Marriage is an entirely religious construct. As such any attempt by government to regulate,tax, penalize, define, or limit marriage is illegal under the first amendment of our constitution. If one can find a church that will marry you to your dog, boyfriend or your houseplant it is between you and God.

He will deal with you in due time.......

If you want to share benefits or an estate, swear out legally binding contract that addresses those issues.

Then I guess it’s already ended.

Why 1973?

” The people have spoken. The silent majority is making it clear that they are there.

Today the Homosexuals have realized the consequences of pursuing their own “Bridge Too Far.”

The sleeping giant has awakened. This will have political ramifications far beyond Chick-Fil-A, et al.

This just may be the end of the forward march of the homosexual agenda for the foreseeable future.”

Homos are indoctrinating our kids through their good pals...the public schools, and the MSM. They don’t back down, and they believe they are winning the war on heterosexual America. I wish I could be as optimistic as you are, but I am not. We have to fight them every way we can, because they will not relent.

I’m not optimistic for the long run. Heck, when GWB was elected in 2000 I said all we did was put off the inevitable for another four years. Same thing here.

In the end, the Bible says it will get worse before it gets better. In fact, it says it will be the worst time in the entire history of mankind. When I first read that I imagined some horrible, but distant, future. I don’t see it as all that distant now. And I learned from how fast it took the German Jews to go from prosperity to gas chambers.

Bottom line: The homosexual lobby jumped the gun, but they are not done. Fortunately, this is one of their “two steps back” moment, as the arrival of AIDS on the international stage was.

yesSir, theres apt to be a lull in the war after this CFA era battle...but the queer zombies will always be back...

i continue to be labeled a 'hater' and 'intolerant' and a 'bigot' because i simply refuse to compromise on my God-Given principles to myself and, more importantly, for the guidance of my children...

baby girl starts school next week...out here in podunkville, i dont anticipate any queer agenda, but God will have to save the individuals that might attempt to push it in her direction...

individual queers, kill yerselves if ya like, but leave me and mine out of it, drop the agenda or expect payback in spades...

Undefining, and undermining, marriage as an institution is the goal all along.

And, along the way, if you can get Christian beliefs criminalized, all the better.

Count me in as a hater too...I hate leftist homosexual indoctriation of children, and young adults.

” baby girl starts school next week...out here in podunkville, i dont anticipate any queer agenda, but God will have to save the individuals that might attempt to push it in her direction...”

Better keep an eye on the curriculum. I don’t care how far out in podunkville you are. 90% of the books are leftist, and many of them are pro-homo.

The goal of homos are to destroy the institution of marriage, and the past 10 years, they are winning.
If they get near your kids (curriculum) smash theirs!

The state lets you have children with your intolerant views? I am surprised that the public schools head doctors have not interrogated your kids and used the results to have them carted away to some tolerant adult couple, preferably two men :)

Children are our future. We must make sure they are ‘educated’ to support the correct policies and set of universal rights and global responsibilities.

Gilbo should be able to see his own kids, supervised of course.

I know a fellow whose wife accused him of child abuse for spanking the kids (they had ADD which makes it a family court crime) and so she got full custody and he got ordered to make child support payments and alimony to her and but he got supervised visits, 5 states away from where they lived. His life is ruined.

If the Democrats' platform embraces this radical proposal, they will be voting to end marriage, not change it.

Destruction of traditional marriage and family has always been a part of the Marxist worldview.The traditional family is bourgeois and deprives the worker of revolutionary consciousness.

Secular humanists want the boundaries of marriage to be expanded to create more potential for human growth and self actualization.

Then I guess it's already ended. Why 1973?

Between 1967 and 1973, all states instituted unilateral divorce without damages (basically annulling all existing marriage contracts). There is no other form of contract that is construed to be terminable at will by one party with no recourse to the other party.

In 1973, the Supreme Court ruled (in the same term that gave us Roe v. Wade) that marriage did not impose any obligations on a man not also borne by single men with regard to fatherhood, thus rendering a man's marriage promise to support all children born to his wife during their marriage and not otherwise nugatory.

Laws against adultery were already in decline by the 1960s, and by 1973 there was essentially no enforcement anywhere in the United States.

Thus, the legal pillars of "traditional marriage" (permanence, fidelity, unique obligations to children) were all destroyed by 1973.

Since 1973, heterosexuals have enjoyed a novel and unique form of "marriage", which confers certain tax and property benefits but is not otherwise like traditional marriage in any respect.

No wonder homosexuals want in on it.

“Barney Frank has got to be one of the most unattractive and unpleasant spokesmen.....”

Isn’t that the truth! Every time I’m unpleasant someone calls me on it, how come that old fool skates? And I’m a lot more attractive....but that wouldn’t take much, would it?

I’m sorry about the man you mention, but he is collateral damage in the mind of America’s liberal majority. And I say majority, because look at the Senate, the presidency, and the courts.

I Should mention that they had lots of problems that caused the marriage deterioration that were not all her fault, or his either. Like having three kids in a row they really couldnt afford and having trouble paying the bills and the kids were always sick or getting into trouble as the marriage fell apart.

Ironically they were both evangelical outreach Christians, obviously they didnt convince anyone as their marriage fell apart.

But the endgame was she plotted to destroy him by kidnapping the kids to another state and going to a family court there and accusing him of child abuse and the other states family court helped her destroy his life.

As I have said many times. family courts are like Islamic justice where the females (typically) have all the rights and there is no due process, no judicial review, the process is held in secret and the courts can simply throw the parent in jail for anything. The family court takes away/suspends the fathers's drivers licence then throw him in jail for not showing up at a family court hearing, or if he does show up they throw him in jail for a driving there with a suspended licence.

The Homo Lobby is intent on completing the following:

1) Co-opt the public schools....they have in a big way.

2) Co-opt the print and video media....they have.

3) Destroy Christianity in the U.S.....they have thus far failed here, but with the left, the MSM, and the public school curriculum in their pocket, it is a daily battle.
