Here in Germany the conservative party has prohibited same sex marriage from becoming legal. Just a sentence by the federal constitutional court forced them to legalize it...
We know that certain truths are not self evident to them and that their failure to understand those certain truths you and I hold to be self-evident is as large as their desire to be scorned.
Just don’t understand what took them so long. The side that’s supposed to be for it had enough majorities in the past to get it done. Hopefully this will be a chance for some republicans to flip their idea on it and promote more love. It would definitely help everyone out going forward
The way it was explained to me is leaving Supreme Court precedent as the reason something is considered constitutional is generally better than trying to get it through Congress, unless it is going through Congress as an actual amendment to the constitution (this is not).
Wasn’t really necessary before, as the Supreme Court had already ruled on this. But with the court going back on some progressive decisions (Roe, mainly) it is feared that gay marriage may be next.
I don’t understand why it even needs to be voted on. If two, or three or however many people love each other let them marry, hell let them buy a hippopotamus if that’s what they want. All the real issues in the world and there’s really people worried about whether John and Joe should be allowed to be married. It’s crazy.
I dunno why people and politics are still arguing about this. Why can't people just live their lives how they want? Sad to live in a world where people can't love whoever they want...
I honestly don't see the point. Its covered under article 4 of section 1 of the constitution with "full faith and credit", seems like making an entirely new law to cover something thats already taken care of is just pandering. The government enumerating things that are specifically allowed by the law allows for the future argument that something isnt explicitly covered under the law and therefore illegal. The government should not be in the business of marriage anyways, so this is a strange thing all the way around.
Too bad that’s not what is actually IN the bill. It’s about using the IRS to attack any religious organization that doesn’t agree with same sex unions. So, at its heart, the bill is about religious persecution. 99.9% of Americans don’t care if gay folks get married. My gay uncle is married. It’s about forcing everyone to agree with a singular viewpoint.
Cause there's a commonly spread image following a format of some kind. This being an "advice animal" type of meme, popularized by meme formats like "advice dog" and "philosoraptor" they're an older format but are still somewhat popular today. Hope this helps!
Here's a permanent solution. How about we just keep the government out of personal stuff like marriage? It's supposed to be between consenting adults. There shouldn't be any laws regarding marriage at all
I vote republican but I have always voted for same sex marriage......I feel like THEY are trying to tear US apart..I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SMOKE WEED AND OPEN CARRY MY GUN AT MY GAY FRIENDS WEDDING
This doesn't do a damn thing. It allows states to nullify gay marriage and doesn't require them to recognize them if they are performed in another state.
Frankly I dont think the government should be alloud to make any decision on marriage. It's a religious ceremony and practice it should be left up to the church of each respective religion.
they should do this long time ago tho. theres nothing wrong about same sex marriage thats their life. as long as they still go on the same toilet , dont complain about maam/sir thing and start dissecting kids. theres nothing wrong about gays and lesbian.
Getting my news through Spongebob memes really is something
Ha! Yep
Yeah.
I read senate and my mind instantly went to palpatine.
Same energy as the dark side.
He may be evil, be he’s still a champion of equality
Kinda sad that this is something that has to voted about.
Here in Germany the conservative party has prohibited same sex marriage from becoming legal. Just a sentence by the federal constitutional court forced them to legalize it...
fuck pride. it's a w for people!
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Dammit the homophobes got here before I could warn everyone
We know that certain truths are not self evident to them and that their failure to understand those certain truths you and I hold to be self-evident is as large as their desire to be scorned.
They did??!? Woop woop!!
Ish. Not all the way.
I thought this was a Star Wars meme idk why
I am the senate
Here before 🔒 award
Here too before lock award
Just don’t understand what took them so long. The side that’s supposed to be for it had enough majorities in the past to get it done. Hopefully this will be a chance for some republicans to flip their idea on it and promote more love. It would definitely help everyone out going forward

The senate finally did something based? Damn I guess a stopped clock really is right twice a day huh. I hope the comments are supportive
All bigots should eat a large bowl of shit on this day ☺️
And should drink a large glass of piss
[удалено]
Gaaaay
Aw, thanks :)
*sorts by controversial
bro who is fucking opposing it, i shouldn’t be constantly hearing about it, it should just be “yea it‘s legal” why these governments be like this!
37 republicans... some of which are in interracial marriages...
Even some republicans voted for cloture on this one. A broken clock is right once every few years or so
Me when I find out that my church supports it!
Enjoy it while it lasts
I think the results came in and the house of representatives is republican now
Massive W to that government
Cuba is a w for pride too they're legalised same sex marriage
First the senate THEN THE WORLD
I think you're overestimating americas impact on the rest of the world
mostly west countries but most asian and african countries will never allowed it
Even when all of humanity dies and the world ends forever there will still be a lot of the world where being gay will be illegal
No.
This makes me so unbelievably happy.
This would mean so much to me.

Beautiful day for people like me

It's a start. Let's keep going.

The senate is pretty rad
Can the house tank this?
Nope. They'd have to win the Senate and convince 12 Republicans to continue hating people.
Anyone on the right could try to tank it by taking it to federal courts. With the current supreme these days who knows!
Why should we bring politics into this wholesome sub

We thought that abortion was constitutionally protected but …
Exactly!

I thought this subreddit was for getting away from politics and the like. Doesn't this break rules #4?
Rule #4 is no trolling or harassment. What does that have to do with gay rights?
How is this a meme?

Not wholesome
Plot twist: it's pretty wholesome

sniffles
How do you repopulate
Do you think everyone is going to be gay now???
Earth doesn't need more people. We have just enough.
Someone doesn’t know about science
Bro skipped human geography
Miss me with that gay shit
Nah
I vote republican but I have always voted for same sex marriage......I feel like THEY are trying to tear US apart..I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SMOKE WEED AND OPEN CARRY MY GUN AT MY GAY FRIENDS WEDDING
Democrats don't want your damn guns. But your friends probably don't want your guns at their wedding.
Why do you want to open carry at a wedding? It’ll ruin the flow of your suit or dress! Concealed under the arm or on the thigh is better.
You want to do those things, but vote for the party that would have your gay friends put against a wall and shot.
I don’t agree with the gun thing specifically. However I do agree that people should vote based on the issues, not the party.
...so you claim to support gay marriage but only vote for the party who's aggressively anti gay? You don't actually care about gay people
Why are you guys downvoting
This person votes with you...
Sounds like you don't have much reason to vote republican then?
This doesn't do a damn thing. It allows states to nullify gay marriage and doesn't require them to recognize them if they are performed in another state.
It DOES require them to recognize out of state gay marriage, actually :)
Can we just fucking stop with all the damn politics
Funny how some people's identity is "politics" but other people's not
This is a meme ¿
Disgusting
politics here, politics that, politics up your fucking ass too!
Somehow it wasn’t “politics” back when gay people were sent to jail for being gay 🤨
Steven Armstrong
Good for you I guess (and also good for many others)
why
Yeah the senate thing is cool but seeing lil 16 homophobe redditors melting over a SpongeBob meme is enough to make me rest happy tonight
i never understood why some people are so against others having rights. didnt jesus say not to bug others or something?
Disgusting
Your Child's gonna be gay
Bruh this isn't wholesome this is just straight up politics go post this on a politics sub
Shame
[удалено]
It's just SpongeBob. Calm dawn.
Look away from the mirror
CNN has warped your mind
Fox has warped your mind
Why should someone be gay
Because the alternative is dating you, I assume. Either that, or you know. Why not.
You're saying it like people have a choice on the matter.
Why not?
Because it’s not a choice to be gay.
Guys don't you know the meme lol 😂
Frankly I dont think the government should be alloud to make any decision on marriage. It's a religious ceremony and practice it should be left up to the church of each respective religion.
Then you wouldn't be allowed to be covered by or cover your spouse's medical insurance.
Marriage isn’t religious. It’s a legal right that grants tax benefits and legal protections
nothing should be left up to the church if the church had it’s way I’d be dead
Wrong
No, its a legal ceremony, political marriages and marriages in exchange for gold or land predate religious marriage by milennia
You know thats originally the "nobody cares" meme right? :D
You do know the original scene is him popping out of a box and telling squidward "imaginaaaaaaation"
Whats the pride in being mentally sick lol
The pride comes from pissing off dipshits like you 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Gays begged lying criminals for permission therefore they deserve nothing
You beg them every day to not take away your gun but you don't see us complain!
They meaning the POWERS THAT BE... Multi billionaires whose names you and I don't know...look we have no choice...
I want what you're smoking, jesus fuck you're deslusional
Don't worry. It'll be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Yay government!!1!! Wooo
Let's hope it never happens.
they should do this long time ago tho. theres nothing wrong about same sex marriage thats their life. as long as they still go on the same toilet , dont complain about maam/sir thing and start dissecting kids. theres nothing wrong about gays and lesbian.
You really just jumped from a normal thing to a slightly annoyance conervatives blow out of proportion to a serial killer mentality.
you had me in the first half, not gonna lie

[удалено]
No one says you can't smh
You’re right. You have to be gay now. That is definitely what gay marriage being legal means.
