Gay “marriage” is a mockery of a sacrament that most religions (Christian and non-Christian) consider holy.

I considered it to be equivalent to conducting baptisms with dog excrement instead of water.

Marriage is an institution only to the view of the State. The State has implemented civil unions to satisfy the needs of the non-religious and homosexuals to throw a party and and so that homosexuals can pretend their arrangement has legitimacy.

But it is not marriage, and calling it marriage only destroys marriage.

...the poor dears seem to want it both ways...to conjoin with out having to recognize traditional faith backing marriage, while at the same time recognizing traditional secular advantages backing marriage...

...though I’m not sure what advantages they’d be losing by simply acknowledging the conjunction as a civil union...that seems to satisfy the situation the best...obviously thy’re after something else, the total destruction of faith based culutral mores, most likely...

“Marriage is an institution only to the view of the State.’

And the view of the state is simply whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public thinks it is at any one time. That’s all it can be, it was always a danger. Pope Leo XIII warned about the danger of the modern state changing the definition it uses to recognize and manage the institution 130 years ago.

The shame of it is the state has the power to punish those faiths that will never buy into whatever impossibility the state is calling marriage at the time.
