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.

@8C5N28J5yrs5Y
Yes, all Americans should have the right to marry regardless of sexual orientation.
@Lex6mos6MO
Yes, same-sex marriage should be legal because everyone should have the freedom to marry the person they love. Marriage is about love, commitment, and building a life together. Two people who care for each other should be able to have the same rights
People should be allowed to happily be married, regardless of gender identity. Nobody is being hurt by allowing gay and lesbian couples to get married.
The Bible does not say anything about homosexuality being sinful. The actual line is not "man shall not sleep with boy" which says that pedophilia is wrong, not "man shall not sleep with man."

Expert Gay Marriage Expert Gender Identity
well yes that's going to seem gross to a straight person... as a lesbian myself I also think its gross but I'm not going to stop gay men from sleeping with men if they want to do that.
@B5YTX453mos3MO
I technically don’t consider it “marriage” but I don’t really care. Let people do what they want unless they hurt others.
@B46GR3R6mos6MO
Yes, I support it because everyone is free to do what they want and if they love each other a lot, there is no reason for people of the same sex not to get tired of it.
@9YGN3RS11mos11MO
Take the government and church out of any couple's personal decision. Nobody except themselves should have the right to decide what they want for each other, however, any religious institution should be able to refuse service if they disagree.
@9N28JQC1yr1Y
Make the legal classification be civil union for everyone. All government benefits and rights given to "married" people are now given to those in civil union. Leave marriage to churches only. No legal rights attached to marriage only to civil unions.
@9GNRVFH2yrs2Y
You can love whoever you want just a long as whatever you do is behind closed doors but marriage is between a man and a woman.
@9S98TV91yr1Y
Allow all marriage/civil union officiants the right to not perform ceremonies that are against their own beliefs/consciences.
@9FJT7ZD2yrs2Y
Federal no marriage is between a man and wife but states should have their owe laws and other states have to respect those law.
No, and the government should not give recognition to any homosexual union, or any union which is not a marriage
@99YDLDC2yrs2Y
No, God's blessing is assigned to marriage between a man and women
@96YN7JY3yrs3Y
People deserve their own right but I don’t necessarily agree with it but I can’t push that on others so yes
@96PX2Y73yrs3Y
don't have an opinon on that
@96J54QC3yrs3Y
no do to religious reasons but give no hat towards same sex marriage
@96G8C82Libertarian3yrs3Y
@96B3FFC3yrs3Y
Take the government out of marriage. (Nothing to do with religion)
I could care less what people do its there choice whatever makes them happy.
@968VNQB3yrs3Y
I myself am not allowed to get married with the same sex but you do you so I don't have an opinion on it.
@9665VPS3yrs3Y
Absolutely not, this is a sin
@96657YF3yrs3Y
I don’t care much about it unless it somehow involves me then I don’t.
@9664GXH3yrs3Y
Small government means staying out of people's bedrooms.
@965HDSJ3yrs3Y
Yes but only if the marriage is between the same gender, "not non'binary" weddings because their are only 2 genders.
@95Z6CJ23yrs3Y
I don't support the legalization I think everyone should deserve to be with someone they want to be with.
@95V3M333yrs3Y
No, and the government shouldn't recognize any homosexual unions
@95QJJ5W3yrs3Y
They shouldn't judge people on that
I don't really care unless you are happy but for me, in my opinion, i would go with male and female.
@95JVFTT3yrs3Y
Marry who you want to marry doesn’t matter the sex
@95JHJXCRepublican3yrs3Y
Allow same-sex marriage, but don;t let them force their sex upon others
@95GRCJX3yrs3Y
Yes, and increase funding for programs to educate people on same-sex relationships and promote further acceptance. Increase funding for programs which aim to allow people to take away the mentality that same-sex relationships are against their religions.
@95GFWM73yrs3Y
dont agree with it but dont dissagree
@95GF5V93yrs3Y
personally my religion prohibits it so i do not support, but outside of which i can't judge
@95FX9YB3yrs3Y
That should be the laws choice.
@957QJJ43yrs3Y
i dont really care about stuff like that
@956BR9X3yrs3Y
I personally do not care if you marry the same gender or not I do not judge.
@9562CDD3yrs3Y
i don't really care about whether the same sex or not get married.
@94SS5TY3yrs3Y
No, marriage should be the only legal union of two people recognized by the state and should be defined as the union of one man and one woman
@9496NCS3yrs3Y
Legalize everything except murder
@94567PF3yrs3Y
No, marriage, and all marriage-like unions, should be defined as the union of one man and one woman
@9455B9BConstitution3yrs3Y
No, gays or lesbians or anyone in LGBT community shouldn’t have any rights
@944QG673yrs3Y
Take the government out of marriage period. Remove all government incentives for all marriage, let individuals do what they want and call it whatever they want..
No, marriage should be defined as the union of one man and one woman and there should be no marriage-like unions for same-sex couples
@9443LD93yrs3Y
A Marriage should only be a religious procedure that is not legally binding. A civil union should take its place and should be available to everyone. The government should not be allowed to dictate the doctrine of religious institutions.
@9422HFD3yrs3Y
Me personally I don’t care I’m fine with it but I wouldn’t do it
@92WLC33Republican3yrs3Y
@8X83JWKRepublican4yrs4Y
This should be left to the individual states to decide
@8T7RYLT4yrs4Y
Remove government from decision, civil unions for all, marriage is religious and for a man and woman.
@8P7LV985yrs5Y
The government never should have been involved in marriage in the first place
@8NT72925yrs5Y
Yes, it's no one's business but theirs.
@8NGR29T5yrs5Y
Civil unions are my preference for same sex unions, but I believe they should be afforded the same rights and protections as marriages. Marriage is by definition between one man and one woman and God ordained and created that way.
@8MF47GK5yrs5Y
yes, as long as the people are happy with their decisions
@8JYR6ZS5yrs5Y
Government and church should not be involved in this choice between two people. The legalization of two people who love each other shouldn't be a problem anywhere. It should be legalized and remain that way.
@8JXYXK75yrs5Y
Yes, but marriage should stay being with human beings: male, female, or trans. No objects, places, animals, ect. Only people.
YES! My god what is wrong with you people. Love is love. How f'ing closed-minded and stupid do you have to be to say "It Is AdAm AnD EvE nOt AdAm AnD StEvE,". Like what the heck?! Did you know that quite a lot of animals have homosexual tenancies? Why do you ask? Because it is normalll. Put down the damn bible Debra and learn some science. Fun fact, if two male penguins find an egg by itself they will raise it together! Do you know how cute that is?! I want to be the child of two gay penguins!
@8HCX7LT5yrs5Y
yes but if a church doesn't want to preform it they shouldn't have to
@8GYHKLG5yrs5Y
It's their life, they chose who they want to marry. Not our duty to tell them who they should marry.
@8GGVP6R5yrs5Y
I dont really care but I also don't like it at the same time
@8G39KDT5yrs5Y
Yes, but without the tax breaks of married filing joint without dependents
@8D4PQ6N5yrs5Y
Yes. As long as both people are happy with each other it doesn't matter to me. People should be able to live with who they want as long as the other complies. It's not my decision to make for people to want to marry someone with the same or opposite gender. As long as they're happy with each other I have absolutely no right to interfere.
@8CMG3KH5yrs5Y
Yes. Gender and sexuality are protected under the 1st amendment and equal rights amendment
@9X2495611mos11MO
Yes
@9X2495611mos11MO
PEOPLE CAN BE WHATY THEY WANT TO BE
@9CCRHBF2yrs2Y
No, and there should be form of government recognition of homosexual unions
@9BN2G7PLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, but marriage (whether straight or gay) should be replace by contracts between consenting adults regarding the responsibilities of the care of children and split of their common assets. Religion should not regulate relations between humans in any case.
@99RVB3Z3yrs3Y
I don't support it due to my beliefs. However, it is the individual's choice. Churches should also be allowed the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies due to it possibly conflicting with beliefs.
@99CVK6DRepublican3yrs3Y
No, I used too but the gays went over the line
@9997FF33yrs3Y
I will accept not support
@995R6363yrs3Y
Personally due to religious belief I find it to be unbiblical and therefore I dont think it should happen. But I also think it is the peoples choice on who they marry regardless of their gender therefor I think i should be legal.
@98VSPHX3yrs3Y
@98TRZ9H3yrs3Y
Yes, only because everybody has their own choice.
@98TR8R63yrs3Y
@98S95SZ3yrs3Y
I believe that if you truly love someone of the same sex it should be allowed no question, but forcing it apon young kids as people do even in school should not be allowed.
@98QJ6RWRepublican3yrs3Y
People could do whatever they want but if and when I choose their own path and not being forced to like their same sex in that way.
@98KMZMRWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
i dont support it but u respect it
@98GN5LM3yrs3Y
No, marriage should be the only union recognized by the state and it should be legally and culturally defined as the union of one man and one woman
@98DKJVJ3yrs3Y
I don't mind either one.
Yes, and nobody should be allowed to refuse to marry samensex couples
@988HCP53yrs3Y
No because it is not right
@9886NCN3yrs3Y
I support it but only with limits because if everybody becomes gay or lesbian how do humans still exist if we don’t make kids
I do not care. It is their choice if they want to marry a woman or a man but they will regret it when they die.
@97YJL473yrs3Y
No, same-sex "marriage" weakens the institution of marriage and undermines the family unit; it must be defined as the union of one man and one woman
I don't really care, I am Muslim so it goes against my religion, but I don't really mind or care.
No, marriage should be legally and culturally defined as the union of one man and one woman, and no form of homosexual civil union or other contract should be recognized
@97LG4WB3yrs3Y
I don’t support it but people should be allowed to follow their own beliefs. So it can be legalized.
@97DHGDM3yrs3Y
Yes I think this should totally be allowed and that any kind of church shouldn’t refuse to marry people of the same sex. Love is love and we shouldn’t let religion or homophobic people get in the way of that.
@97CV5JMRepublican3yrs3Y
No, the person can decide to choose who they love, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
@97CT3C73yrs3Y
I don't think people should because we need to populate or else our species will die out.
@97CSXH43yrs3Y
God made you to date girls if you a boy and he made you to date a boy if you a girl.
@976ZQKMRepublican3yrs3Y
They should get the electric chair.
@977GKP43yrs3Y
I dont support it but if someone wants to get married to the same sex then thats them I dont really care
@976PNYL3yrs3Y
I feel that I would care enough quite frankly but for me, I just doesn't sit right with me but I would support it, I just wouldn't be someone to do it though.
@974NR4D3yrs3Y
Remove government from marriage entirely; it is a personal decision, the government should not have a say.
