Weird how the queers win even when the “Supreme Court” refuses to hear their cases.

. . . all that was once deemed virtuous and good is attacked and maligned, and all that was once deemed vile and debased is promoted and celebrated.

An astonishing - and, I think, irreversible - transformation. But evil always loses in the end, and so we are probably seeing the enclosing years of the American experiment.

Point 1: While the court's liberal wing probably wanted to accept cases banning same-sex marriage in five states that have been overturned by three different federal appeals courts in recent months, the conservative majority, along with swing Justice Anthony Kennedy, apparently wished to see states resolve the issue.

Demonstrably false. The states have determined, in most cases, that they do NOT wish to support homosexual "marriage", and the courts have taken that right away from them. States cannot "resolve" the issue, except to give full throated approval to state sanctioning.

Point 2: For strict constructionists, the nonruling allows the culture to sort out the arguments consistent with what clearly are changing social mores.

Again, demonstrably false. If there are no mechanisms acceptable to a given appellate court to deny homosexual "marriage", then there is no means to "sort out" this garbage.

Point 3: The main arguments against permitting same-sex couples to marry are moral and biblical.

Not really. The main arguments include freedom of religion, faithfulness to millenia-long definitions of the word marriage, and recognition that what once was described as a disorder remains disordered. the moral viewpoint is a personal viewpoint for each individual. The biblical viewpoint is clearly a religious freedom argument (as in first amendment).

Homosexuality is STILL a “disorder” no matter how many folks says it isn’t.

We all need to remember that God is still in charge and nobody can let evil in but you as an individual. No matter how small a group we are, we belong to The Lord and this transitory short life is just that. Pray friends, pray unceasingly from the moment you get up until you go to bed. I’m not worried. It’s a blessed thing to be able to stand up to this evil and sin even if I’m all by myself. God is watching

Schools ban words like father/mother

[longtermmemmory]

we need a set of NON-biblical logic talking points that demonstrate why the institution of marriage must be protected.

We have too many idiots like J. Mccain who simple say “who cares?” (per his vanity fair interview) DC lawmakers live in their little other peoples money hedonism bubble in the beltway.
