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.

@9T64CXP1yr1Y
No, and we should recognize religious marriages as a legitimate form of marriage instead of civil marriage.
@9D4ZPFY2yrs2Y
No, but we should abolish legal marriages and legitimatize religious marriages.
@B55GLVN5mos5MO
Take the government out of marriage and make it a consensual decision between the people getting married.
@9F8TV4Y2yrs2Y
Everyone makes their life what they want.
@9DDHKSZ2yrs2Y
No, because we should abolish legal marriages and recognize only religious marriages.
@9D5XBHH2yrs2Y
No, because marriages is between a man and a woman and also we should abolish legal marriages and start to recognize religious marriages.
@B628MY7Libertarian2mos2MO
Yes, because what someone does with their personal life should not be my concern or control when it comes to whom they choose to lay with as long as its a mutual love.
@B4FCJW4Republican6mos6MO
No, make it federally illegal!! This is like asking "Should pedophilia be legal?", absolutely not!! That is revoking innocent children's innocence, law and order, and is a huge disrespect towards the age gap and the age of consent. Any perverted attraction should be immediately addressed by mental health figures because we cannot control who we are attracted to. What we can do is act on it and choose whether or not to overcome it. Also, God intended for there to be a nuclear family: a man and a woman.
@B4D6KHP6mos6MO
No, I do not. In fact, I support FEDERALLY outlawing it!! The reason why is because it is a perverted attraction. This is basically like asking "Should pedophilia be legal?" Absolutely not!! That is an mockery of the age gap and the age of consent!! That is taking away the poor young kids' innocence! I understand that people to some measures have no control over who they are attracted to. Which is why for any perverted abnormal attraction whether it is pedophilia, les, gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual, etc., anyone experiencing it should go seek some serious help from therapy. Because attraction itself we cannot control, but we can overcome it and not act on it. Also, God intended for there to be a nuclear family: A man and a woman!!
@B4D2S2Z6mos6MO
I Believe that people have the free-will to choose what they want in life. Sometimes it leads to consequences and sometimes it leads to good-things.
@B3ZYM5D6mos6MO
For the sake of freedom, checks and balances, federalism, and weak government, I believe that they should not be outlawed; at the same time, I STRONGLY oppose homosexual marriages because God intended for there to be a man and a woman married together; once again, I respect the fact that individuals who are LGBTQ cannot control that, what I do not agree with, but at the same time am indifferent about is choosing to act on their urges and not overcome it; I would not outlaw it, instead, I would encourage LGBTQ folks to seek mental help and therapy
@B3ZKJBVIndependent6mos6MO
Yes, and I feel that anyone should have the right to get married to anyone they want, and the government certainly shouldn't be able to stop them.
@B3T3SC76mos6MO
Yes, anyone should have the right to marry whoever they choose and the government should not have the right to tell people otherwise
@B3RT6YQ 6mos6MO
I do not care who anyone marries; I just don't want the topic of LGBTQ+ thrown into my face every day. Just because you like different people or consider yourself another gender, it does not mean I care about your decision. I'm worried about my life and how it is affecting my future family and the teachings I stand on. I think it is inappropriate to have LGBTQ+ glorified like it is anywhere you go. I should be able to tell my kids what these topics mean on my timeline, not the world. I do support same-sex marriages and am not opposed to this community, as long as every person is res… Read more
@B3CBWPL7mos7MO
I think we should just let them do them because is it really your business what they like or don't like.
@9VR9RWW11mos11MO
The government does not have the right to oppose the sexual orientation of anyone. A wedding is a bond between two individuals who want to spend the rest of their lives with each other, it’s a promise. Nothing is there that says a wedding HAS to be a marriage between people who identify as “male” and “female”.
@9RXM79Q1yr1Y
You can’t take it away now, but call it civil union and let the churches, mosques and synagogues do what they need to do without govt interfere
@9RWP73Z1yr1Y
while i may not do it myself , it doesnt necessarily affect my everyday life therefore does not bother me
@9RLNRZ41yr1Y
Yes, but allow churches to refuse same-sex marriages, and take the government out of marriage and make it a religious decision.
@7KGLYFL 1yr1Y
The government should not recognize religious marriages, only civil unions. Government should only care about the contract and allow heterosexuals & homosexuals to enter into civil unions.
@9NG26QW1yr1Y
No, and we should abolish civil marriages and reestablish religious marriages as a legitimate form of marriage.
@9NFZ4WQ1yr1Y
Yes! but I would prefer the state recognize no "marriages", only civil unions. Marriage should not be an affair of the state.
@9MNG4VT1yr1Y
Honestly I don't really have an opinion on the matter marry who ever you want to marry I guess as long as they are of legal age and not being forced too.
@9KTKF3QLibertarian2yrs2Y
As a Gay Man, Obviously Yes I Agree; it's my and others right to marry regardless of who we marry, the fact that a lot of states are still stuck in the 1700s legally is appalling and sad.
@9G487PK2yrs2Y
Yes because marriage is and should be between two consenting adults who want it, despite who or what gender the two people are.
@9DZWP6H 2yrs2Y
It is ultimately up to the consenting adults, the government should not be able to decide who you can and can't love.
@9DXKTY22yrs2Y
No, and we should abolish legal marriages and legitimatize religious marriages.
@9DRHX76 2yrs2Y
"Marriage" is a religiously-derived construct; however, the desire between consenting adults of any identity or demographic regardless of gender or orientation to join in a legal union for tax/medical/legal benefit purposes should not be denied, and neither should the desire to exit or dissolve any such associations
@99SGDXXIndependent3yrs3Y
@B35SWWK 7mos7MO
You can date but marriage shouldn't be an option.
Personally as a Christian, I will always bring religion into this. The bible very clearly states that a romantic relationship should be between a man and a woman. My beliefs will always align with the bible. So therefore I do not think that same-sex marriage should not be legalized nor should relationships.
@9W9F4B911mos11MO
Yes, but allow private churches the option to refuse same-sex ceremonies, because you cant force anyone do accept it, also it could cause unfair and discriminatory treatment.
@9W8WJ6JIndependent11mos11MO
as said before; personally I disagree, but humans have the god-given right to marriage, regardless if it's considered a sinful wedding.
@9DZSN4Z2yrs2Y
No, same sex marriage is literally impossible, as marriage IS between a man and a woman
@93MZBRZ3yrs3Y
If two people love one another and want to spend their life with one another that is none of my business. I could care less.
@93MMSML3yrs3Y
No, but leave it up to the states to decide .
@93KYL2L3yrs3Y
They should be able to LOVE AND MARRY who they love, with out outsiders in their business. This world is not run by religion but by Free will of the people!
@8ZRCRS94yrs4Y
No, but this should be determined at the state and local level
@99WP6CKIndependent2yrs2Y
I don't think thats the reason that god put us in this world i think he put us in here for a girl to date a boy/guy not the same gender i think it should be the same way for males.
@VulcanMan6 2yrs2Y
We aren't a theocracy; the law doesn't care what your god thinks. You literally said this about vaccinations: "I think this should be there own choice because some people don't believe in it", and yet you can't apply that to your own religious takes..?
@9BPD3NX2yrs2Y
No; marriage is defined by God, not the government, as between one man and one woman; sodomite make-believe relationships should never be recognized or dignified as anything other than an offense against God and the natural order.
@99YZQ9Z2yrs2Y
I don't think the government should be involved. Gay people should be allowed to marry as they are people just like straight people. It should be equal regardless of who someone prefers as there partner.
I think that everyone should be able to love and marry anyone they want, despite the gender.
@99Q6MPQ3yrs3Y
As long as all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
@99N44GD3yrs3Y
Same-sex marriage should be kept legal, but no one should be able to force a church minister or other devoutly religious leader who does marriages to marry a gay couple, since there are plenty of options for gay couples to get court documentation.
@96P7Z5D3yrs3Y
everyone should be able to love who they love as long as it is not illegal
@96NXY3B3yrs3Y
HELL NO Adam and eve, not Adam and "Steve"
@96NTLZC3yrs3Y
Why is marriage even a governmental issue?
@96NR7GPWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
@96MVKGY3yrs3Y
I don't support it but I am also not against it
@96MKK6X3yrs3Y
The question is not relevant to me, but I don't think it should be removed. It just doesn't affect me, so I wouldn't put my two cents into something that doesn't apply to me.
@96M9QCN3yrs3Y
do what you do idrc none of my business.
@96LG2PZ3yrs3Y
I personally stand for banning marriage all together, but gay people should be able to marry
@96L3CJZ3yrs3Y
You should be able to marry who you want to marry, and have kids with whoever you want.
@96KLLSB3yrs3Y
It does not affect my life in any way, and I have no right make that decision for someone else.
@96JPZDQ3yrs3Y
No marriage just besties for life
@96HBDDV3yrs3Y
Marriage should be between a man and a women, but it shouldn't be illegal for it to be done.
@96H3Z9Z3yrs3Y
@96GN5ZM3yrs3Y
let them do whatever not my problem
@96FC4KD3yrs3Y
I do support it but I am not one of those type of people.
@96DD4Q43yrs3Y
I don’t really have a say honestly as long as you’re with someone who will make you happy
@96D8SKW3yrs3Y
depends on the people they should do what they want about same-sex marriage
@96BRPKR3yrs3Y
It doesn't really matte to me
@96BQDNH3yrs3Y
I don’t usually Care about peoples sexual preferences
@96BBNTP3yrs3Y
the government shouldn’t have a say on who should be a able to get married
@969DM353yrs3Y
Yes, but I do not believe in same-sex adoption.
@968X45H3yrs3Y
If each individual agrees to it, let it be
@9683HQQ3yrs3Y
As a Christian, I just want them to love Jesus.
@967X2ZH3yrs3Y
I chose not to answer this question
@966TQ6Z3yrs3Y
People should do what they want to do. At the end, it's their business.
@96675NM3yrs3Y
yes, you love who you love and just because other people do not agree does not mean a thing . Its 2022 for crying out loud.
@965K33X3yrs3Y
I think it all depends, but if that's what two people want then it's their choice
@964ZTRS3yrs3Y
it doesn't matter to me if you're happy.
@95Z26VR3yrs3Y
I believe any sex can get married and people should just accept that.
@95XZX2J3yrs3Y
The government has no right to interfere with marriage. Someone should be allowed to marry who ever they want; marriage is none of the governments business.
@95X666J3yrs3Y
No, in my religion it is sin, but we will not discriminate nor look down on people for it. We will continue to love everyone no matter what.
@95X3WXVRepublican3yrs3Y
You love who you love but don't force you're opinions/ideas on other people
@95WYV8J3yrs3Y
It really doesn't matter to me, none of my busniess
@95TWZKZRepublican3yrs3Y
No, we need to exile them and homosualality should be banned.
@95STMXHIndependent3yrs3Y
@95QTDJR3yrs3Y
Love is love, Marriage should be between two loved ones no matter m/m w/w or m/w
@95Q28VTLibertarian3yrs3Y
Yes, I believe that people should be able to marry whomever they want, and while I don't believe it it wright, I think they should have their choice.
@95PNHTC3yrs3Y
Yes, Everyone has a natural born right to love who they love and the law needs to be permanent along with Racial laws for minorities, to support them.
@95PM64Z3yrs3Y
Doesn't bother me, but it's strange
@95P3X3D3yrs3Y
Yes, other people allowed to do what they want and love who they want, if no one is being hurt by their actions
@95P2YWR3yrs3Y
I think sex has nothing to do with it. If you love somebody and you want to marry them you can do so anywhere you please. LGBTQ 4L !!
@95N95BF3yrs3Y
I find it as a personal decision a person has to make in certain situations.
@95MFSYX3yrs3Y
yes but not my lifestyle
@95M66K23yrs3Y
Yes , its not up to the governement to tell people who they can marry and who they cannot marry
@95JGFXT3yrs3Y
No, I do not support the legalization of same sex marriage, and i dont support it because in the bible it does not say anywhere that you are supposed to marry a man if you are a man, it even says that a man is supposed to marry a woman and make a family, so if you marry a man you will most likely go to hell because it is a sin.
@95HJQ3X3yrs3Y
Yes, people have the right to marry who they want no matter what gender
@95HCKKJ3yrs3Y
yes, but everyone should have a choice to marry who they want
@95H85VG3yrs3Y
Yes, I think everyone should be what they want to be
@95F4XZ73yrs3Y
I don't agree with same-sex marriage however it should be legal.
@95B54YFRepublican3yrs3Y
The government should not have an influence on your personal decisions
