26. kesäkuuta 2015 Yhdysvaltain korkein oikeus katsoi, että kieltäminen avioliiton lisenssien rikkoi Due Process ja yhtäläinen suoja lausekkeet neljästoista muutos Yhdysvaltojen perustuslain. Tuomio teki samaa sukupuolta olevien avioliitto laillista kaikissa 50 Yhdysvaltojen.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Kuinka tärkeää sinulle on yhtäläisten oikeuksien ja henkilökohtaisten vapauksien kannalta, että kaikilla pareilla on sukupuolesta riippumatta oikeus solmia avioliitto?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Jos ystävän tai perheenjäsenen samaa sukupuolta olevien avioliitto ei vaikuttaisi suoraan elämääsi, vastustaisitko sitä ja millä perusteilla?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Miksi luulet, että joidenkin ihmisten avioliittooikeudet vaikuttavat syvästi toisten, joita he eivät henkilökohtaisesti tunne?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Muuttaako avioliiton laillisuus kahden ihmisen välisen rakkauden ja sitoutumisen arvoa?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Mitä tasa-arvo avioliitossa merkitsee sinulle, ja miksi siitä on mielestäsi tullut niin keskeinen kysymys yhteiskunnassa?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Miten minkä tahansa rakastavan suhteen oikeudellinen vahvistaminen vaikuttaa yhteisöjemme sosiaaliseen rakenteen?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Pitäisikö hallituksen olla sananvaltaa siihen, kuka saa mennä naimisiin kenen kanssa, vai onko se henkilökohtainen vapaus?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Voiko kahden aikuisen välisen rakkauden tunnustaminen vaikuttaa henkilökohtaiseen elämääsi? jos on, niin miten?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Kuvittele, että löydät täydellisen kumppanisi, mutta yhteiskunnan säännöt estävät sinua menemästä naimisiin; mitä tunteita se herättää?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Miltä sinusta tuntuisi, jos et saisi mennä naimisiin rakastamasi ihmisen kanssa lain perusteella?
@2J3ZBRJ4v4Y
No form of government should have any involvement in marriage.
@2J3YKT44v4Y
The marriage laws should be "equal" to traditional marriages and divorce decrements which include court decisions such as alimony, fornication, etc.
@2J3WQZQ4v4Y
Explain to me, other than someone making a buck, why you need a religious ceremony and a law to validate how you feel about someone.
@2J3W9CL4v4Y
As long as it's named something else! We call a man a man and a woman a woman so that we know the difference, since marriage is traditionally defined as a man and woman so same sex unions should be defined by a word that describes that! Give them the same rights, benefits, and consequences.
@2J3PGFK4v4Y
Who the hell cares. Why don't we talk about the economy instead???
@2J38PTZ4v4Y
Yes, but marriages are hetero-normative and perpetuate sexism and homophobia.
No, allow civil unions and increase what civil unions mean and rights within civil unions. Marriage by definition is between man and women because there is a natural way to create offspring, however difficult or easy that may be for each individual marriage. Churches should always remain separate from government, which means they are to be allowed to refuse marriages per their choice. They currently do that with traditional man and women marriages when they feel there is not enough preparation among other reasons. So that should be continued, a church is a following of people not just a building to be admired.
For me marriage has to do with my faith. I think the Government should stay out of marriage and provide family benefits in place of marriage benefits. For someone to be denied access to their loved ones because they are not married is wrong.
@2J2NDXF4v4Y
Marriage should be a solely religious ceremony and non-religious people should not be married, but have a civil union and a church should have the right to marry, or deny marriage, to whom they choose.
@2J2BZ5N4v4Y
The government has absolutely no business telling anyone who they should or should not marry.
That is legislating someones religious views, and is absolutely contrary to the separation of church and state, as well as an infringement on individual rights.
@2J26NMK4v4Y
Yes- but do not force a church to offer license. Patrons are free to choose churches to hold ceremony as they please. Also, condemn the use of artificial insemination for same sex couples. Children have an inherent right to have a father and mother care for them.
@2J26JM64v4Y
Yes, it's wrong, and no it's not. It's not right for people to bash it constantly when they say it's a sin in the bible. There are thousands of sins but they continue to only bash this particular one. Then LGBT we get it equal rights, but you can't shove this down other people's throats, the hardcore Christians aren't going to accept unless you show the many standpoints not just have pride days and celebrations. Both sides are wrong, but both are right, so I'm a both
@2HZFBC44v4Y
Each state should be able to make their own choice. For example, it is fine if Alabama bans it, while New York makes it legal.
@2HZCG2K4v4Y
I do not support it because I am a Christian, but for the same reason I do not and will not keep anyone from having a same sex marriage. It would be wrong for me to hate someone for it. I do not agree with it, however.
@2HZC2CW4v4Y
From a governmental stand point the term marriage should be changed to civil union for all couples. The term marriage is a religious invention anyway.
@2HZ3PTV4v4Y
Yes, but I still feel a bit uneasy about this as small children may be exposed to public displays affection within the same sex, which I do not feel is natural, but understand, this is something you are born with. However, as the years pass, this will be considered 'normal' and this issue will be a thing of the past.
@2HYY4C64v4Y
Marriage should be abolished - replaced with limited term co-habitation contracts
@2HYX3LP4v4Y
Yes but call it something else to alleviate the fears of the religious nuts. I couldn't care less what others do in regard to their marriages and it does not threaten mine.
@2HYSG5P4v4Y
Marriage was created to safeguard the human race, i.e. protect women and children. In the U.S. and other parts of the world it is used to control permissions and freedoms, i.e. taxes, property, and medical decisions. Therefore, marriage should not be religious or based on sex. It is a legal status therefore it should be based upon two people who decide they want to enter a legal relationship.
@2HYKBJH4v4Y
Yes, it's not my right to say if someone could marry someone else that they love, regardless of sexual orientation.
@2HYC6C84v4Y
Don't care, just don't be all up in my face about it and broadcast it everywhere. Just do what you want and go about your business.
@NB23F54v4Y
They may get married but only receive "marriage" benefits if they have children.
@N946VJ4v4Y
I couldn't care who marries whom, or what. All I ask is that if a gay couple get married, that they call it gay married to substantiate the difference. That way, if I say I am married, the person asking knows I am married to a woman. If I said I was gay married, they would know my partner was a male. That is all I would ask for. Fair enough.
@N828FM4v4Y
Civil Unions for same-sex couples and heterosexual couples. Marriage is a religious sacrament. Separation of Church and State is well documented. The State should not be allowed to name one of its numerous licenses after a Christian sacrament. The Church is allowed to dictate who it will and will not provide a marriage ceremony. This should solve the whole thing. It's semantics.
@N4GVS74v4Y
It shouldn't be called "marriage" because marriage from the very beginning was between a man and a woman. They should call it something else and they should be allowed to be together.
@N2P4J54v4Y
For a workers party. For a workers government. For the right of gay, lesbian, bisexual, & transgender marriage - and divorce! For full democratic rights for GBLT people. Defend the 1st Amendment Jeffersonian-Madisonian separation of religion & state, including 1st & 14th Amendment equality before the law for GBLT people. For the 2nd Amendment right of armed self-defense by GBLT people against bigoted terrorism. For the arming of GBLT people in self-defense against bigoted terrorism.
@MSJG3Z4v4Y
Individual decision, does not need a master to grant permission.
@MB9WMR4v4Y
Call it a partnershjp, and give them rights - but DON'T call it marriage!
@MB7LK44v4Y
It's not the role of government to define the term "marriage" for the people and their religions. There is no valid reason for the state to be involved in, or to regulate, adult consensual relationships that don't involve procreation. But it should have nothing to do with "banning" or refusing to allow anyone to define their relationship and the term they choose for it, however they, and their religion, defines it.
@M9QS3W4v4Y
Clergy should not act as agents of the state in witnessing marriages. All unions gay and straight should be civil. If the couple wishes to have a religious ceremony subsequently then they can do so according to the rules of their house of worship.
@M9QBLM4v4Y
Marriage should be seperated from the ritual, churches should not be required to marry everyone but, I believe it is financially a better decision to be inclusive of multiple no traditional types of relationships for marriages
@M9LP8R4v4Y
I think that all marriages should be called marriages, but the churches could have sacremental marriages.
@M98THR4v4Y
yes, Government has no business in this matter
@M87S2T4v4Y
I don't need the state to sanction marriage. It's a religious institution.
@M84PP84v4Y
Government should not be involved with this.
@M65JNB4v4Y
Why is the government allowed to define relationships?
@M5ZSRY4v4Y
Let the individuals, families, and churches to decide. Not the Federal government.
@M58RHB4v4Y
I don't believe marriage as long as divorce is legal. The decision to remain committed to another is a second by second decision and the glamorization of marriage has corrupted youth to unrealistic expectations of married life. religion, and the law have failed to prove marriage as necessary or a natural phenomena. no legal perks should be given to those who decided to make this oath.
@M2PSK84v4Y
Separate the religious and civil aspects of marriage. The government recognizes civil unions for all couples, gay or straight, then let the churches decide which ones they will recognize.
@LZPPCV4v4Y
Everyone gets a civil union, marriage can be done as a religious ceremony and each religion can decide who it will grant the rite to.
