The SCOTUS decision was that it is discriminatory to create laws which prohibited homosexuals from enjoying the same benefits as heterosexuals. Yes, people got pissed. So what? Who was harmed?

Are you transferring. Sounds like someone desparate to defend their God belief.
No, atheists don't care about religion. They do care about religious belief infringement in government. It is our government too.

Any idea where the main impetus for laws against homosexual marriage originated? They're actually quite recent and are the point of the SCOTUS decision.
You can't legislate against ignorance and you can't legalize discrimination.
As I told Phage, it is more about culture than religion, and the seems to atheist blame it all on religion.
hey under the same decision I can use my CHL in all states now.
Be my guest. The contract will be tricky though.
Now when will I be able to have 5 wives

That being said lgbt group are now a special class of citizens. How are we sappose to distinctly tell if someone is or isnt gay.
I believe that is Protected Class, not special class. As in a minority. Same as other protected minorities.
Equal treatment does not require you to know if someone is gay or not.
if a group is "protected" moreso than another group or person.....that is "special".

No. What is "special" is when they are denied rights that others who are not part of that group have.
Gosh, I guess childless heterosexual couples aren't married then.
If marriage is what happens when a man and a woman bond and have a child then gay marriage will never be equal
There's no reason a gay couple should be formally recognized as tying the knot.
