Off to Daily Mass.

I'll be saying a prayer for our nation.

[who knows what evil?]

Exactly...two queers cannot become one flesh...this nation is under judgement right now because our attitude toward queers is ‘whatever’.

[Viennacon]

I always say that it is the property of religious institutions. Churches, Mosques, synagogues, etc. If you don’t believe in a God, I wouldn’t call that marriage. It’s more an easily dissolvable union of financial interest.

[Biggirl]

This will simply make the Church will go its own way and not obey any changes in any law.

[Biggirl]

THe churches will simply not obey and keep it the way it is out of civil disobedence.

[novemberslady]

I don't believe it's anybody's business who I marry.
(or how many I marry).

Imo, marriage should not be used as a propaganda tool to advance anyone's agenda.

Tomorrow might be in favor of libtards

Yes, the Lib, Progressive model of marriage is gay, not Holy Matrimony.

Brokeback Mountain was about two Married Cowboys shirking their wives and children for a mess of putrid pottage. The left wants us to eat that pottage on the road to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Bad modeling bring bad results.

[sr4402]

Nope. See my #12. Washington is all about lawyers ... Congress is lawyers, those who deal with Congress are lawyers, there are a zillion law clerks and just-graduated lawyers dedicated to representing the firm whatever the firm wants them to do. The flourishing and enriching of the legal industry is everything Washington is about. I'm just plain stunned that most people don't grasp this.

Yes, and what married people don't understand is that the end of DOMA signals the end of the marriage tax deduction.

[Sacajaweau]

I got married by the church. The state recognized my marriage. Will the state force my church under the law to marry homos??

The state recognizes marriage to protect children. It's not about adults at all. Things like SS confused the issue.

[Travis McGee]

[ImaGraftedBranch]

“...AND the new Prop is defeated in large part due to hispanics ... “

Wouldn’t that be something? God giving us what we need, instead of what we want. We see very little, and think we know all.

[Neoliberalnot]

Yep, and look what profession has put the US in this mess. I have been saying for a decade that lawyers should not be allowed to own/hold political offices.

[OneWingedShark]

Even the founding fathers used judges to marry, were they wrong too and maybe you are accused of supporting the homo agenda is because what you say is helping to support the homo agenda just like those said let them have civil unions etc

I actually haven't said anything regarding civil unions, one way or the other, though I've replied to those who have.
The founding fathers weren't perfect, so just because the practiced something doesn't mean that it was right. (Having people born as slaves, for one example.)

[onyx]

Right on!

[onyx]

Thank you so much for the thread, sweetie pie.

[onyx]

BTTT

[onyx]

Yep.

[MarkRegal05]

Not much time left, in theory. It almost feels like everyone’s holding their collective breath.

Final prediction: DOMA’s going down in flames (pun intended). 6-3, which the press will breathlessly label as “sweeping” and “decisive,” barely concealing their joy.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Welcome, darlin’. xoxo

[wolfman23601]

I don’t know. The court usually rules in favor of the Federal government and refuses to check their power. This usually favors the libs, but not in this case. I have a hunch DOMA will be upheld and Prop 8 sent back to California.
