Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?

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.

Take the government AND religious decisions out of marriage and just let it be a decision between people

 @9557GPFProgressive from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Don’t support but don’t care

 @9HRGWZQProgressive from Vermont  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but I don’t believe the government can force churches to wed couples they don’t want to, regardless of sexual preference

 @8STR33MProgressive from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

 @95RVC9MProgressive from Oregon  answered…3yrs3Y

Remove marriage from the us code, grant all of it’s rights and privileges to civil unions, so marriage is a purely religious construct.

 @95RJLF5Progressive from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as marriage is a federally recognized social institution, religion has no place making regulations regarding it

 @95JGDW4Progressive from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

I think if you want to marry someone, it shouldn't be illegal. You should be able to choose your spouse, and the government shouldn't interfere.

 @956QGTSProgressive from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, the government has no right to decide who can and cannot be married

 @949SCGFProgressive from Alabama  answered…3yrs3Y

To me it doesn't matter if the same sex marriage its there choice and it doesn't effect anyway

 @939VTTDProgressive from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes. The government should not have the right to make a choice based on religious beliefs.

 @8SS5XXHProgressivefrom Guam  answered…4yrs4Y

No ,We should murder people who want to do that

 @8LW87M8Progressive from California  answered…5yrs5Y

The construct of "same" and "sex" needs to be eliminated from our vocabulary. Marriage is an antiquated notion based in ownership and property. The confluence of two human beings should be stripped of legal aspects. This means revising tax codes, legal statutes and all laws governing marraige. We need to liberate the definition of marriage.

 @99238PYProgressive from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

Your choice is your choice i just dont support it

 @98ZRGNQProgressive from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

I am neither completely for or against the concept

Everyone do as they please, it's not my business

 @97KFFJCProgressive from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

Same Sex marriage should absolutely be allowed to matter what. The LGBTQ community has the same right to marriage and happiness as any heterosexual couple.

 @97JPFFTProgressive from Nevada  answered…3yrs3Y

Donald Trump nominates Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General

Former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General of the United States, should he reclaim the presidency in the upcoming election.Bondi, a prominent figure in Republican politics, served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She gained national attention for her legal battles on issues such as health care reform, consumer protection, and opioid abuse litigation. Known for her steadfast support of Trump during his presidency, Bondi also served as a key adviser during his first impeachment trial, where she defended his administration against accusations of abuse of power.In a statement released by his campaign, Trump praised Bondi’s “unwavering commitment to justice” and her “track record of standing up for everyday Americans against the abuses of Washington’s elites.”“Pam Bondi has been a fearless advocate for the people, and she embodies the principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law that are sorely needed to restore trust in our justice system,” Trump said. “She is the right person to lead the Department of Justice into a new era of integrity and excellence.”While Bondi’s nomination has been met with applause from conservative circles, it has also reignited criticism from Democrats and ethics watchdogs. Her acceptance of a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation in 2013, which coincided with her decision not to pursue an investigation into Trump University, has drawn scrutiny in the past and resurfaced following the announcement.Democratic leaders have already voiced opposition, questioning Bondi’s ability to lead the Department of Justice independently. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called the nomination “a political power play” and urged a focus on “restoring integrity, not entrenching partisanship.”

The data says the US economy is strong. Swing-state voters disagree.

The US labour market has remained strong even while inflation has plunged from its 2022 peak. In September, the unemployment rate fell back to 4.1 per cent — higher than last year but still historically low. Even so, some warning signs have flashed for the economy. The number of Americans pursuing a second job is rising. So is the number of people unemployed for 15 weeks or longer. Credit card delinquencies are up, as people burn through cash handed out by the government during the pandemic. “People don’t feel as secure now,” said Paul Isely, an economics professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. “Even if lots of other markers in their life are better off, they know that they are consuming past their means, whereas before it was hidden by the fact that they had these excess savings.”Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles. Copying articles to share with others is a breach of“Here’s the problem: inflation is the rate of increase and [that] has slowed, but the public’s focus is on the absolute price,” the president of Western Michigan University said. “It takes a lot for the price level to come down. That would be a recession and deflation, so it’s not quite clear you really want that.”For residents in the state’s most populous area — spanning Detroit, Warren and Dearborn — everyday costs are now much higher and still rising. Inflation jumped to almost 10 per cent in 2022 and was still above 3 per cent as of August, according to federal data.That has left housing-related expenses up 36 per cent since Biden entered office. Petrol is more expensive than under Trump. Grocery prices have risen 25 per cent in the past four years.
