ON WRITS OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT

[June 26, 2015]

JUSTICE KENNEDY delivered the opinion of the Court.

The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity. The petitioners in these cases seek to find that liberty by marrying someone of the same sex and having their marriages deemed lawful on the same terms and conditions as marriages between persons of the opposite sex.
...
No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.

The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed.

It is so ordered.

Well my sister is bisexual, currently has a girlfriend.
i have 2 friends that are lesbian, another guy who is gay with a girlfriend and a girl (trans) dating another friend,

Of them I am likely to be best man at one and giving away the bride at another.

that of course if anyone actually decides to get married, it’s a bit ‘old fashioned’ these days to go through all that for a bit of paper.

I’ve been to 4 weddings (3 girls, 1 guy).

Zero problems going to see two people in love tie the knot so to speak.

Although stag nights tend to be fun lol

It does not follow my religious beliefs to do so. But my friends and family know this so I would not get an invitation to begin with so I'd be off the hook.

Matthew 19:4-6

“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

It depends on who it is. If it’s a friend or a family member of course I’ll be there but if I’m someone’s plus one id probably only go for the delicious food after. I’m not fond of weddings. They’re so long and boring.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

I don't burn my garage down because some bum believes Juanita the Dog-Faced Gremlin lives in my water softener. Likewise, I don't attend sodomite parodies of weddings.

Delusions like these don't deserve to be validated. And if the alphabet mafia insists my saying so is tantamount to bludgeoning them to death, or reenacting the final scene in American Beauty, it only further lends credence to my postulation that they're crazier than Finkle in Ace Ventura.

t-8900 · Answer

I was invited to two. I told them both times that I wish them well but since I am Christian I am barred from going. It's nothing personal and I hope they understand I don't like them any less as people.

not_a_twinkie · Answer

Of course, I've never been to a wedding, and since nobody else in my family is of the fruity persuasion I only have straight ones to look forward to (cause none of my friends are looking to get married)

Interstate · Answer

The basis and Sacrament of Marriage is based on one MAN and one WOMAN.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I don't attend things that don't exist. Marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman.

Xtcy2083 · Answer

No, I wouldn't, because I don't recognise such "marriages".

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

Not sure, I don’t like attending weddings in the first place, but if a good friend or close family member invited me, I would go to make them happy. I would mind my own business.

LimboOfTheDink · Answer

Why wouldn't I attend? I don't like weddings much, but there's usually food after. And this is a friend/family member, so I would wanna be there on this big of a day for them.

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

Yes I would. Even though it’s against the Bible, I am not the one to judge and I also support that family member.

helppls · Answer

Why wouldn't I attend?  I mean, you would attend an opposite sex wedding, so why not this? Why does society think this abnormal?

Yes, I would attend for exactly the same reason I would attend a straight wedding.
