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.

@9J8X8VLLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, but eliminate marriage entirely from governmental oversight, and make the default a civil union
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
Honestly I’d be good with this, civil unions for all under the law sounds better than just limiting it to non-straight people.
@9D764GP2yrs2Y
Marriage is a religious institution. As such it should be protected. Civil contracts are able to be entered into by any adult or adults. Nobody should be forced to agree with your choices just because you have the right to make them.
@9CDRKMMIndependent2yrs2Y
Sorry I can't answer that
@9YMBFG711mos11MO
I think marriage should only be allowed between man and woman but idk I could careless who someone wants to marry.
@9VWKQ7H11mos11MO
I support anyone who wants to be married but the government should not be involved in anything to do with the church and people should have the right to refuse conducting the ceremony.
@95PZ4NX 1yr1Y
Yes, however the government should not be involved in marriage and not discriminate on the base of it. Also nobody should be subjected to compelled speech.
@9K9GF5G2yrs2Y
I'm entirely neutral on the subject and the citizen marrying them should also have a say in legalizing the marriage.
@99RZ6BF3yrs3Y
yes, I say they can love however they want unless it's bad
@9732VW93yrs3Y
everyone should be able to marry whoever they want if both parties consent
@96MP2393yrs3Y
If Iḿ not gay or lesbian or just not willing to marry the same sex as me I don think it should matter to the whole world because not everyone wants to marry the same sex
@96GL7X83yrs3Y
yes as long as people marry other living people
@96FL35Q3yrs3Y
I am completely neutral with this, but I still think it should be legal.
@966XCM53yrs3Y
its up to people to marry who ever they want
@965S3RX3yrs3Y
I don't support it but the government doesn't get to choose
@95XRXXP3yrs3Y
Yes, and establish that refusal to hold LGBTQIA+ marriage ceremonies is an inexorable instance of unlawful discrimination.
yes allow anyone to have same sex marriage anywhere
@95GJHNV3yrs3Y
It is one of the things that I don't want be involved in.
@95CSYY53yrs3Y
Yes, and the government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all.
@959DR693yrs3Y
My religious views do not allow me to decide on a matter like this
@95847NR3yrs3Y
Yes, I do, everyone has the right to marry their love of life. How would you feel if you couldn't marry the person you love just because of the same sex? This is America.
@9544QP43yrs3Y
Yes and it is already legal.
@93YSRRX3yrs3Y
Yes, and the government should also acknowledge polyamorous domestic partnerships
@93LTCGG3yrs3Y
Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies by separating the religious and civil ceremonies.
@93FYPY83yrs3Y
No, the original definition of marriage is between a man and a woman and the redefining of marriage basically makes it a partnership and something you can get out of easily
I think someone should just be allowed to marry anyone.
@93DGF5Q3yrs3Y
No, personally It it should be up to the state
@93CYKS63yrs3Y
Yes I support it, and it's no one decision. They shouldn't' have an opinion on it.
@92X9ZML3yrs3Y
Yes, everyone should have the right to marry who they want and not get discriminated for it.
@92W7GXHWomen’s Equality3yrs3Y

@92T2X2T3yrs3Y

@92MFJ3P3yrs3Y
To explain my stance, it stands as so. I don't like the idea of gay people and or marriage, but I also don't really care what you do, So long as it's not rubbed in my face, you do you.
@8TMG8PZ4yrs4Y
Yes and institute protection laws to against hate crimes.
@8PDD8Q25yrs5Y
Yes, the government should not be involved in marriage decisions.
@8NY2SPX5yrs5Y
Yes, marriage is both a social and political construct as health care and other benefits rely on marriage status.
@8N5Z8N45yrs5Y
Yes, it is legal now and should stay legal. This issue should be resolved its 2020 come on.
@8LCYVDT5yrs5Y
No. Homosexual behavior is a crime. Lesbian behavior is a crime, unless by two or more wives of the same man with the man’s blessing.
@8KYBZGSLibertarian5yrs5Y
No, marriage is a religious not governmental.
@8JLDTL25yrs5Y
Duh, whoever says no has a right to their beliefs but I will never understand why you would say that. It is not your life to decide and take away rights from a very large group of people who have done nothing wrong.
@8J9CY375yrs5Y
Remove government from marriage altogether and make it a private, contractual relationship.
@8HP5HDF5yrs5Y
I don´t care what other people do but what I know is that God put Adam and Eve on this world to create a human race of male and female and they should reproduce
@8HHW9GW5yrs5Y
No, the Government should not be involved in marriage.
@8HGMYSY5yrs5Y
Take the government out of marriage and abolish its status as a legal institution.
@8H28X9L5yrs5Y
Yes, 100% yes. Love is love and everyone should be treated equally.
@8FMH2ZMRepublican5yrs5Y
Yes, it should be legislated instead of heard by the supreme court
@8D58JHN5yrs5Y
Yes, they are entitled to the same rights as a straight couple and shouldn't be punished or treated differently because of their sexual identification.
@8D3LBGJ5yrs5Y
The government should leave same-sex couples alone, but should not hand out marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
@8CD28MS5yrs5Y
Should be decided by the separate states, but other states should have to accept those marriages as legal
@99Y7HQC3yrs3Y
It is unconstitutional to criminalize marriage.
@99X2PHP3yrs3Y
@99WN4B6Libertarian3yrs3Y
For me, people do what they want. I have no opinion.
@99VWK4Q3yrs3Y
They were never illegalized in the first place.
@99TJ7MF3yrs3Y
Yes, the amount of hate crimes and death caused by hate crimes the LGBTQIA+ community faces in a year? this should be the least people can do.
This doesn't matter to me, I don't really care.
@99RB4DX3yrs3Y
I do not agree that a man and another man or a woman and another woman should marry because I believe that it is meant to be a man and a woman. That is how God made it. I have nothing against people like that, I simply don't agree with it.
@99PBS2Z3yrs3Y
Yes, but stop trying to make me like the idea.
@99NVYTSRepublican3yrs3Y
Yes, but churches who practice certain religions should have an option to opt out.
@99NTGP63yrs3Y
I think that is had caused so much drama and would be better if it was left alone or that it was illegal to talk publicly about your sexuality
@99KSJDJ3yrs3Y
I support the Bible’s point of view
@99J6XQP3yrs3Y
Love Is love it dosent matter to me I don’t care
@99992V8Republican3yrs3Y
I don't really have an opinion plus this seems really homophobic.
don't contain an opinion
@9995H933yrs3Y
I don't mind same-sex marriage
@98TTLJB3yrs3Y
Support the person but not the sin.
@98JJD2H3yrs3Y
Yes, people everywhere should have the right to marry who they want.
I don't technically support this idea but people are going to love who they love so go for it ig.
@98D97QN3yrs3Y
@988Z7TP3yrs3Y
can be done if they want
@9887WJ33yrs3Y
i do not personally care
@97H9HJPRepublican3yrs3Y
Take the government out of marriage, same sex marriage is marriage
@97H47CQIndependent3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it isn't affecting my views
@97D6PZHRepublican3yrs3Y
I could care less. It would depend if the person wants to do it or not
it's up to people to do what they want it's their life not mine

Yes this should be a law that this is alloowed it is normal and is a human right.

@95F8DRG3yrs3Y
I don't like it but it's fine with me even if it's not right in my mind.
@95C85L4Republican3yrs3Y
I do not necessarily agree with it but I believe people are free to do what they want. I do think that in churches and in religious circumstances, they should be free to prohibit it too. Especially if their religion says so.
@95638MP3yrs3Y
it depend on the situations
@94662LY3yrs3Y
The way I see it, either every adult couple has a right to marriage, or none do.
I don’t support it but I don’t deny it.
@8KF22J85yrs5Y
Yes and while we're at it, let's put a stop to disabled adults losing their benefits if they choose to marry.
@B5B6F8D4mos4MO
Yes
@9R7K4861yr1Y
Yes, marriage is a legal binding contract that comes with rights and benefits. If a couple chooses to share life and assets they should be entitled to marriage to solidify that.
