensual agreement between two adults.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
No, it is a contradiction in terms and therefore impossible to legalize, since the definition of marriage is the legal union of one man and one woman for life.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Sure, marriage is a consensual agreement between two adults.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Government should stay out of marriage. Marriage is a consensual agreement between two adults.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, the government has no right in making these decisions. Two consensual adults agreeing to marry should be the basis of marriage.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Marriage is a consensual agreement between two adults, so yes.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, the government should have no say in deciding otherwise.
Deleted4yrs4Y

i believe that there was a male and female put on this earth for them not for girls and girl or guys and guys to date or have intercourse. but it dont bother me

No gays are incapable of love
Deleted4yrs4Y
Marriage should be an agreement between two consenting adults; get politics out of private life.
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
I don't support it per se, but I do support the civil liberties of those who choose who they love.
@8QB4L7Q4yrs4Y
Like abortion, the Constitution does not refer to marriage and therefore it should be not manipulated into doing so...it should be left up to the States
@8QHRLTL4yrs4Y
It does not matter to me whether or not it is legalized, it does not affect my life.
@8QG5XSM4yrs4Y
@8LHBBC54yrs4Y
yes, I still can't grasp this concept. if you don't support same-sex marriage, simply don't get into a same-sex marriage. I fully understand if it's not your thing or maybe because of religious reasons you're not the biggest supporter. but, if someone else wants to get married that's THEIR business, and if it makes you uncomfortable, oh well not everything's going to accommodate you.
@92T3ZDG3yrs3Y
I do not care for it., but I do not hate the topic.
@925J4Q83yrs3Y
depends on religious beliefs and where the couple lives
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Permanently and irrevocably ban all non-heterosexual or asexual sexual and romantic orientations in predominantly and potentially predominantly Republican states, U.S. territories, counties and county-equivalents, Washington D.C., cities, towns, villages, Indian reservations, Census Designated Areas (CDP's) and other unincorporated areas and unincorporated communities, etc.

@8PK69PX4yrs4Y
Any 2 people above 18 and above should be able to get married without involving any government.
@8NTZM4X4yrs4Y
Yes, allow the same sex marriage and allow them to have ceremonies in the churges or wherever they want it.
@8QRCFQP4yrs4Y
Government shouldn’t be involved in marriage at all
@68QRLZT4yrs4Y
Yes, but allow churches and other religious institutions the right to refuse to perform same-sex ceremonies
@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
It should be left up to the states and not the federal government. But states that don't want it, should still honor same sex marriage licenses from states that allow it, and not discriminate same sex couples from state tax laws
@78S5M874yrs4Y
Yes, all humans should be treated equal and do what they want with their lives.
@KatieSMudd4yrs4Y
Yes, but allow places of worship to refuse same-sex ceremonies. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT THE ONLY RELIGION IN WHICH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE COULD BE FROWNED UPON.
@8CVZTRX4yrs4Y
Without a constitutional amendment, the right of same-sex marriage is given. The government should also get out of the incentives to marry.
@8CVBF4S4yrs4Y
No, by my religious beliefs
@8FPLGKD4yrs4Y
Yes, and churches should not be able to refuse same-sex ceremonies as long as they are performing a civil ceremony. If churches paid taxes, they would have the right to refuse.
@8GN9K5M4yrs4Y
I would have preferred civil unions or taking the government out of marriage. Now that it is legal, I don't see value in doubling back, while still supporting churches' right to refuse ceremonies. However, LGBT people still require anti-discrimination protections in many other areas, like housing, and (at least secular) employment.
@8HVYQVS4yrs4Y
its up to them i dont really mind
@8JF23HL4yrs4Y
No, remove government from all marriage
@8JRGWTX4yrs4Y
I don’t mind, its their life, it hasn’t anything to do with me
@8KRN5MQ4yrs4Y
I think 2 people who love each other should be able to get married.
@8LJD4FT4yrs4Y
Yes, marriage is a human right and you should be able to marry whoever you love regardless oof gender
@8MMFD8C4yrs4Y
i do not support same sex marriage but if a states allows it, the couple can get married if they want.
@8NLKXJQ4yrs4Y
I don’t agree with same-sex marriage, but the government shouldn’t control who can marry who.
@8NXSCW24yrs4Y
No. Take the gov't out of marriage completely.
@8PJHVJN4yrs4Y
Completely against LGBTQ+ rights, but this should be decided by ballot referendum
@8PTQ54W4yrs4Y
Yes, everyone should be able to marry any person they choose regardless of gender
@8PRBVSN4yrs4Y
Yes, I'm planning on getting same sex married
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman. Civil unions make it seem acceptable to move in together, which leads to sin and the destruction of souls and the country.
@8QPW6L24yrs4Y
No, but I'm not opposed to it being legalized.
@DavidTveraas4yrs4Y
The definition of marriage should be civilly agreed upon by the parties participating and not defined by the government at all, but same-sex couples should be treated equally with opposite-sex couples
@8TH2QWQ3yrs3Y
Yes, people should be allowed to marry who ever they want to marry no matter their sexuality.
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
Although I personally do not support homosexuality, it is a settled issue. However stronger emphasis should be made on one man, one woman.
@8ZY2RKD2yrs2Y
Yes but I will support civil unions not marriage because marriage is between a man and a woman
@ForWheelen3yrs3Y
I believe marriage as a sacred thing between a man and a woman, but a partner, same sex or otherwise should never be denied end of life decisions, inheritances etc. They should have all the rights a married couple enjoy
@92PZ3CR3yrs3Y
Yes, and take Goverment completely out of marriage
