You're ignoring the fact it made it to a vote.

Even North Dakota rejected a push to overturn same-sex marriage?! When North Dakota is showing more sense than the GOP, you know the Republicans have gone too far.

They couldn’t get 8 Senators to call for a recorded vote. Had the vote been recorded the outcome could have been different; the margin definitely would have been.

People need to stay out of everyone else's bedroom. We don't have to like what others do, but guess what not everyone agrees with our decisions or actions. People need to mind their business.

libertyonfire.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Democrats need do bills like the gop does. Make a bill banning straight marriage, it's discriminatory. Ban Men from all restrooms since they can just go outside. Ban bibles from American soil just bcuz. Ban beef tallow fries. Change the name of the white house to the Black lives matter crib, etc.

It says something about North Dakota, I suppose, but sadly changes nothing about the overall trajectory. SCOTUS begged someone to send this to them. Someone will.

On this particular issue, I think maybe enough time’s gone by where even some of the bigots have loved ones who are gay, married, and have kids. Like how the Cheyne’s daughter came out and then they weren’t quite as bigoted.

That and one of their gods, Peter Theil, is gay, married, with kids

Just prove to everyone how same sex marriage hurts other people? The only reasons you guys ever come up with are things people like you do to LGBTQ+ to begin with.

That’s the way it should be. If you are not gay no one forces you to marry someone of your own sex, so why would you keep marriage as a right for straight couples only. Love is love.

simplyunbelievable.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because these self righteous people think they have the right to judge others and they do not.
