Kevin commented on the article |I am gay, and obviously support gay marriage, but I don't understand what's wrong with what Ms. Cameron said. All she said was that her religion tells her that marriage is "between a man and a woman". However, in the next sentence, she said that she doesn't think there should be prohibitions against gay couples marrying LEGALLY.
Basically what she said was that, even though she believes that religious marriage is "between a man and a woman", gay couples should still be allowed to marry LEGALLY.
I don't see anything wrong with what she said at all.

Kevin commented on the article |The New Jersey legislature will not pass gay marriage, not right now at least. Focus on the courts, eventually they'll have to hear a really solid case.

When are we going to understand that the only way for gay marriage to be permanently instated is to go through the courts? We should not be supporting or opposing representatives on whether or not they will vote for gay marriage; we should be focusing on getting fair-minded judges appointed throughout the states, and then bombarding the courts with lawsuits.
Vermont and New Hampshire were unique cases. Gay marriage was only passed in those states when the legislatures felt comfortable about doing so, in regards to public opinion. Gay marriage legislation was unique to only these two states. Pretty much every other state is going to require judicial action.

Kevin commented on the article |Nice, predictions, but I think we will see some major judicial victories in the next few years. Even a year ago, who would have thought that Iowa would have gay marriage right now? This is because of success through the court system.
Gay marriage will probably be mandated by the Supreme Court by 2015-16. This will happen sooner than you think; we have the Constitution on our side on this one.

Kevin commented on the article |Haven't we learned ANYTHING? Do NOT allow our civil rights to be put up to a popular vote!
Maine has no ballot referendum on a state Supreme Court decision. Therefore, bombard the court system in Maine with lawsuits. No more popular votes on people's lives, that is insane.

Kevin commented on the article |I have a question related to the issue, if someone who's more knowledgeable can answer it for me.
Are there currently any cases for gay marriage pending in any U.S. states? When can we expect more U.S. states to legalize this? Because it's getting ridiculous already. 5 years gone by, and we only have 5 states and D.C.
And why doesn't there seem to be an organized strategy at hand, here?
24 states have ballot initiatives on legislation, so why introduce gay marriage legislation in these types of states, like Maine? 3 states have ballot initiatives on state Court rulings, so why go through the courts in those 3 states (ie, California fiasco).
Why don't we MAKE A POINT not to give people a chance to vote on it? Because personally, I'm getting pretty tired, pretty quickly, of having the masses vote on my life.
So anyway...anyone know of any upcoming court cases?

Kevin commented on the article |You know, it's quite hilarious when people come into these threads are post things like "but the majority doesn't want gay marriage!" or "but the people voted to reject gay marriage in 31 states!"
I find it absolutely hysterical and I wind up in fits of laughter that these people could have such one-track minds.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether the majority supports or opposes equal civil marriage for gay couples. There, I said it. It doesn't matter what you think. Let that sink in, and let it sink in good.
Heterosexual couples have special rights and privileges under state and federal law that homosexual couples are denied. This is blatant discrimination, and it really could not be more obvious. At the end of the day, does it really matter if the majority of Americans want to discriminate? No, it doesn't. Just because the majority supports discrimination does not mean that the government has to agree with them, as we have learned throughout American history.
No, majority does not always rule in the United States. Again, let that sink in. This will inevitably be settled through the court system, as it is a civil rights issue, and no, the people will not get a say in the matter.
So celebrate your little ballot referendums now while you still can, before this is forced into law, against your will, by the courts. Have a nice day, one-track minds. :)

Kevin commented on the article |Well, at least that's something. Remember when Iowa did it, how out of nowhere it was? Does anyone know if there are any court cases coming up that we should be watching? I'm aware of Wisconsin, but unsure if there are any others pending.

Kevin commented on the article |John, cut the religious crap. Your religious beliefs concerning marriage do not matter in the eyes of secular law, and neither does anything that the Bible has to say. You cannot force the government to coincide its laws with your religious beliefs. Gay marriage (which will be legal, whether you like it or not) does not harm your religious freedom in any way whatsoever. You will still be able to do whatever you damn well please inside your church, you will still be able to have your religious man/woman only marriage inside your church. However, you will not be able to force your religious beliefs into the law, and try to prevent gay couples from getting legally married. Not everyone believes in your religion. I know several atheists who are married. The Christian crap does not work with me. Keep your religion out of other people's lives, please. It's irrelevant, and the government doesn't care about it.
