That's funny.  They've avoided the issue like the plague for a decade and essentially invited gay 'mirage' to become law. Repubs gave up a long time ago. If that's angry, can't help ya.

The battle is over and we lost. Terms of surrender: We want religious freedom and media to stop calling us haters. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/opinion/sunday/the-terms-of-our-surrender.html?_r=0

This battle isn't over. We have a clear path to overturn this. I've been in this fight for a long time and will never bow to this.

I wish I shared the optimism. I will support efforts to amend the Constitution, but the bar is very high to do all of that

In 1967:

The Supreme Court created new rights with its decision in a very real sense. Prior to their it, no one was being denied their right to marriage. Blacks had the right to marry just like everybody else. A white man had the right to marry a white woman and a black man had the right to marry a black woman. On the other side of things, as a white man, I had not the right to marry a black woman. There was absolutely no discrimination here.

... or something.

Loving was discrimination on the basis of race, which violated Civil Rights Act. That's the case I'd make for Loving.  This was literal creation of a new right, a special right. It was legislating from the bench.  Our founders  would be extremely disappointed.

THis country needs strict constructionist judges back on the bench, otherwise we will have at minimum 30 years of progressive reign.

I think that the multiple people in this thread, including myself, that have expressed support for traditional marriage have disproved this headline -- the only "angry" that I have seen in this thread is mocking Wulfric for his Christian beliefs.

Don't talk to me about tolerance when you said nothing as Wulfric was mocked by anti-Christian bigot rhetoric.

I dislike same sex marriage. I don't dislike gays. How do those quotes matter?
