I’m sure some are actually against interracial and gay marriage, BUT, the reason they voted against it is because for example, a gay couple came to a catholic priest, or anyone else who personally doesn’t believe in gay marriage, and asked them to perform the ceremony, they are naturally going to refuse. This bill would have made them both criminally and civilly liable. That’s not right. I don’t care who marries who, but don’t try to force your beliefs down others throats.

I agree with the other commenter but I want to add that it is true that changing the law wouldn't prevent people from having marriage ceremonies, though. I knew people who were in same-sex marriages before Obergefell (in a red state).

They had their ceremonies and celebrations just the same as usual. It's just that when the rubber hits the road and, say, one of them ends up in the hospital and the other isn't allowed to visit because they're not "really" married-- situations like that-- you see how the legal rights and affects of a state-recognized marriage are unjustly missing.

If overturned they could stop an interracial marriage just like they would a same sex one. It would become nullified and simply not recognized under the eyes of the law anymore. There have been a lot of legal conversations about what would happen to same sex spouses if Obergefell v Hodges was overturned and I assume the same would apply to Loving v Virginia.

Go fuck yourself you self righteous piece of shit. I guaranteed if your water, plumbing, or electrical did not work, or if your roof collapsed you would need an alleged rube to come and save your pathetic ass. By the way I totally support the bill at face value, but the scumbag politicians always load other bullshit into them
