Agh. Just went to copy my post, and pasted instead... okay, short version:
Aineo,
"We believe marriage is a fundamental right already guaranteed to all citizens of the Commonwealth and that it is therefore appropriate to secure these rights through the judicial system, and it is the responsibility of the courts to ensure that no citizen is denied their fundamental rights." Josh Friedes, of the Freedom to Marry Coalition of Massachusetts.
Still waiting on an answer to why your ethics/faith cannot be "compromised," but mine should be. Nobody on my side is looking to make you get married (which would definitely be a violation of your ethics, not to mention your rights), but people on yours are looking to stop me from getting marriage... which is a violation of mine. Enforcing your faith on me... and I still have a hard time believing you don't see what's wrong with this picture.
Crystal,
The courts are only supposed to interpret and enforce the law, not make it... and honestly, there isn't a "right to privacy." Maybe there should be, but there isn't. But yes, they said it was legal, so it is... the question is, should they have said it? Morally, I'd say yes. Technically... maybe not.
I think marriage is a much clearer-cut issue. The last time it was disputed (interracial marriage), it was decided by the Supreme Court, not Congress.
