The audio is amazing to listen to. Listening to history being made, with all the good and bad arguments.

i feel embarassed this is an issue.

i mean seriously, like let people marry whomever they want.
i feel like we live in the stone ages. (paleo!)

it really makes me sad for people who are so against it it's like their main cause in life to be against gay marriage. makes me think their life is sad.

CBC is saying that they might not rule at all: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013 ... riage.html

I don't get their objections. Genderless marriage has been around in various times and cultures, marriage itself has many cultural and religious definitions, and several countries have legalized genderless marriage and we haven't collapsed into the sea yet, and I don't understand it being American policy to wait hundreds of years before changing any policies.

But we have never in the history of history done things any differently from the way we do them right now!

Scalia and his "tell me what date it magically became unconstitutional" argument was so pathetic.

I'm not following the arguments closely, but from what I understand my balls are full of marriage licenses?

When are we all going to learn that the majority can't rule on civil rights for minorities? Why isn't this just a no-brainer?

if it makes you feel any better, this is what's happening in my backyard: the head of the human rights commission, which rules on human rights abuses including GLBTQ, racism, gender, etc hate crimes, is a white evangelical pastor who is not only an open homophobe [explained in detail here http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/03/1 ... -anti-gay/ ] but also has said something to the tune of "black people are cursed by god" for their sins, the penalty being that they are born black. (Last I checked that was what my evangelical buddhist cult auntie believes too but that's neither here nor there.)
So far he's said he would quit but last night he was on the news having finally removed all protesters from the congress and swearing that he could be impartial and fair. uh huh, tell me another.
