I just watched NBC say how quickly America is accepting gay marriage. One COMPLETE LIE they made was that 37 states had already legalized gay marriage before the SCOTUS decision. That's a big lie designed to try to change public opinion. 33 of the 37 were forced to allow gay marriage by either state or federal courts. Court order is a long way from states choosing to legalize. The same lie is being spread about public opinion since reports group civil unions and marriage into the same category and they are not.

The judges were appointed by people we elected.

I think UofM posted a link to a bunch of polls yesterday saying they all showed 60% favored gay marriage (sic) and virtually none of them did.

It distorts the truth. But your numbers aren't quite right. Justice Roberts said 11 states and DC had passed legislation. Perhaps some of them were triggered by court rulings, but the legislature did in fact approve it.

I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. That said, I understand why the SC voted as they did.

I realized a few years ago that people in general do not regard marriage the way my wife and I do. ..as a sacrament. I have learned to accept that.

Hawaii, Oregon, Iowa, Vermont & DC are the ones I'm aware legalized same sex marriage legislatively.

Not MSNBC just NBC I guess it shouldn't be a surprise NBC structures the news to fit their view which comes as no surprise since their front-man Brian Williams did that with his life story.

It's hard for me to sympathize with a 7-figure earner...
