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.

Yes. Marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, but we should still accept people and treat them with respect.
@9WGRNTR11mos11MO
Yes but...
I believe in same sex marriage and should be honored by the state and church regardless of their personal beliefs, but I think that its best to remove marriage altogether from the state and church control.
Yes, some churches do same sex marriage. Once again not your life so don't try putting your opinion on someone else's life. I will walk away and pretend I heard of nothing and saw nothing if it doesn't involve me. \
@9X7QGT211mos11MO
Yes, I respect people's right to exercise their personal freedom and marry who they love. However, I do not personally agree or believe in that lifestyle.
@9N8MT4F 1yr1Y
Yes, but the federal government should not be spending taxpayer money related to this. Any two consenting adults should have the right to marry
@9RRRNQ21yr1Y
Yes, but the federal government should not spend taxpayer money on this. Any two consenting adults should have the right to marry.
Gay people are humans too and deserve to be married. A business does not have to serve them but they deserve the right to live like straight people.
@9D4QSCN2yrs2Y
Only if you allow other types of marriages like marring more than one person at a time.
@9SKCTVM1yr1Y
Allow churches the right to refuse, and change the wording to a government union due to the religious correlation with the word marriage being a three way vow.
Yes, but the government and religious institutions should both ideally be taken out of marriage altogether.
@8C83BZL5yrs5Y
I do not personally agree with it but I will support it Fully
@98PN4VH3yrs3Y
No, because God is the only one who created and defined marriage. He defined it as a union between a man and a woman. Homosexuality is a choice. I think if two people want to pay for various benefits e.g., health benefits then they should be allowed but don't put that decision in the confines of marriage.
@VulcanMan6 3yrs3Y
Marriage existed long before any Abrahamic religion; also, we don't (shouldn't) base our laws off of any religion, so that's irrelevant...
@9BZ53RLIndependent2yrs2Y
same-sex marriage should be allowed as long as they do not force their beliefs on anyone else.
@98MG2CP3yrs3Y
Yes even though I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman and allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.
@96NSHWQ3yrs3Y
its not me so why should i have a say on what he or she does or do with their partner.
@96MYH6S3yrs3Y
I think it really depends on the person for who they want to be and it is really non of our business to get involved in.
@96LFN2L3yrs3Y
State should decide; religious freedom
@96KRLDC3yrs3Y
I don't believe in same-sex marriages. However, you do what you want to do at the end of the day. It shouldn't matter what others have to say. If that is what you prefer then that's you.
@96JB5S43yrs3Y
I dont have an opinion on this
I don't but i'm not against it.
@96FBXPK3yrs3Y
This is iffy becuase if the couple is christian then they can't get married under a church becuase its not okay in the eyes of god
@96F8D4KWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y
Yes, it is not bothering anyone who someone chooses to marry, if people have a problem with it, that's their problem.
Yes, Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision.
@964PT4X3yrs3Y
That's none of my business, but I also feel like people should live their lives however they want to.
@964NNN43yrs3Y
They should allow someone to have the right to marry who they want
@962LQ9JRepublican3yrs3Y
I don't support same sex marriage so I would say no
@95QTFJN3yrs3Y
I don't believe it matters
@95QN8B43yrs3Y
Although as a Christian I don’t “support” same sex marriage, we can’t make things illegal that are not harmful to ourselves or others.
@95QCBSD3yrs3Y
i do not support it but i don't condom it either.
@95PGL3F3yrs3Y
As long as they're happy and not bothering/causing problems then I'm okay with it
@95NDDX63yrs3Y
it's their choice if they want to marry the same sex no one hurt or injured in any way so this should be up to the people if they want to marry the same sex
@95NC3KS3yrs3Y
dont really care let them do what they want as long as it doesnt effect me
@95N9XX83yrs3Y
If thats what they want let that happen i dont judge their preferences
@95D5Z7JIndependent3yrs3Y
I do not care either way. Why should it be so important to others who you marry?
@959LH9J3yrs3Y
Love is love and i dont think anyone has the right to tell someone who they can and cannot love
@954MWZQ3yrs3Y
It should be up to the people in the same sex relationship whether they get married or not and its really no body else's business
@94WRH4P3yrs3Y
Yes, I don't mind it but I don't fully agree on it.
@94RQVXH3yrs3Y
im cool with it because you cant help who you love
@94QFGZW3yrs3Y
This topic is to sensitive to other people to speak on
@94KKL8B3yrs3Y
Yes, sexual orientation shouldn't be regulated by the government.
@94CCCRF3yrs3Y
I think we should do away with marriage.
@94BYNDLIndependent3yrs3Y

@94BP97MLibertarian3yrs3Y
Yes, and the government should not have a role in any marriage
@948DVG4Republican3yrs3Y
No, civil unions are much more appropriate considering marriage is between a man and woman
@948D6Z93yrs3Y
Yes, but ot an extent its ok if they act themselves but if they act like something they aren't then they've lost my respect.
@93HSCFS3yrs3Y
Yes, but take both the government and religious institutions out of marriage and instead make it a personal matter
@92V54HB3yrs3Y
yes i don't really care.
@92TXFRQ3yrs3Y

@92QVF5X3yrs3Y
people should do what they want with there life.
@8N7QKSY5yrs5Y
Yes, people should be able to marry whoever they want regardless of gender who they want to be with is NOT the governments business!
@8LKZYW95yrs5Y
The government nor religious group has the right to say who can and who cannot get married.
@8KYD5QR5yrs5Y
I also support the legalization of transgender marriage
@8KV83FBIndependent5yrs5Y
I don’t support it but people should have the free will to buy into it if they want because it should be their choice
@jayciebreen7045yrs5Y
yes, who someone loves and wants to be with should not be a political matter.
@8JXJ49B5yrs5Y
Yes that is a religious ceremony so the government shouldn't be involved but the tax break should still exist.
@8JT4R275yrs5Y
Yes, but take the government out of marriage and instead consider it a voluntary union between individuals.
@8JG38LT5yrs5Y
I do not support it but if they want to do it let them.
@8FMLK5B5yrs5Y
It doesn't matter to me I try to stay out of things like this

No but let people do what they want
@99KMJK63yrs3Y

@99HXN4D3yrs3Y
As long as you don't force it on me that you are gay, you can do whatever you want.
@99H9TV8Republican3yrs3Y
I do not really care about this. People can marry who they want.
@99H4GXR3yrs3Y
No, I don't really support it. Although what others do is none of my buisness.
@99H4GS93yrs3Y
Indifferent, do whatever you want and don't involve me in it
@999CRPY3yrs3Y
I don't but have no negative judgement towards it
@998MGT83yrs3Y
No it is stupid it should not be allowed anywhere in the world today. You should not be able to adopt a baby if you are married to the same sex
@9982XYM3yrs3Y
what you do is what you do. i know i am not like but whatever you decide
@997XPQ73yrs3Y

@98XT7HH3yrs3Y
No but it doesn’t really bother me if it’s legal or not.
@98V3VYZRepublican3yrs3Y
I don't support it, but to maintain equality, it should be legal however, churches should hold the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.
@98QYMD9Women’s Equality3yrs3Y
I support it but i would never do it
@98Q3FSMRepublican3yrs3Y
No, because God is the one who created and established the definition of marriage. He stated marriage is between a man and a women. However, if people want to establish a civil union and share benefits e.g., healthcare coverage then, it's their choice but don't label it marriage.
@98NP5Z33yrs3Y
Yes even though I do believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman and churches have the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.
@98M5NZZ3yrs3Y
Yes even though marriage should be between a man and a woman (my opinion) and allow Church’s the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

@98BB2653yrs3Y
call it whatever but really just a civil union. churches, preachers should be allowed to not recognize
@988DRWJ3yrs3Y
i support freedom and if thats what an individual wants thats what they should have the right to do
@9888KD93yrs3Y
again we are supposed to be a free country and people come to America to be able to do this. I think we shouldn't be telling people who they can or can't love because why is it any of our business and why do we even care, we as humans are supposed to love all so why don't we ?
@987K8FQ3yrs3Y
I don't support them but I still love them unconditionally.
