Gay Marriage and Gay Marriage Services

The Supreme Court ruling is being followed but on the edges of that ruling are loopholes being jumped through. Gay marriages are now legal, but the service providers for their weddings are now denying them their specific service. That comes from baking the cakes to photography for the weddings. These are all essential for a wedding in this day and age. Should this behavior continue to be allowed? “Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden by Adam and Eve. One man, and one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never try to redefine marriage, and i do not think that anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage, no I do not.” as said by Kirk

It is like being forced to say sorry to somebody who just socked you in the mouth, it is something they do not want, and should not have to do. It is on the same basis as felons not being able to walk into a gun store and purchase one, based on the choices that they have made that particular service is denied to them. The same for gay marriage, due to choices the people have made particular services are now denying them their labor. There is always the option of getting licensed to run a marriage ceremony, people interested in gay marriage should look into this. It is a loophole that can be used to jump through the initial loophole created by the people who are denying them service. If the gay community really came together they would be figuring out ways like this instead of standing in front of a courthouse with a sign waiting for the work to be done for …show more content…
The best thing that can be done is try to solve this on terms that can be agreed upon. Still forcing ones thoughts and beliefs on another is wrong. So being able to deny a service based upon any reason is acceptable, marriage has for years been between a man and woman lets leave it that way, and religion is free here based on what a religion believes people are not obliged to do certain actions as with gay marriage and Christianity. “ I support gay marriage, I believe that they have the right to be as miserable as the rest of us.” Kinky Friedman. People who are pro gay marriage just have to wait for the opposition to die off, it is an older generation

    Briana Phillips Keith Payne Honors Civics & Economics November 23, 2015 Should Gays Be Allowed To Openly Serve in The U.S. Military? Gays have been fighting for their equal rights since the beginning of time. People seem to always have a problem with homosexuals serving our U.S. military whether they are Christian or Atheist, although they do not seem to care as long as they don’t know about the person’s sexual preference.

    Gay marriage is an issue that is similar to nearly every controversial issue in America History. Most conscientious social issues in America life begin with a large majority of traditionalists pushing back, then some dramatic event event will usually occur, following that public opinion will slowly start to even out, and eventually past actions/ideas will be seen as prejudiced. It's like America collectively goes through the stages of grief before we see social justice: Denial, a lot of anger, barraging, sadness, and then finally acceptance. Along with million of Americans who felt similarly, we saw denial in Senator Jesse Helms by saying that homosexuals were morally wrenched, and believing that homosexuality was a choice. Collectively, we saw the anger in families across the country disowning their children; similarly there was anger in the viscous murder of Matthew Shepard.…

    The First Amendment of the Constitution includes the Free Exercise Clause, which prohibits government interference with a person’s religious practice. The clause applies only to the action against the government, not to private employers (Miller, 2014, p.21-22). The creators of the Constitution understood that religious freedom was a significant subject that required its incorporation into the Bill of Rights. Religion can be a controversial subject due to the copious philosophies, and the passion people cherish. One passion arose with the introduction of House Bill 1632, in the Indiana General Assembly.…

    On Friday, June 26 2015 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality in all fifty states. The five to four decision would forever change the lives of members in the lesbian, gay, transgender community and the rest of the country. The circumstances in which this ruling came about was tragic, the concerns around the case caused a lot of controversy but clearly the right decision was made. I really don’t understand why people don’t get this. I realize that it may be difficult for some to expand their traditional views on relationships and marriage, but we as a society need to accept the fact that others have qualities that make them slightly different yet we are all the same.…

    But, on the other hand, telling a couple they can’t marry because of it, and making it illegal for gays to marry, is striping homosexuals of their natural rights. We as the United States can’t be known as the country who treats everyone equal, because we don’t. Especially against homosexual males and females. To sum it all up, denying them their natural rights is wrong, and society shouldn’t be dictating who can marry who. They will marry whoever they want, it’s not hurting anyone in particular, so why is it illegal?…
