re: TOS: Where is all the love for the SCOTUS decision?

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.

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.
