This week should bring two significant Supreme Court decisions on the matter of same sex marriage, in the cases of Hollingsworth v. Perry (the California Proposition 8 case) and theUnited States v. Windsor (the DOMA issue). It would be a shame for the Court to hand down any sweeping ruling on the issues involved. Just like it did in Roe and Doe, the Court could stop the conversation, halting the ability of voices to be heard and for this to play out in a representative political sphere.
Representative politics ought to represent, and the people and their representatives should decide what marriage is, and whether they wish to change their minds on it, not the Court.

Freedom from oppressive religion.
ReplyDeleteIf your religion revolves around same sex marriage there is a problem. Great fund raiser for some churches, beware those filling their coffers of this loser.
ReplyDeleteReligious Liberty DOES NOT MEAN you get to impose your religious perspective on the public, there fore stepping on other peoples liberties. It means if your religion says don't be gay, then you can do that... but you can't use your religion to tell others they can't be gay, or enjoy the freedoms and liberties that we all enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAnd lets be honest, if you really think that you should be allowed to force your religion upon people, force them to participate in prayers, force them to see your iconography on public land... at least have the common decency to quit lying about caring about "liberty". You really want a theocratic society based on your particular brand of your religion.
