Short Answer: On Tuesday the United States Supreme court refused to hear arguments from multiple states about the Constitutionality of a same sex marriage bans which had been overturned in those states. Effectively the refusal to hear the cases means that those rulings will now stand, paving the way for same sex marriages in more than 30 states across the country. What do you think about this ruling and the result? Be sure to tell me why!!!

I don't support same sex marriage because I don't think that is how we were meant to be like that. Although I do believe that some people are born with those feelings but I don't think they should act upon them and that it's a choice. The result doesn't really affect much but i think that they have a right to do what they please because its their lives.
