The article is false.

The supermajority of states have already voted no.

There is no debate, the supermajority of the country does not want to redefine marriage. case closed.

I know I don’t want marriage redefined. In fact, with the “no fault” divorce laws and more couples living together than getting married (at least the last time I saw a study on such a thing), marriage has already been “redefined” to be nothing more than a fling.

This is a left-wing and homosexual movement to undermine the family and bring acceptance to a perverted lifestyle that should be banned in public. Sodomy was once a crime and should be so again mostly based on common sense disease control.

Where does the road lead?

The road leads to the appeals of various other interest groups who can claim consent in their relationships. Polygamy already has a movement for its recognition in progress. Google words “polygamy” and “Jonathan Turley” to find a lawyer who has already argued polygamy be legal to the courts. If lawyers are jumping on the legalization bandwagon, it’s not neccessarily too long before a moral issues legality can change.

My gut tells me we will see the day where homosexual marriages will be the law of the land and yes, there will be unintended ramifications such as polygamy.

This will happen because the homo lobby keeps on pushing.....push, push, push, all with a lot of support from the left, MSM, Hollywood, Academia, etc.

But this won’t be enough. The homo activists will target churches, who will likely lose their tax-exempt status for not marrying the homo’s.

Once we drive down that slope, there will be a lot more than just Tea Parties who are mad as hell.

My wife and I have done it so well and so far beyond what anyone else could possibly do, that the institution of marriage has been redefined in ways not easy to comprehend.

Right honey?

Curious use of defining a group who has legitimate rights associated with an being an illegitimate [group.]

Sexual preference always disturbs me as being worthy of even being described as group who deserve special rights.

Why aren’t horse race gamblers a special group from dog race gamblers then? Shouldn’t they get special rights too?

And then there is their argument about being discriminated against like a minority group or women, which is baloney as one can clearly tell are different by merely looking at them. The same is not true with a homosexual/s so how do they qualify as a legitimate group singled out for discrimination again when they ARE a group within every group???

One cannot tell a homo unless they tell you or you ask, so again, a phony farce of an argument by the homos.

The whole argument of Homo’s deserving special rights is a farce when you break down their own arguments.

Do we want to?

Me personally? No, it’s worked for me. Society itself - yeah, I think the fact is that a significant segment wish to revist this, so fair play to them.

Yes, of course. To be progressive is to reject everything that controls. All ethics and behavior that have a shred of confining religious pretext must be damned. In the Utopia of Progressive America there will be total equality of wealth, of gender, of education, of everything.

Marriage is of no real value in a society of total freedom and no rules. The wealth of accumulated civilizing knowledge is actually poverty. The precepts of civilization are chains.

To solve the progressive problem there must be a revolution and massive blood in the streets. Otherwise, it will never end. It can not be eliminated by any other means.

I hate this argument. It’s as if polygamy is any worse than gay marriage. It’s clearly not.
