The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear, once and for all, whether states should ban gay marriage. The court did not explain why it was not taking up the issue. This means that is left to the separate districts or the lower-court rulings. Utah's district, district 10, decided that states cannot ban gay marriage and it is unconstitutional. This means that our state has to allow same sex marriage. With the Supreme Court declining to hear the case this means that there is no national ruling on this matter. But, gay rights advocates still want the Supreme Court to intervene and provide a definitive ruling covering all 50 states. President Obama's view is that, "it's wrong to prevent same-sex couples who are in loving, committed relationships and want to marry from doing so."
My take on the matter of gay marriage is similar. Whether or not we ban same-sex marriage, people are still going to be gay.. Giving them marriage rights only benefits our country. In my religion we do not believe in same-sex marriage, but religion and state are different. We cannot combine church and state. Church is on private matters. State is on legal matters. I do not think that even if the Supreme Court were to have chosen to hear this case that the outcome would have been different. What is your guys' take on this situation?
I don't believe in same-sex marriage but everybody has the right to do what they want. I think that the situation has been handled pretty well.
