no they can't not now. a pastor has the ability to sign off on a marriage they technically act in the authority of the state to do so. they can be sued and the church can now be sued for not allowing gay marriage.
a Christian college that only allows men and women who are married to live together can now be sued for not allowing a gay couple.
same goes for a whole host of other religious organizations.
the SCOTUS today just tossed out the 1st amendment on it's ear.
they sdhould be ashamed of themselves.
Correct, but the regulation of that right was left to the states, and the states alone.
Tim-
Not trying to scare only notify.
BULL DOOKY y'all keep asking for things you don't deserve the the activist SCOTUS keep giving them to you.

It's becoming more and more obvious that some Conservatives aren't really against gay marriage because they believe it should be up to the states... they're against it because of their religion. They're using the legal arguments as a front. Even some people who pretended for so long to be against it based on some legal premise have given up all pretense and just admitted that they're against it because they're fundies through their own actions in this forum. Oh... the sweet deliciousness of politics. :lol:
Freedom from slavery, freedom to vote, freedom to not be forced against one's will to be living in an institution, freedom to have an education, freedom to be allowed to own property, freedom to marry.
Things we don't deserve.
Right to kill the unborn ring a bell?
Democracy is the masses oppressing the minority. If we put civil liberties up to democratic vote, minorities like myself, minorities like Hatuey, and minorities here on the forum that are in the LGBTQ community would never have the basic freedoms and ability to join the commonwealth.
So you are notifying me of what some alleged non-corporeal entity from a supposed different universe likes? A being that has never been proven to exist in this reality. Sounds like you two are buddy-buddy. And I am supposed to care about what some fictional being likes why? Am I supposed to care what Cthuhlu and the Tooth Fairy likes also?
Also, noticed your post on your question of polygamy. I'm pretty sure that this ruling didn't affect that. But I honestly think that it should. After all, it is still a marriage between two consenting adults.

I, for one, have indicated my religious and legal opinion on the subject. The religious aspect trumps man's law though.

Or you could own up to your hatred of your fellow man and your embrace of evil.
"Many people will rejoice at this decision, and I begrudge none their celebration. But for those who believe in a government of laws, not of men, the majority's approach is deeply disheartening," he wrote. "... The majority's decision is an act of will, not legal judgment."
Roberts wrote: "If you are among the many Americans -- of whatever sexual orientation -- who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today's decision. ... But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it."
we don't have a court that upholds the constitution. we have a court that does whatever the hell it wants based on the political view of the justices.
2 times in 1 week they have failed up hold the constitution and instead come up with unconstitutional acts.
the entire bench needs to be removed and arrested for violation of their duty this week. they have proven that they are not capable of office or capable of
constitutional judgement just whatever whim they want to pass when they want to pass it.
next we will see them stopping all over religious rights next.
That would actually make sense if we lived in a THEOCRACY. But we don't. So your religious beliefs have no bearing.
But not the denial of it was not left to the states. They were forbidden that.

Do you not believe in good and evil?
Lmao, yeah, welcome to America, 21st century America, religion doesn't trump our laws. Get use to it.
Wrong. The power of states to forbid marriage to certain people has been limited by the constitution for many many years. It was never "left to the states, and the states alone"
