still not sure why people oppose gay marriage. opposing people has nothing to lose and it's a win for everyone else.
How do I benefit from this? Please explain.

Well, I still prefer mariage to be a government issue than a religious one.
My prediction is that the Supreme Court in a narrow 5-4 decision will affirm Prop 8 on the basis that Marriage is a state issue not a federal one. Individual states will be left to determine what constitutes marriage.
The issue aside I am curious why the popular vote from the people of the United States can/should be overturned by a court. How does that represent the people better than the people voting themselves?
With the ease of divorce and the numbers of children born outside of a marriage, the government should no longer be involved in marriage. The problem is, How do you get out of it?
I just think they should be seperate. Religious folks have rights too, including to restrict things because of their understanding of morality. Let the government marry people of the same sex, and let the churches decide whether or not they'd like to participate in it. You may or may not agree with the religious organizations decision, but you don't have to participate with them either! And, taking away one persons rights and giving it to someone else isn't any more equality. Like it or not, agree with it or not, religious institutions also have rights!

Too bad Apple has to be PC like most other big corporations. What if someone wants to marry two women, or a man wants to marry a woman and another man, or wants to marry his dog. Should we be supporting that too because it might affect his workplace morale?
The Supreme Court exists to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.The issue aside I am curious why the popular vote from the people of the United States can/should be overturned by a court. How does that represent the people better than the people voting themselves?
Interesting (and very poor) comparison.
You equal the marriage of two human beings with that of canine?

Their CEO is gay, what would you expect?
Well this is a big DUH.
Considering Tim Cook is gay.

So since we are breaking this barrier, I can marry my dog now right?
I think your dog would be too smart to marry you.
The comparing gay marriage to beastiality tripe gets old.
A marriage is about consent. It involves both people understanding the institution and their willingness to enter into it.
Animals cannot speak, much less demonstrate any kind of understanding about human marriage. A human could never prove that an animal gave its informed consent so a marriage between man and dog wouldn't be allowed. This renders the "What next?!?!?! Humans marrying animals?!?!?!" argument laughable to anyone with a brain.

The Church doesn't have a monopoly on marriage... although they're close to a monopoly on bigotry.
I don't see why some people automatically equate two human beings (who are of the same gender) getting married with marrying an animal.If you and your dog wanted to I would not be offended or see an issue with it or try and prevent it, and neither should anybody else
