Did people vote on whether marriage includes same sex unions, or did courts decide for people and force their decisions on people?
Thought so.

So they are forcing EVERYONE in America to marry gay couples? I didn't get the memo.
They are forcing everyone to accept same sex unions to be called a marriage. The people voted against it, the courts over ruled them and said too bad.
Who is right who is wrong doesn't matter. Someone dismissing their vote and telling them they have no choice in the matter is what it's mostly about in my opinion. Just like MA raged against integration, that passed, so too will this.

Dunno, doesn't affect me.
Does it affect you?
Nothing about this story hits a note with the Muslim community, so no outrage.

Who does this affect apart from same sex couples? Why should bob and barbara basic have any say in what barry and benny do?
They shouldn't. I wonder who would have stood there in seeming outrage when suddenly people were forced to accept black people drinking out of the same fountains as whites....
Would you have been? Same thing no?

Could not care less. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact it DOES affect other people, and you know it does. Whether it should or not doesn't matter, it does. That's why there is outrage. Nothing about this story hits a note with the Muslim community, so no outrage.

Yep because they know to follow the laws and rules of this country.
Apparently Christians are too selective.

it affects no one. your outrage for those it affects, rings hollow.
Or you are being obtuse, I think we will go with that.
Apparently liberals are too. I sourced them doing far worse already when the courts ruled about desegregation. If only those liberals could follow the laws.

I am sure you can provide examples of that.
Southie was ground zero for anti-busing rage. Hundreds of white demonstrators — children and their parents — pelted a caravan of 20 school buses carrying students from nearly all-black Roxbury to all-white South Boston. The police wore riot gear.
“I remember riding the buses to protect the kids going up to South Boston High School,” Jean McGuire, who was a bus safety monitor, recalled recently. “And the bricks through the window. Signs hanging out those buildings, ‘Nigger Go Home.’ Pictures of monkeys. The words. The spit. People just felt it was all right to attack children.”
Why can't you liberals follow the law? What is wrong with you people, attacking children, disgusting.
stop making this about Christianity
So in other words you ask for sources, they are provided, and you ignore them. Seems to be the norm for people around here any time facts are proven they don't like.
