The National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes will come out of the woodworks.
Douthat argued that by granting broad exemptions, the winning side could allow religious conservatives to surrender with some dignity intact. But in order for the proposed terms of surrender to be acceptable to the victors, they cannot be integral to the principle that was itself the object of the war. If there is a clear defeat, the terms of surrender must actually entail capitulation and not amount to an attempt to carry on the fight by other means or in other theatres.
To use a famous line from Winston Churchill gay marriage is not the beginning of the end but the end of the beginning.
The preponderance of data on gay rights today suggests that most Americans do not just support specific policies about same-sex marriage or nondiscrimination; they have embraced underlying values of full equal treatment under the law and equal access to opportunities. And if that is the great principle that has been decided by the decades-long culture war, the terms of surrender will need to be consistent with it.
Polygamy. Beastiality. Removing the age of consent. And persecuting businesses and Churches which do not go along.
What it means is that you’ll get an appointment card in the mail to present yourself at the nearest bath house and surrender for unprotected butt sex with some papa bear homo. You probably had better be into hard spanking in addition.
Mandatory homosexual relations as part of government school curricula.
I would posit that it is the beginning of the end BECAUSE it is the end of the beginning.
I've been asking the question for Years.
Age of Consent Laws and Incest Laws have always varied from State to State. Once the Supreme Court Federalizes Gay Marriage, everything must change to meet a the guidelines of a new Federal Statute.
This goes way beyond Gay Marriage, it strikes at the very concept of States Rights, or the lack thereof.
There will be no Legal remedy to outlaw Incestuous Marriage and Polygamous Marriage between Consenting Adults throughout the Country. I wonder what the Supreme Court will agree on as an Age of Consent? The Liberals will probably come up with 12 and the Conservatives will say 18. I don't Bestiality will be an issue since the Animal involved cannot grant Consent, yet. LOL
BI “marriage” is next. That will open the doors to multiple partners in a “marriage.”
Can homosexual couples even have “sexual relations”?
Hillary’s husband didn’t seem to think oral sex counted... “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
If the SC forces “gay marriage” on the states, it will end the legitimacy of the federal government. It will be time to support the dissolving of our political bonds. The time to fight for the preservation of our once great nation will have come to its end.
Every Christian symbol will need to be removed from sight because it will be considered a hate symbol. Churches and Christian organizations will lose tax exempt status so donors will not get write-off and donations will drop. The government will demand conformity or else.
Churches need not capitulate.
They need to change. Change their bylaws that is.
Redefine it this way:
“This church no longer performs ‘Marriage ceremonies’. This church finds that the word ‘marriage’ has come to be defined as something that is not supportable biblically.
Therefore ; This church will only perform, be used for, be associated with, Ceremonies of Holy Matrimony, as biblically defined, consisting of the uniting of one man and one woman.
Freedom from the ‘equality trap’.
