I'm biting my tongue re: gay marriage rights.

1967 decision 9 to 0 decision.... In its decision, the court wrote:

“ Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the convictions in a unanimous decision, dismissing the Commonwealth of Virginia's argument that a law forbidding both white and black persons from marrying persons of another race, and providing identical penalties to white and black violators, could not be construed as racially discriminatory. The court ruled that Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute violated both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
and yes , without a doubt, the due process clause and equal protection clause of the American Constution applies to ALL americans in regard to civic marriage. all americans are all americans. religious marriage can still be denied by churches. God Bless the United States Constution, amen

We ARE all entitled to our own beliefs as long as we don't force them on anyone else. It was not his business to judge and married or not, they could still have children so what was the point of refusing to marry them? The Parish he lives in has a reputation for being ....ugh... lets just say "strange". It seems to attrack the odd balls.. I should know, I lived in that Parish for many years and will be retiring there...
