"No it does not simply mean “future generations”. Or rather, it does in terms of those generations not being illegitimate offspringNo it does not simply mean “future generations”. Or rather, it does in terms of those generations not being illegitimate offspring."

No, using the word "posterity" says nothing about legitimacy.

states have jurisdiction over who can receive a license...   ...that two homosexual lovers may be each granted a license to carry a firearm...

...states do not possess this jurisdiction. The Second Amendment is not undermined by the Tenth or the unconstitutional laws of any state at all.

Of course it's controversial, and that very well may be the reason that some states chose not to require any license at all, but all states have some legal restrictions and some follow though on a jurisdictional prerogative that exists in fact whether or not you and I like it.  We're digressing somewhat; this same (albeit controversial) state jurisdiction applies to marriage license requirement perogatives.

Asserting that jurisdictional prerogatives exist because such were exercised illegally does not make them legal.

Then avoid being snarky, like I do. The Founding Fathers insisted on the rule of law versus the rule of men.

That’s a lie. Bastards were and are never regarded as posterity.

A sane society means having sane people. The US went insane many years ago. Now with the almost certain legalization of sodomite “marriage” it has went completely insane. There is no going back. We are doomed. Stick a fork in this country. It was nice while it lasted. Which society lasted the longest, the Roman Empire or American Empire. In both instances, immorality brought was the reason they ceased to exist, or will cease to exist.

That's absolutely true, and likewise our mere belief that a particular action by the state is wrong doesn't make it illegal either --unless we've decided that we somehow possess the power of Ultimate Truth but I digress. 

Let's talk about what is, and we agree that like it or not states have in fact exercised the authority to determine what the requirements for marriage apply.  Up till now.  This bit with the left-wing statists making it a federal issue is bad news.  Talk about "illegal"...
