I think threatening the Supreme Court pissed Thomas off a bit.


I think the handwriting is on the wall.

SCOTUS judges know a packed court is imminent. They’re trying to get ahead as much as possible before the woke tidal wave of judges hit the court. I expect them to add 7 new seats on the bench before potato brain is out of office.

Have you not seen the lawsuits that were brought against churches and other religious venues in liberal NE areas that do not allow same sex marriages? The same sex couples won all of the lawsuits I am aware of. The activists absolutely do want to force all churches to marry them.


Not one person has been forced to officiate a same sex marriage since it was legalized over seven years ago.

I was always for legal partnerships that gave homosexuals the same rights (I.e. health Beni’s, inheritance Rights, hospital visits, SS Beni’s, etc)


You left divorce off.

I know a gay couple that got married. He had a great job and his "wife" stayed home. After 10-11 years they got a divorce and the "wife" took his arse to the cleaners.

This "states rights" argument is always a slippery slope and subjects some Americans to the whims of the majority in their states. That never ends well.


Do you realize we've had this for decades with gun rights? It's ended well for people who live in free states and shitty for people who live in states like NY. This has already been a reality and some of you are acting as if it's some great unknown.

I give precisely zero fricks about gay marriage one way or the other.


I am offended by their appropriation of the term 'marriage'. They can have any kind of ceremony they want, get all the benefits of a 'marriage'. I'm cool with that.
But it won't be a marriage as created and ordained by God, and therefore shouldn't be held in a church. Nor should they try to redefine 'marriage'. Call it something else. Come up with your own word.

Luckily, our rights are fairly well stamped out in this little document that agrees with my point. You are free in America until your actions infringe on someone else's clearly established rights in said document.

You are either pro-freedom or you are not.

Some states have old laws on the books that make sodomy illegal, even if between consenting adults. I believe that is what its referring to. Louisiana is one of those states if memory serves correctly.


Seems like almost impossible to prove this in court, unless someone admits to it. If frick my girlfriend in the arse, whose business is it? It's a stupid, outdated law. Certainly didn't the gays.

I have always been of the opinion that marriage is a religious institution, and should be under the jurisdiction of churches. Civil marriages should be governed by contract law.

If two (or more) consenting adults want to enter into a contract they find mutually beneficial why should the state stop them. Why should their genders and if they frick each other have any bearing on it?

If two straight dudes want to be hetero life mates and be on the same insurance why should they be treated any differently in the eyes of the state than two gay dudes who are "married?"

Their whole goal with gay marriage was to redefine marriage and destroy the concept. In the end, the goal is the destruction of the concept of a nuclear family.

What's childish is calling someone childish for defining the word freedom as it should be defined.

Clarence Thomas Wants to 'Correct the Error' of SCOTUS legislating from the bench that Gay Marriage is a right. Thomas correctly expects Congress to make that call.



I agree, my thread title is a c/p of the “news” article

then they’d have to do it damned quick - they have until the next Congress is seated, since Dems are likely about to lose the Senate

Ah yes, it's been seven years since Gay Marriage was legalized and marriage has been wiped off the face of the map. It can only sadly be found in history books now./s You want to talk about the destruction of the nuclear family, how about you look at what divorce has done for the last 50 years.

Wow! Christians did not invent marriage. People were getting married before Christ was born. Even in the last 2,000 years, non-Christians got married in lands that were not affected by Christian beliefs, and non-Christians got married in lands that are majority Christian.

Christians don't own the tradition, the institution, or the word.

I’ve told gay people I know that their fight for gay marriage was unnecessary. I’ve told them that all the legal protection afforded to married men and women was available to them in the late 80’s early 90’s through the court system but the relationship could not carry the legal name of a “marriage”….that wasn’t good enough. Why? Because to make themselves feel good about their relationship it had to be normalized through marriage.

The gay marriage sham was a critical component of the progressive agenda to normalize deviant behavior….it was always a “slippery slope” approach to take society farther down the road of sexual deviancy, who could argue, just look at the shite going on currently in society.
