agree, there is not one right we have that they do not.
They can marry the opposite sex just as we can.
Marriage is being defined to suit their sham marriage and we are all supposed to go along with all of it, no chance for this family

The Fourteenth Amendment played no role in this decision. In fact, I cannot determine any part of the Constitution that played a role.

ask the judge to cite the part of the Constitution where they found this

It’s not there.


Which means if falls under the purvey of the 10th amendment and thus to the individual states. Which is what the naive fools in the Senate and House thought argued would stand when Republicans held majorities in both during the Bush years and fought against an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman--it was up to the individual states. Needless to say, the left doesn't sleep, doesn't respect federalism, and is quite willing to shove their way through by whatever means they can.

So there you have it. The 14th amendment all but destroyed the 10th amendment--at least if you accept any backwards and nonsensical belief as adopted by whatever liberal pervert group happens to be next.

You are not “straight”, they are not “gay.” You are normal. They are abnormal.

From Webster: "Bigot" ... "1, a person who holds personally and intolerantly to a particular creed, opinion, etc. 2, a narrow minded, prejudiced person"

Friends ... Open your eyes. They are out there, they are humans, they have rights and they have wrongs.

What would you do if you discovered your son or daughter was homosexual?

God created sexual relations as a means of procreating. Since their actions do not lead to procreation, it is not sex. It is an act of deviancy. Therefore, the term “homosexual” was coined in error.

Why would that have anything to do with the nature of deviancy?

What would you do if you discovered that your daughter was a prostitute and your son was a burglar? Would you then champion their behavior?

Of course they’re humans. My sister is a lesbian. What she’s doing is wrong.

I'd accept them as family, and offer advice ... if asked.

If your daughter had an abortion, would you then accept abortion as a natural, civil right?

The objections largely concern the agenda that’s force-feeding homosexuality into Western culture.
