[quote]Senator Marco Rubio outlined his plan to reverse the Supreme Court's decision on gay marriage and wipe out protections for transgender people if he is elected to the White House next year.
"It is the current law. I don't believe any case law is settled law," the 2016 presidential hopeful said of the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide in an interview on NBC News's Meet the Press on Sunday. "Any future Supreme Court can change it."
It's not so much an issue of restricting liberty, but one of states' right to their own legislative determination, the Florida senator told host Chuck Todd.
"I don't think the current Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate marriage," Rubio said. "What is wrong is that the Supreme Court has found this hidden constitutional right that 200 years of jurisprudence had not discovered and basically overturned the will of the voters in Florida, where over 60 percent passed a constitutional amendment that defined marriage in the state constitution as the union of one man and one woman."
In an earlier interview with Christian Broadcasting Network Wednesday, Rubio also promised to overturn President Barack Obama's executive actions to protect the LGBT community, including "on things like gender equality in restrooms," referring to an order Obama signed in July which prohibits federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT people. The order could potentially force federal contractors to allow transgender people to use bathrooms according to their gender identity. [/quote]

1 ReplyA marriage is bewteen one man and one woman. A marriage is for two people who love each other enough that they are willing to reproduce. Gays can't reproduce. If they want to be united similar to a marriage, civil unions exist.

Edited by CobraMate: 12/19/2015 12:22:41 PMHey now, all i see if ppl talking about guys. Does no one think 2 girls being attracted to each other weird but me? I mean girls are sexy and curvy and oh man don't get me started i actually can see y girls would be attracted to other girls now that i thought about it...but thats weird. Its just as weird as two guys imo. Deadas females be having on their to-do list to kiss another girl at some point in their life....maaaad gay, dont believe me? Go and ask all ur female friends and see if they kissed a girl b4 or say they would try it, BET most say yes. Does no1 think thats weird? Sad thing is ppl encourage it and girls think its ok so its almost normal.

1 ReplyLet the -blam!- do what they want. It's not affecting me getting pussy. If a man loves a man, let them be. Why should we care about their attractions and beliefs? Gay people aren't getting in the way of me getting pussy, so fucck it!
