Gay Marriage and the US Supreme Court

BBC News: Reports that the US Supreme Court heard arguments today on the legality and banning of gay marriage. 

Lets Get Real: 

This blog has come around to the idea that gay marriage is a Civil Rights question, thus lets hope the Supremes allow gay marriage, and over turn laws that ban same sex marriage.   It not easy folks, a lot of people would object to the idea that gay marriage is a Civil Rights issue, they argue that Civil Rights is about seeking justice for those that face restrictions based on gender or colour, one should not dismiss this view point, that is what liberals do all the time, what is needed is a counter argument that argues that we are in the 21st Century, Rights are about allowing people to be what they want to be, in way a Classical Liberal theory, or Conservative, as long as people are over the age of consent; 21 would be good age for gay or straight people; and people are not being forced to do anything they do not want to do then its should be open to the individual to do what he or she likes, the US Supemres should lead, its the right thing legally, and the Conservative thing to do, watch this space folks.
