What was Obergefell v. Hodges about? A ruling that overturned state-level bans/ballot initiatives/laws on gay marriage. It also struck down portions of DOMA (passed by a veto-proof majority of democratically-elected congressmen/senators). Do we run our country by opinion polls coupled with judicial activists or do we run it according to a democratic process? It's not clear anymore.
I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK, our same SCOTUS once defended the owning of slaves in certain cases.
Our values have changed since then. Just like we allow women to vote and we don't lynch blacks or segregate them.
We are not a direct democracy DUMBASS! If you think Iran or China don't have voting, YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!
OUR, and I do mean OUR Constitutional Republic does not favor majorities over minorities or minorities over majorities. Our system is designed as a CONSENT and review, with safety nets so that no one group can gain a monopoly over others. The CONCEPT is what we call CHECKS AND BALANCES.
How the fuck you STUPIDLY think gay sex or gay marriage existing or being legal, is an attack on your rights is FUCKING ABSURD.
If someone were trying to rob you at gunpoint, that is a crime, but other people having money IS NOT. Your right to date the opposite sex or marry the opposite sex IS NOT IN DANGER YOU DUMBASS!
Other people wanting equality isn't a call to oppress you. YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM! GROW THE FUCK UP!
