I think this guy is right. Divorce was a big deal but now nobody cares if one gets divorced and remarried. The same will happen with gay marriage. There was an article in the NY Times about a Lesbo couple who got married in Oklahoma. All their friends showed up anyway for the wedding even though they opposed gay marriage.

I can’t predict what will come. All I’ll know is that it is a sign that America has fully embraced evil and degeneracy, and will no longer be a country I can hold any patriotism for, nor allegiance to.

Abortion is killing. Every abortion takes a direct hit at the social fabric. Not so gay marriage. It undermines the basis of civilization, but much more slowly and in more subtle ways. So perhaps Damon Linker is right here.

Still, it should be noted that Linker is a professional fifth-columnist whose only real accomplishment was worming his way into the editorship of a conservative Catholic publication in the hope of destroying it.

They can’t even convincingly demonstrate that anyone is hurt in any way by a gay wedding.

Heck, yeah, other than sodomy being one of the "4 Sins that Cry to God for Vengeance," I wouldn't be concerned at all.

The key thing that you are disregarding is that gay marriage is intertwined intimately with attacks on religious liberty, freedom of speech (ala hate speech codes), and increasing attempts to remove gender as a valid differentiator through gender queer nonsense. Also you mistakingly tie the ability to have a marriage ceremony with marriage liscensure which is NOT the same thing. Same sex couples have never been forbidden from having marriage/commitment ceremonies. This issue is not going away and the left’s continued push with transgender and public school indoctrination as well as hateful political correctness will ultimately be the undoing. Eventually this house of cards and nonsense about “being born this way” will fall apart. It always does. People wake up when their silly fantasies are displaced by the hard reality that their good intentions did not anticipate.

When a country surrenders the moral high ground, they have lost it all.

Your point is more apt than you realize.

Divorce has been devastating to child development and the consequent emotional stability of those children.

Gay marriage will also cause harm to children raised in an ersatz "family".

But hey, who cares about that.

To the state in the modern era all marriage has ever been is simply whatever judges, pols, or the voting majority think it is at any one time. And many have been conditioned to follow the state’s definition of marriage: a civil contract with strictures and benefits that can be broken and resumed between any parties the state deems acceptable.

“No one can claim that a person dies when a gay couple weds. They can’t even convincingly demonstrate that anyone is hurt in any way by a gay wedding.”

That is an absolute falsehood.

Gay marriage is attached to Roe v Wade and abortion and both prevent life and cause death. Death from disease and from the denial of reproduction via traditional marriage.

And to say no one is hurt by gay marriage is an absolute lie. Think or the baker forced to bake cake for the gay wedding or the kids adopted by gay married couples of the traditional families that are forced to live in the same neighborhoods as gay married couples.

You think this guy is right?

In view of the damage that has occurred since the Great Society; you think this is OK? I get it. You think the government should not be involved in marriages. It’s not the proper role a government should be involved in.

Well, aren’t you happy now? Look at what the government has left us as they kicked marriage and family to the curb some 50 years ago.

Ain’t our Great Society great?

I’m curious to know from those who agree it does not hurt anyone.

Is sodomy healthy?

I want clarification that indeed anal intercourse is healthy and does not hurt anyone.

Sodomy does not lower life expectancy.

We have cowered and played defense so long that we scarcely understand reality anymore. The Supreme Court recognizing homosexual marriage isn’t parallel to Roe v. Wade. Lawrence v. Texas legalizing homosexuality is what is parallel to Roe v. Wade. That is what we should have been protesting all along. It would at least make those espousing the homosexual agenda play defense a little more. If we continue as we are currently doing, we are just waiting for them to chip away little by little at what remains of the moral fabric of society. It is long past time to play offense. We couldn’t do any worse than what we are currently doing.

I want to marry my pet duck. Do you think SCOTUS will allow that?

I thought John Roberts`s was a good Christian man when he was first picked??? He may be supporting gay marriage now.

Divorce was a big deal but now nobody cares . . .

In reality—that is, measured by the actual effect on people who divorce, their friends, their relatives, their neighbors, their employers . . . and on subsequent generations—is that it continues to be a big deal, a disaster, in fact, and always will be. It's true that people once were aware of this, and then lost their awareness of the consequences. But my sense is that many more people are now realizing the danger of divorce to society, as statistics and people's personal experience have been piling up. Charles Murray's book, Coming Apart, is brilliant in showing this.

Murray would freak out at this suggestion: I think it's crucial now, because of the threats to freedom, virtue, and survival posed by the organized-sodomy lobby, to publicize the catastrophic physical and social harms caused by sodomy. It's important to realize that people are drawn into it because of their previous emotional damage, and it destroys them.

There's a terrific, beautiful, one-hour movie that everyone should see. If you start watching it, you will stay to the end—even if the "ick" factor of watching something about homosexuals is strong in you, as it is in me. It's brilliant. It's called Desire of the the Everlasting Hills (no, it isn't dirty), and it's a free download here.

Every single clause of the stated purposes of the U.S. Constitution is laid waste by abortion and pretend sodomite marriage.

It’s not about gay marriage. The gays want to force their lifestyle on the public and make them celebrate their perversion as healthy and normal.

Some around here have brought up the possibility of a new party as an alternative to the non-conservative Republican party.

Forcing society to recognize homosexual marriage would be the nail in the coffin. Many will no longer be looking for a new party but a new nation altogether.

Such a ruling will be an act of provocation tantamount to an act of war, starting Revolution 2.
