Problem is the churches allowed the state a say so on the concept of marriage by submitting to state marriage ‘licensing’......play with a snake and eventually you’ll get bitten.

5 lawless individuals, including one homosexual woman cannot redefine marriage. There is not a single major religion east or west.that defines marriage as being between 2 men. Most humans on this planet and most countries do recognize homosexual marriage.

You are soooo RIGHT! This is only a much faster way to break US....SS must be borrowed to dig us more deeply in debt. Social Security for all....the working taxpayers AND the freeloaders with their hands out. The Resident on our oo has become SUCH a PRO at the shell-game. Follow the money and you shall find a pot of gold.
BENEFITS for all ‘his’ people is now expected from WTP
One can only ‘hope’ the questionable conservative justices received their due portion.

Actually, the Constitution has been Redefined. The Gay Marriage fiasco is a diversion.

The United States of America has become the States United of America. The Communists, Democrats, Liberals, Obama and the SCOTUS pulled off what the Soviet Union couldn’t in its Prime.

All Power now originates from the City of Tyrants, Washington D.C.

What next? Now we fight to keep religious freedom for all.

Do you want to know what scares me? Our Jewish and Christian practices will be lumped in with Sharia law. No one sane wishes Sharia law to be the law of our land, but our practices will be seen in exactly the same light as their sadistic rulings. We need some very VERY smart lawyers on our side fighting for the right to worship and practice as we do.

We all have to this day enjoyed full religious practices and worked these out with our country’s laws. We have rendered to Caesar. But will we remain free to do so? Will there be laws against some of our holy practices soon?

I don’t pretend to know what things would first appear on the endangered list for Christians. I worry about being free to circumcise our sons for Jews. What if laws are passed against it? We Jews do not need to worry about gays buying our wedding cakes; there is no prohibition against making cakes for an anonymous public. But there are so many ways our practicing Our religion can be impeded. Yeah, it’s all been tried before. And never say “it can’t happen here.” It happens everywhere we go.

I think a primary reason they want “marriage” recognition is for spousal health care benefits,

No, the goal is to remove God from the equation because they want your rights to come from them not God.

“Marriage has NOT been redefined.”

Amen.
Delusions have been legalized.

Have you ever wondered if the end game to all of this gay pride crap is to make them bold enough that they come right out in the open, where they’re easy to find...later?

Many states already allowed for spousal benefits, inheritance and even health insurance for homo couples.

That is not what they really want.

They want to validate their own defiled practices by forcing normal people to applaud them.

Not a one of them feels “normal” or “right”, or they would not pitch such self conscious fits about it.

If that happens, they won’t feel so creepy, then.

How many of us have ever felt the need to force heterosexuality on everybody else or have a straight pride parade?

This all boils down to a mental disorder and guilty/seared consciences denying sin.

Marriage hasn't been redefined. Some people are just choosing to mislabel dis-functional perverted relationships as marriage.

Also, the "...has been..." phrase hints at a finality. I hardly believe that's the case. There will no-doubt be further mislabeling. What's next? Polygamy? Bestiality? Necrophilia? Pedophilia? If one perversion, homosexuality, is now so acceptable on what grounds could anyone exclude these others? Seems they are all going to be fair game for the perverts to push as main-stream.

I think you are 100% correct. I know or have known over a dozen homosexual or bi-sexual people. Every single one of their lives is a string of damaged and dis-functional relationships. There is not a one of them with a long-lasting, stable relationship. They all have a series of broken relationships, ever-changing employment situations, ever changing living arrangements and locations. Every single one of them has experienced or participated in unfaithfulness in their relationships.

They are, every single one of them, broken, messed-up people. They have more problems that any hetero couples I know. They have more insecurities and relationship issues than any two hetero people I know combined.

For the most part they are ok people in other facets of their lives. Yet their messed up personal lives always end up intruding in some way on the other areas of their lives. They are moderate to high maintenance friends and family, which is why none of them are close. I just don't have the time nor energy to put into dealing with the drama that perpetually surrounds their lives.

Religions should adopt terminology for marriage that is unique and apart from the state. There’s no reason to accept the state’s definition of marriage any longer.
