For the sake of argument, let's assume that gays and lesbians were born that way. I believe that most, if not all, are. Should being born a certain way be a reason to be discriminated against? What if you were born gay? Live and let live.

But yours is an irrelevant argument. In the wrong thread.

The argument here is about the tyranny of five unelected political appointees subverting the constitution and redefining marriage for all 50 states.

If you agree that these supreme beings in robes did the right thing ....then what does this say about you?

I'll tell you what it says... It says that you endorse big government and all of its lawlessness and tyranny. It says that you grovel to the superiority of government "wisdom " and condone them making decisions they have no business making in the first place. And it says that you are part of the problem.

I think you're misunderstanding Jefferson's argument. He's not coming at this from the perspective of "homosexuality is a sin, therefore the supreme court's ruling was bad." He's arguing that this is a matter outside of the jurisdiction of the court to mandate to all states.

Not trying to speak for him, but it's possible to believe that being gay is fine, and even that you'd sign a bill as a state governor to allow same sex marriage and still think the court was wrong. His, and other critics of the ruling, argument is the jurisdiction question, not really the "gay" question.

But for most media that is far too complicated. It's just easier to say "BIGOTS!!!!!!!!!!" and pat yourself on the back for being on the happy side of an issue.
