“Traditional marriage is the fundamental unit of the political order. And ultimately the very survival of the political order depends upon the procreative potential embodied in traditional marriage.”

“Those are the well-tested, well-proven principles on which we have relied for centuries,” added the judge.

Finally, a judge who actually gets it!

Wow! A real HONEST judge. They’re really rare these days. Most judges work for the DNC.

I read about this the other day. He based his ruling on a Supreme Court ruling that defended marriage and said that there was no such thing as same sex marriage.

To bad Puerto Rico is not a state, it is a commonwealth of the US. This will fly in the face of all the other states of the US Union - How can a judge in a commonwealth Territory rule that the US Constitution and the Supreme Court has abridged the decency of marriage - in that there is no such issue as same sex marriage. A man marries a woman that is final - it is traditional understanding. How can a man marry a man and a woman marry a woman - it is not natural to do so, nor is it God’s plan of human existence. The law of nature must prevail to a certain extant - male and female species exist for procreation. same sex marriage is not possible. Unless mankind is like an Amoeba and can propogate itself, it is a freak of nature for man and man, womamn and woman. So basically even the US Supreme Court is in violation of the Constitution

The only sane place in the U.S. is the place that isn’t a state.

And to think how many so-called conservative elected officials have just waved the white flag on this.

Many people have waved the white flag because we live in a politically correct world now.

And they are afraid of being called homophobic.

That’s where we are at. Sadly this is the state of our union.

Nice to find a judge with intestinal fortitude.

““Those are the well-tested, well-proven principles on which we have relied for centuries,” added the judge.”

Exactly, and those principles have been around far longer than the 14th Amendment.

He gave us some great secular language to use in arguments against queering the meaning of marriage and family. Although quoting the Bible means everything to me as a Christian, we will start winning when we engage in secular language to shoot down the lie of “equality.” They don’t have the “right” to dismantle society for their sexual pleasures and habits.

They don’t have the “right” to dismantle society for their sexual pleasures and habits.

Nor do they have the need to.

This has NEVER been about marriage rights for homosexuals. Granted there are some homosexuals who want to be married, but the left doesn't actually care about them as anything more than a tool to advance an agenda.

The population control movement began as a way to limit the reproduction of "undesirable" races and classes of people. But eventually the left realized that it could also be used to advance the notion of sex without consequences.

The whole "Free Love" movement wasn't about equality, it was about destroying the traditional family. Today we live in a society where about half of all babies are born out of wedlock, few people even question unmarried people living together. Over half of marriages end in divorce, so even those children who are born to married parents will oftentimes not be raised in a traditional family.

From the mid-1960s until about ten or fifteen years ago, the left said NOTHING about marriage as a desirable institution, their entire agenda was based upon marriage being UNNECESSARY and even demeaning to women. However, they couldn't get people to stop getting married, they hit a roadblock and couldn't get Christians to stop talking about the sanctity of marriage. So, they adopted the homosexual movement and convinced homosexuals (a group that largely bases relationship on the sexual act itself rather than any sort of commitment) to demand marriage "rights." The left IS NOT doing this because they care about homosexuals (they don't care about them any more than they care about the poor, minorities, unions, etc., they are simply another leftist voting block), the left is doing this to devalue and ultimately destroy the institution of marriage for the rest of us.

A moral and principled man with common sense and true understanding following the wisdom and truth of the Constitution and we had to wait for a judge governing Puerto Rico to finally make the correct ruling.

Still trolling, eh, trumandogz? Oh well, you’re subtle enough that one can see how you fly under the radar, unlike re_nortex, who’s obvious trolling should have been noted ages ago. Is life that boring for you guys that you have to play this game? Carry on, if it makes you happy.
