But I found it ludicrous to think that the law simply couldn't handle allowing same sex marriage without screwing up loads of other stuff. If the law was that fragile and useless, I don't know how any changes in it would ever get made.
Changes are not made as commonly as one believes. Unfortunately those who are so happy about Obergefell V. Hodges will stop paying attention to the repercussions of the ruling. So they will go on feeling the ruling did not hurt anyone or cause tons of problem in the law (beyond the occassional news article they may see). Those of us studying and practice law will have to try and workout all of the issues created by the ruling. If we cannot the Supreme Court will have to overturn the ruling as it has had to do on numerous occassions.

People can say they know more than the Supreme Court if they want, but there's no point bullying a know-nothing like me to prove that point. Go take it up with them! It's the law now. It's also the obviously correct choice for anyone who isn't in the business of discriminating against gays.
Obviously? So you do have an argument in their favor that is not based on a fallacy? Well let's hear it!! I have been waiting for one.

-Fear
-Being gay yourself and feeling the need to "prove otherwise" by hating gays
-Religious/bigoted brainwashing
Ha ha!! So then are you equally sorry for the hateful exists you have in carrying around all that vitriol against theists? Does it come from fear, being theist yourself, or social brainwashing?

I feel not the slightest hint of any of this hatred towards gays. That doesn't mean I'm gay, although I wouldn't care if I was. They are simply people. These homophobes would feel much better if they would let this hate go, I'm sure. It can't be healthy. The idea of two people of the same gender in love is as beautiful to me as two of the opposite gender. The differences are inconsequential.
To paraphrase Thena:

Why can't you understand that no one gives a shit about your nonsense (religious) beliefs or what personally disgusts you?
Ha ha.
