Gay Marriage Decision Praised by Psychological Group

Keep whining all you people who are upset by this ruling. The times they are a changing.

Don't see what the big deal is..for each gay guy is just an extra woman for me!
Just thinking out loud!

@StayAwake: You said “What about the scientific basis that it takes a man and a women to procreate and What about life threatening ILLNESSES.” . . . . Two Points. 1. You have FAILED with your comment if you are trying to say or imply that Gays cannot procreate (or reproduce) or sustain the human race, and here‘s why: ALL people, straight, gay, male, female must look for the opposite sex if they want to reproduce, however, they do NOT have to rely on heterosexuals to reproduce offspring (procreate) and here‘s why: The DEFINITION of Procreation is to reproduce offspring, and there is NOTHIING in the definition that says procreation must be naturally. And just so that you are aware of it, male to female sex, artificial insemination, sperm and egg donation, IVF treatments, etc. are forms of PROCREATION; therefore, Heterosexuals AND Homosexuals can reproduce offspring (or procreate).

I know, you may not like it, you may not want to believe it, and it destroys the FALSE importance that you may have placed on heterosexuality, but it is a FACT: Heterosexuals are not needed for reproduction of offspring. Children can be born from the egg of a lesbian and sperm of a gay male. They can do it NATURALLY or with a third party (as heterosexuals OFTEN do) and either way, it does not automatically change their sexual orientation. Again, male sperm and a female egg are the requirements for procreation and reproduction, NOT a person’s sexual orientation (straight or gay. Also, procreation is not a requirement for Straight or Gay marriage.

2. Life threatening illnesses can occur in Straight or Gay marriages, so whatever you say about illnesses can be applied to Straight and Gay people.

Actually, I think it's pretty simple:
1) If you're a Christian, surely you understand that God created us ALL in His image. If you believe He is the Creator, He created homosexuality in ALL species of animals. Unfortunately, this issue is being decided in the courts because of the fear and ignorance of the facts regarding homosexuality by "Christians" who have decided that they can judge others - not a very Christian attribute.
2) If you're not a Christian what is the problem? Loving gay couples pose no threat to your marriage, your sexuality, your way of life. Personally, I would rather see a loving gay couple than a miserable hetero couple. Gay couples have had to overcome so many more obstacles than straight couples - they tend to cherish what few rights they've been awarded.
Live and let live. If you're a Christian, let God be our judge. If you're not a Christian, live by the Golden Rule. See - it's actually pretty simple.

So when is homophobia going to be classified as a mental disorder? Irrational fear, paranoia, superiority complex... Just a few of the symptoms.

love is hard to find.....Now think what your life would be like without that person...

People in this country are stupid. REALLY stupid. I'm not gay. Don't want to be gay. Don't have any gay freinds (that I know of). BUT, you can't legislate morality. GOP, dumber by the day.

If gay marriage is a sin then let them be judged by God, not man. By the way religious nuts... if it was God's will that gay marriage is a sin, then the court would have ruled in your favor, unless you want to say that the courts are more powerful then your God.

Im not gay, But I say if two people gay or not can find true love in this crazzy world we live in , Then let them be happy. This is a rare win for basic human rights today. :)

Equality and justice for ALL!

The Courts made the RIGHT ruling. The majority of people (or Popular Vote) did not want slavery to end, equal rights for women, interracial marriages, etc. If we made laws based only on the majority, many groups in the U.S. would not have Civil/Equal rights. When examined closely most sane people can see there are no arguments in support of withholding full civil rights and recognition of homosexual relationships that do not stem from bigotry, hatred, ignorance, and/or religion, ALL of which are NOT valid reasons to deny people Civil/Equal Rights.

The U.S. is a Democracy Republic, meaning The Majority (or Popular Vote) is Limited in a Republic under a written Constitution, safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority. The Courts/Judges, etc. are often needed because, when the majority can pass laws or rules that apply, not just to themselves, but to all members of the group, judgment is required to DISTINGUISH potential laws which are reasonable and fair from those which are TYRANNICAL because they are unnecessary, unfair, and justifiably intolerable to the minority that opposed them. Formal mechanisms need to be in place, wherever feasible, to prevent tyrannical laws from being passed by those whose judgment in such matters might fail: For example, courts often step in when people try to pass laws to coddle their Bigotry, Hate, and/or Ignorance, ignoring that the laws are unfair, unnecessary, and intolerable to the minority by DENYING the minority the same rights the majority may have . . . . . This ruling sends the appropriate message to the Bigots that their bigotry will not be sanctioned in laws by the government.

It's hard to figure why these frivolous lawsuits were instigated by the closet and self-hating
gays in the first place. Why try to fool yourself? Come out in the open as proud gay men
and women. Vitriol against gay people is the first indication of self-hatred and denial on the
parts of the perpetrators.

Stop trying to legislate love. Stay out of people's bedrooms. I'll stay out of yours and I expect folks not invited to stay out of mine.

If the largest professional organization for psychologists has long supported same-sex marriage, then why do so many people against gay marriage claim that children of gay couples turn out so screwed up? I guess the truth is kids turn out screwed up anyway, even with loving straight parents who never get divorced.

It's wonderful to see human social progress in the midst of what seems like never ending stupidity.

Kim Kartrashian can be married for 72 days but 2 consenting adults who have been together longer than I've been alive can't get married because it goes against the "sanctity of marriage."

The basic reason for and the understanding of the word marriage, in nearly every society around the world, was giving birth to and the parenting of children.

My sister had to work for one at the hair salon.

Way to show how democracy doesn't work. All you need is an activist judge and a...............

2 quick questions--and there's no need to be coy about religion because we all know that God exists.
1. Did He design us and our universe?
2. Did He give us all the ability to choose?
