Dne 26. června 2015 americký nejvyšší soud rozhodl, že odmítnutí manželství licencí porušil řádný proces a ustanovení o rovné ochraně ve čtrnáctém dodatku k ústavě Spojených států. Rozhodnutí dělal stejného pohlaví manželství legální ve všech 50 státech USA.

Jak moc je pro vás z hlediska rovných práv a osobních svobod důležité, aby všechny páry bez ohledu na pohlaví měly právo uzavřít manželství?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Pokud by sňatek přítele nebo člena rodiny mezi osobami stejného pohlaví neměl přímý dopad na váš život, postavili byste se proti němu a na jakém základě?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Proč si myslíte, že někteří lidé jsou hluboce ovlivněni manželskými právy jiných, které osobně neznají?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Mění zákonnost manželství hodnotu lásky a závazku mezi dvěma lidmi?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Co pro vás znamená rovnost v manželství a proč se podle vás stala tak zásadním tématem společnosti?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Jaký vliv má právní potvrzení jakéhokoli láskyplného vztahu na sociální strukturu našich komunit?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Měla by vláda rozhodovat o tom, kdo si koho vezme, nebo je to osobní svoboda?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Může uznání lásky mezi jakýmikoli dvěma dospělými ovlivnit váš osobní život? pokud ano, jak?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Představte si, že najdete svého dokonalého partnera, ale pravidla společnosti vám brání v manželství; jaké emoce to vyvolává?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Jak byste se cítili, kdybyste si na základě zákona nemohli vzít osobu, kterou milujete?

No form of government should have any involvement in marriage.
@2J3YKT44 roky4Y
The marriage laws should be "equal" to traditional marriages and divorce decrements which include court decisions such as alimony, fornication, etc.
@2J3WQZQ4 roky4Y
Explain to me, other than someone making a buck, why you need a religious ceremony and a law to validate how you feel about someone.
@2J3W9CL4 roky4Y
As long as it's named something else! We call a man a man and a woman a woman so that we know the difference, since marriage is traditionally defined as a man and woman so same sex unions should be defined by a word that describes that! Give them the same rights, benefits, and consequences.
@2J3PGFK4 roky4Y
Who the hell cares. Why don't we talk about the economy instead???
@2J38PTZ4 roky4Y
Yes, but marriages are hetero-normative and perpetuate sexism and homophobia.
@2J37K58Republikánské4 roky4Y
No, allow civil unions and increase what civil unions mean and rights within civil unions. Marriage by definition is between man and women because there is a natural way to create offspring, however difficult or easy that may be for each individual marriage. Churches should always remain separate from government, which means they are to be allowed to refuse marriages per their choice. They currently do that with traditional man and women marriages when they feel there is not enough preparation among other reasons. So that should be continued, a church is a following of people not just a building to be admired.
@2J2NLJRRepublikánské4 roky4Y
For me marriage has to do with my faith. I think the Government should stay out of marriage and provide family benefits in place of marriage benefits. For someone to be denied access to their loved ones because they are not married is wrong.
@2J2NDXF4 roky4Y
Marriage should be a solely religious ceremony and non-religious people should not be married, but have a civil union and a church should have the right to marry, or deny marriage, to whom they choose.
@2J2BZ5N4 roky4Y
The government has absolutely no business telling anyone who they should or should not marry.
That is legislating someones religious views, and is absolutely contrary to the separation of church and state, as well as an infringement on individual rights.
@2J26NMK4 roky4Y
Yes- but do not force a church to offer license. Patrons are free to choose churches to hold ceremony as they please. Also, condemn the use of artificial insemination for same sex couples. Children have an inherent right to have a father and mother care for them.
@2J26JM63 roky3Y
Yes, it's wrong, and no it's not. It's not right for people to bash it constantly when they say it's a sin in the bible. There are thousands of sins but they continue to only bash this particular one. Then LGBT we get it equal rights, but you can't shove this down other people's throats, the hardcore Christians aren't going to accept unless you show the many standpoints not just have pride days and celebrations. Both sides are wrong, but both are right, so I'm a both
@2HZFBC44 roky4Y
Each state should be able to make their own choice. For example, it is fine if Alabama bans it, while New York makes it legal.
@2HZCG2K4 roky4Y
I do not support it because I am a Christian, but for the same reason I do not and will not keep anyone from having a same sex marriage. It would be wrong for me to hate someone for it. I do not agree with it, however.
@2HZC2CW3 roky3Y
From a governmental stand point the term marriage should be changed to civil union for all couples. The term marriage is a religious invention anyway.
@2HZ3PTV4 roky4Y
Yes, but I still feel a bit uneasy about this as small children may be exposed to public displays affection within the same sex, which I do not feel is natural, but understand, this is something you are born with. However, as the years pass, this will be considered 'normal' and this issue will be a thing of the past.
@2HYY4C63 roky3Y
Marriage should be abolished - replaced with limited term co-habitation contracts
@2HYX3LP4 roky4Y
Yes but call it something else to alleviate the fears of the religious nuts. I couldn't care less what others do in regard to their marriages and it does not threaten mine.
@2HYSG5P4 roky4Y
Marriage was created to safeguard the human race, i.e. protect women and children. In the U.S. and other parts of the world it is used to control permissions and freedoms, i.e. taxes, property, and medical decisions. Therefore, marriage should not be religious or based on sex. It is a legal status therefore it should be based upon two people who decide they want to enter a legal relationship.
@2HYKBJH4 roky4Y
Yes, it's not my right to say if someone could marry someone else that they love, regardless of sexual orientation.
@2HYC6C84 roky4Y
Don't care, just don't be all up in my face about it and broadcast it everywhere. Just do what you want and go about your business.
@NB23F54 roky4Y
They may get married but only receive "marriage" benefits if they have children.
@N946VJ4 roky4Y
I couldn't care who marries whom, or what. All I ask is that if a gay couple get married, that they call it gay married to substantiate the difference. That way, if I say I am married, the person asking knows I am married to a woman. If I said I was gay married, they would know my partner was a male. That is all I would ask for. Fair enough.
@N828FM4 roky4Y
Civil Unions for same-sex couples and heterosexual couples. Marriage is a religious sacrament. Separation of Church and State is well documented. The State should not be allowed to name one of its numerous licenses after a Christian sacrament. The Church is allowed to dictate who it will and will not provide a marriage ceremony. This should solve the whole thing. It's semantics.
@N4GVS74 roky4Y
It shouldn't be called "marriage" because marriage from the very beginning was between a man and a woman. They should call it something else and they should be allowed to be together.
@N2P4J54 roky4Y
For a workers party. For a workers government. For the right of gay, lesbian, bisexual, & transgender marriage - and divorce! For full democratic rights for GBLT people. Defend the 1st Amendment Jeffersonian-Madisonian separation of religion & state, including 1st & 14th Amendment equality before the law for GBLT people. For the 2nd Amendment right of armed self-defense by GBLT people against bigoted terrorism. For the arming of GBLT people in self-defense against bigoted terrorism.

Individual decision, does not need a master to grant permission.
@MB9WMR4 roky4Y
Call it a partnershjp, and give them rights - but DON'T call it marriage!
@MB7LK44 roky4Y
It's not the role of government to define the term "marriage" for the people and their religions. There is no valid reason for the state to be involved in, or to regulate, adult consensual relationships that don't involve procreation. But it should have nothing to do with "banning" or refusing to allow anyone to define their relationship and the term they choose for it, however they, and their religion, defines it.
@M9QS3W4 roky4Y
Clergy should not act as agents of the state in witnessing marriages. All unions gay and straight should be civil. If the couple wishes to have a religious ceremony subsequently then they can do so according to the rules of their house of worship.
@M9QBLM4 roky4Y
Marriage should be seperated from the ritual, churches should not be required to marry everyone but, I believe it is financially a better decision to be inclusive of multiple no traditional types of relationships for marriages
@M9LP8R3 roky3Y
I think that all marriages should be called marriages, but the churches could have sacremental marriages.
@M98THR4 roky4Y
yes, Government has no business in this matter
@M87S2T4 roky4Y
I don't need the state to sanction marriage. It's a religious institution.
@M84PP84 roky4Y
Government should not be involved with this.
@M65JNB4 roky4Y
Why is the government allowed to define relationships?
@M5ZSRY4 roky4Y
Let the individuals, families, and churches to decide. Not the Federal government.
@M58RHB4 roky4Y
I don't believe marriage as long as divorce is legal. The decision to remain committed to another is a second by second decision and the glamorization of marriage has corrupted youth to unrealistic expectations of married life. religion, and the law have failed to prove marriage as necessary or a natural phenomena. no legal perks should be given to those who decided to make this oath.
@M2PSK83 roky3Y
Separate the religious and civil aspects of marriage. The government recognizes civil unions for all couples, gay or straight, then let the churches decide which ones they will recognize.
@LZPPCV4 roky4Y
Everyone gets a civil union, marriage can be done as a religious ceremony and each religion can decide who it will grant the rite to.
