You can buy flags at any number of places and can fly it freely on your property without any repercussion from the law or goverment.

So you're telling me that a baker has the right to NOT make a wedding cake for a gay couple? You're also telling me that a pastor doesn't have to marry a gay couple? That individual States can choose not to allow gay marriage?

Seeing how the federal government is making people do the above, I'd say personal preogative and freedom is being taken away from the people.

I may be off base, but isn't that the type of thing that started the Revolutionary and Civil War? States being able to govern their own laws.

Those first two examples are totally unlike the third. If a baker doesn't want to serve a customer or a pastor does not want to marry a gay couple, that's entirely a matter for them as private individuals. They can presumably choose to do (or not do) the same for African-Americans, Hispanics or Jews. Probably not great PR or good for business though.

Your third example queries whether a State can enact legislation to override federal law and discriminate against an entire class of people by denying them the ability to enter into the contract of marriage. In fact, I don't really understand your point.

I think we can all agree that Junior Galette is a d*ck though.
