Bob LaNinfa: Supreme Court can’t make something wrong right

I’m Catholic and I always believed marriage is between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court judges recently voted in favor of same-sex marriage. It’s none of my business if two people of the same sex love each other and want to live as a couple; why should I or anyone deprive them of their happiness? I have friends and relatives who are gay, but I will not attend their weddings if invited. Today, when it comes to political correctness, right is wrong and wrong is right.

My question is this: If the Supreme Court judges had to choose between a married couple of the same sex or one couple of traditional marriage to be sent in the future by President Obama to start civilization on a newly discovered planet, will all Supreme Court judges make the right decision? So far some judges haven’t agreed on anything that’s right.

Bob LaNinfa, Modesto
