Supreme Court Gay Marriage Ruling

As a diehard libertarian, I have to admit that I was quite pleased with the recent Supreme Court decision in defense of gay marriage. I have a few friends and many patients who are homosexual and have been mortified to witness how gay people have been treated like second class citizens in the eyes of the law over the years. I do sympathize with people who oppose gay marriage on religious grounds and feel that celebrating this decision excessively would be rubbing it in their faces. Some of the most kind and generous people that I have ever known are deeply religious and are offended by the concept of gay marriage as well as this recent Supreme Court ruling. I know that many of these people are concerned about the level of moral decay in this country and perceive homosexuality as just another example of this growing immorality. My advice to you would be to continue to pray for those around you whom you believe to be living in sin and to keep your hearts open to everyone. What I know in my heart is that the individuals on both sides of this argument are EXTREMELY GOOD AND CARING PEOPLE in general. As long as we remember this and are respectful to each other, I am sure we will find a way to peacefully coexist without violating anyone’s individual liberties.
