IT WAS SAID THAT IF SUE LOVED MIKE IT WAS OK TO BE MARRIED........ BUT IF SUE LOVED SALLY IT WAS NOT. THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL THEREFORE THE BAN ON GAY MARRIAGE IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE AS IT IS NOT "EQUAL"

SAME SEX MARRIAGE

PROS

Legalizing gay marriage will not harm the institution of marriage, and same-sex marriages may even be more stable than heterosexual marriages.

Gay couples make good parents.A June 2014 peer-reviewed University of Melbourne study showed that children raised by same-sex parents score about six percent higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion

Gay marriages can bring financial gain to federal, state, and local governments and can help boost the economy.

Marriage is not only for procreation, otherwise infertile couples or couples not wishing to have children would be prevented from marrying.

Same-sex marriage is a civil right.The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), on May 21, 2012, named same-sex marriage as "one of the key civil rights struggles of our time."

Marriage is an internationally recognized human right for all people.Since 1888 the US Supreme Court has declared 14 times that marriage is a fundamental right for all, according to the American Foundation for Equal Rights

Gay marriage is protected by the US Constitution's commitments to liberty and equality.

The concept of "traditional marriage" has changed over time, and the definition of marriage as always being between one man and one woman is historically inaccurate.

Same-sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoyed by heterosexual married couples.

Denying some people the option to marry is discriminatory and creates a second class of citizens.

CONS

Gay marriage is contrary to the word of God and is incompatible with the beliefs, sacred texts, and traditions of many religious groups. The Bible, in Leviticus 18:22, states: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination," thus condemning homosexual relationships

Allowing gay couples to wed could further weaken the institution of marriage.Traditional marriage is already threatened with high divorce rates (between 40% and 50%), and 40.7% of babies were born to unmarried mothers in 2012.

Legalizing gay marriage could lead down a "slippery slope," giving people in polygamous, incestuous, bestial, and other nontraditional relationships the right to marry.

Children need both a mother and a father.

The institution of marriage has traditionally been defined as being between a man and a woman.In upholding gay marriage bans in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee on Nov. 6, 2014, 6th US District Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton wrote that "marriage has long been a social institution defined by relationships between men and women. So long defined, the tradition is measured in millennia, not centuries or decades

Texas view

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday dismissed state Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempt to void the marriage of two Austin women who, thanks to an order from a district judge, tied the knot four months before same-sex marriage became the law of the land last June. Paxton argued that the marriage was invalid because it was based on an improper order by state District Judge David Wahlberg, but a unanimous Supreme Court dismissed Paxton’s challenge as moot because the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the state’s prohibition on gay marriage…

Marriage is the keystone of our social orderSubtopic

The decenters of the 5-4 ruling felt that the US SC had "usurped the right of the state and citizens to decide the matter themselves."

JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA SAID, "In a system of government that makes the people subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy."

5-4 VOTE THAT IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO PROHIBIT SSM   TEXAS FOUGHT IT BUT THE SC DECIDED IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO BAN

History of SSM

2016

On 26 June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in Obergefell v. Hodges that states cannot prohibit the issuing of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, or to deny recognition of lawfully performed out-of-state marriage licenses to same-sex couples. This ruling invalidated same-sex marriage bans in any U.S. State
