In America, Gays can now get married. Love it or Leave it.

You are so FUCKING blind. You bitch about this "gutting the 10th amendment" when you bat NO FUCKING EYE on Congress saying this violates the 14th amendment.

Gay people had to pay taxes whether they were married or not...

I suppose the short form of your post is, "the real winner of the gay marriage decision is Big Government."

I think you just need to stop hating everything that the government does, because it's not all a ploy to make gays pay taxes, it's not a ploy for subjugation, it's simply just a ploy to give human rights. It doesn't matter if in the past marriage was a social/political/religious institution, this is the 21st century, we're not int the 1600's. If it were, you would be executed being a member of the LGBT community as you say.

I also think marriage is a joke and a waste of time, but the right to marry means a lot to the people who wanted it so i'm happy for them. Even though i don't give a damn about marriage, i see this as being less about marriage itself and more about gay people having the same rights as straight people. So it's more of a symbolic milestone.

Yes, and while I am happy for the whole gay rights movement I nevertheless retain bittersweet feelings regarding this "victory". This is a win for gay rights, but at what price and what ramifications is this to have in the future? That's what's heavy on my mind. The Supreme Court effectively just gave "marriage equality" to this country on a silver platter, but any wise man knows you never trust a silver platter.

More like a distraction from the TPP. There are actually tax advantages to marriage, and Austrian Economic hacks and Chicago Schoolers like to spin the narrative but Singles are taxed if you hadn't noticed, it's not like gay people weren't already being taxed. And really, the USA is late to the party and patriots should be ashamed that it took this long to catch up with more civilized countries on marriage equality, homosexuals were being systematically legally persecuted and discriminated against in the United States and while people celebrate this there never should have been persecution to begin with and it certainly shouldn't have continued for as long as it did.
Oh and people in free countries decide their own reasons for getting married, you don't get to tell them what it's about. It could be about love and emotional security, to secure a stable arrangement for child rearing, it could be purely a business like transaction and honestly I don't think the government has any business investigating to find out. People get married for all sorts of reasons and marriage has existed in all sorts of cultures including horizontal tribal cultures where there are no elites, it's not just some conspiracy crafted by some elite to control society. Stop watching Alex Jones.
