Thread Name: US Supreme Court sez Yes to Gay Marriage
Subject: RE: US Supreme Court sez Yes to Gay Marriage
Acme....."In the U.S. it is a right that has been restored to fulfill the full meaning of the Constitution in that the legal protection of marriage has now been extended to all. Period."

Please excuse me as I am not familiar with US law, but you say "restored", do you mean that this legislation was in force at an earlier time?
In the UK marriage between two people of the same sex has never been legal until now. in fact it is only legal in three of the four countries which make up the UK.

Additionally, marriage has NOT been extended to all. Period.
It has been extended to a small sexual minority.
