Gay marriage in Utah takes step back: #tellusatoday

On Monday, the Supreme Court halted same-sex marriages in Utah while a ruling that overturned the state's ban on gay marriage is being appealed. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

Those opposed to gay marriage are on the wrong side of history and are fighting a losing battle.

I think marriage is only between a man and a woman.

The Supreme Court took a huge step backward Monday for the state and America. It's time to get on the right side of history.

The people should have their say. Take a real vote. The majority wins.

I am ashamed to live in Utah. We should not be able to vote on any human's rights to life, liberty or happiness.

It's about time the will of the people is upheld! Judges should not legislate from the bench.

— @brenda525

Are people fighting for marriage or for the government/legal benefits of being married? Civil union is enough.

— @EnkiSpeaking

The government has no business licensing, subsidizing, or offering incentives for the religious rite of marriage.
