Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards?

    In this case it is. All 50 states are required to perform gay marriages as of June 26th, 2015. The ruling took immediate effect nationwide. Clerks were having to hand-edit marriage licenses to allow for same-sex certificates because within an hour of the ruling people were showing up at courthouses to get married in states where it had been illegal.

    Churches aren’t required to perform same-sex marriages nationwide, however.

      Pretty sure churches aren’t required to anywhere in the US

        Correct. And I appreciate that. A couple wanting a religous wedding should know that the pastor that’s blessing the union supports them.
