Virginia (1967), interracial marriages were legalized in the United States. The Supreme Court Justices at the time ruled on an issue that dealt with "manners of family law". The Supreme Court was not set in place to uphold "tradition", it was established to ensure equality. Therefore, other than the Supreme Court, no branch of government should dictate or interpret our rights. This topic of same-sex marriage is a religious and ethical issue. Even if the United States did not have a separation of church and state, you would not and should not trust the state legislatures to rule without bias, given that 70.6% of Americans follow the Christian faith. What is even more alarming is that recent surveys reveal that almost 92 percent of Congress follow the Christian faith. Yes, not all Christians condemn homosexuality, but this is still a religious and ethical issue that should be reviewed impartially. This cannot be achieved by any branch of government, central or state, except the Supreme Court. Fri, 11 Sep 2015 11:27:04 +0500
