There is absolutely zero difference between the issues in the Loving decision and the issues surrounding proposition 8. Both cases involved the majority wanting to withold rights from a minority who they didn't approve of.
If you don't like the idea of gay marriage, then don't have one.

No reason to get frustrated or angry.
You always accuse people who disagree with you of being angry at some point. I assume it's after you walk away from they keyboard and punch a hole in the wall.
Well, if I
always do it then it certainly is a reasonable expectation. Are you serious? You are picking that nit? I'd ask for a cite, but you aren't going to provide one. I don't blame you. It wouldn't be worth the time or trouble. Grace may do it, but last time she did a wide grab of everything and at least half the few replies weren't related.

Your prejudice prevents you from thinking clearly.
The basis for your own thinking isn't clear or unprejudiced at all; it's rooted in hatred instilled by centuries-old religious beliefs. No legitimate, non-religious reason exists to deny gay people access to marriage, which is sort of the crux of the ruling.
You have no idea the basis for my thinking. Grace on the other hand has stated hers. Clearly. Multiple times. But if you want go the "Grace route" and project your own prejudices about what and why someone thinks a certain way, go for it. I'll admit it certainly makes demonizing other people much easier.

Except that one case involved a man and a woman and one case doesn't. Other than that little tiny insignificant detail, which btw the building block of society is built upon, they are the exact same.

So you are quoting an opinion that agrees with your own? Once more, you miss the point.
