Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on this matter, but the only opinion that will really matter in the long run is the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court when it eventually rules on this.
Does anyone really think that it will deny the right to marry to some people in the USA and grant that same right to others?
I don't believe that will ever happen because it would violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Current line in Salt Lake City, people waiting to get marriage licenses.Mayor Ralph Becker said that he will work all night to make sure everyone who wants to get married can take advantage of this ruling.
You just demonstrated for all to see that you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Sorry....but it isn't worth the time trying to educate you.
Actually...its both. The USSC recognized marriage as a fundamental right in Loving v. Virginia. It also, however, implicates due process and equal protection as well. Discriminatory state action is not per se Unconstitutional. If the state has a legitimate state interest in the discriminatory treatment, the law will be upheld.The problem for marriage equality opponents is that they have not been able to frame a legitimate state interest in denying gay people the right to marry.

Its not the leftists in the USA who are trying to deny gay people the right to get married, its the evangelicals and the Mormons on the right who are doing this intolerant stuff.
because if government had moral authority over you they could dictate your life, how much you eat, you weight. your health, what you drink.
I find your calling leftists ignorant and intolerant offensive.

All well and good, but I don't like being called a bigot because I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
And on a different level, it is an atrocious abuse of states rights when a federal judge's single opinion overturns the decision made by the people of that state. It's not slavery, no one is being forced to hand their life over to someone else.
And does not address marriage in any way. And there's an idea. If you want gay unions to be enshrined in the Constitution as marriage, just amend it. After all, we've done it with citizenship and voting. It's the only sure fire way.
The govt may not discriminate.
Gays can marry in every single state, just the majority of those states do not recognize that marriage.
Is there a reason that gays are not entitled to the same state benefits, privileges, and legal protections as those recognized for straight couples?
They dont have to amend anything. Marriage doesnt have to be in the Constitution. This has been explained to you....you just dont like it.
IF the govt (state or fed) provide benefits, privileges, or legal protections for something, like MARRIAGE, then they must do so equally...they cannot discriminate. It's not about marriage, it's about discrimination (from this particular legal point. THere are others).

For no rational reason? He pretty much writes off the reasons that the majority of voters had when voting and is saying they are not rational. This needs to be appealed and overturned, what a far far far overstepping of judicial rule.
Which recent gay marriage case at the supreme court used Loving in their decision?
Mayor Becker is an awesome man who supports equal rights for all.
Really? That's it? All you can muster? Not impressed, "counsler". In other words, you have no reply.
