The Supreme Court should not strike down a state law , called Proposition 8, which states that marriage is between a man and a woman . It has been approved by California voters in 2008 , legally . And also , no need to challenge the Defense of the marriage Act , which was passed by Congress in 1996 , under which same-sex marriages that have been approved at the state level, are not recognised by the federal government .
The U.S. of America consists of 50 states , 5 territories , and one district ( Washington D.C. ) .
if the federal government makes laws that say different things from the state laws , people only have to follow the federal government's law because the state law is not a law any more . Each state has a constitution of its own different from federal ( National ) constitution .
The same-sex marriages issue should be lasted in federal government's laws . Don't disturb the civilization of the America .
The same-sex marriage persons have been living together as parters without any family life and human being generation .
I think , the same-sex marriage should be really meant a double persons marriage or same-sex doubles who are not same-sex couples . God bless with all Americans !
Laws against same-sex sexuality .
A sodomy law is a law that defines certain sexual acts as sex crimes. The precise sexual acts meant by the term sodomy are rarely spelled out in the law, but is typically understood by courts to include any sexual act which does not lead to procreation. Furthermore, Sodomy has many synonyms: buggery, crime against nature, unnatural act, deviant sexual intercourse. It also has a range of similar euphemisms.[43] While in theory this may include heterosexual oral sex, anal sex, masturbation, and bestiality, in practice such laws are primarily enforced against sex between men (particularly anal sex).[44]
In the United States, the Supreme Court invalidated all sodomy laws in Lawrence v. Texas in 2003. 47 out of 50 states had repealed any specifically anti-homosexual-conduct laws at the time.
Some other countries criminalize homosexual acts In some Muslim nations (such as Iran) and African countries it remains a capital crime. In a highly publicized case, two male teenagers, Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni, were hanged in Iran in 2005 reportedly because they had been caught having sex with each other
