Glenn Beck: Marriage Equality Not a Threat

Our country is not based on "majority rule" for a reason...it is really "mob rule". If the "majority" had it's way, women would still have no right to vote or own property, blacks would still be second class citizens, and there would definitely be no interracial marriage. None of these changes were the wishes of the "majority" of the voters at the time they were changed. It is unconstitutional to deny a segement of the population the same rights as everyone else simply because a religious point of view disagrees. Of course, even those who proclaim the religious point of view don't follow all the "laws" of the bible such as stoning non-virgins and adulters or how about marrying your sister in law if your brother dies without children? It would be so nice if people would educate themselves on a subject before they spout off their views as facts.

Wow, I am surprised. I can't believe this. I almo's liked him for one N.Y. min.. Amazing..Almost..

Honestly, I kind of believe what he says. Churches should be able to not marry people because they are private organizations and having the gov control them is a violation of separation of church and state. Obviously, if your church doesn't want to marry you find a new one! I don't think he's lying. Most people don't yet support marriage equality so clearly he isn't doing any pandering

"When is the majority vote not law." When the majority is voting for a civil right for a minority. No matter what the circumstance, the minority always loses. Prop 8 was unconstitutional from the start. The law is there to protect a minority against the tyranny of a majority. The judge rightly decided the case on the overwhelming evidence that same-sex marriage poses no threat in any way to society, and the complete lack of any evidence to the contrary. I'm in a heterosexual marriage, and I have no more right to prevent gay people from marrying than I have to prevent my next door neighbor from going to work every day. It's his choice and none of my business.

When is the majority vote not law. When you live in California. What is going on in our society that when we have elections, we vote, and now it has been overturned. Is not the rule of law the majority? I am sick and tired of this crap. We all need to stand for something, and I stand for majority rules, no matter what a JUDGE SAYS. It was a fair vote and it should be upheld no matter what. Marriage is between a Man and a Woman period.

I shiver whenever I hear these guys say anything about going "back to the way it was"...I wonder though, back to the Bush years? The Reagan years? The Eisenhower years? The Hoover years? And what "faith" is Glenny hoping to have lead us? His fantastical ghost based faith? Surely not my no-superstitions or invisible entities based beliefs?

He still is a mormon, and he most likely would be one of the first to support any type of constitutional discrimination against us. Like O'Reilly, I don't believe he is being sincere.

Thanks Alex I didn't catch that. Rite is what he said. This guy is not our friend, he just senses that we are winning and wants to stay on TV.

This is a true statement, now that the Prop 8 ship is sinking fast, now we'll be seeing many of those who were against our same sex marriages walking and parading themselves at the head of our pride parades....nobody cheers for the losing team, and journalists like Glenn Beck will be right up front. What hypocrisy! Cheers, kudos and thanks to the judge who had the cojones to stand up for equal rights. Here's to Life, Libery and the Pursuit of Happiness! Hey State of New York, now it's time for YOU to wake up!

On the comment: "that is a religious right." Is it a "right" or a "rite?" In this case spelling is incredibly important because the two words aren't anywhere close to the same thing. If it's a "rite" he's right...
