I'm not worried about the gay tidal wave, its Gods response that worries me.
It is impossible for people of the same sex to marry.
It is impossible for a person to marry an animal or a knothole.
Of course the people who accept the corrupted meaning of gay might also accept the corrupted meaning of marriage.
How would it affect you, if it did happen?
I sort of welcome some state legalizing gay marriage.
Given the threat of a court decision holding that "the full faith and credit clause" would impose those marriages on all fifty states, the minute one state legalizes gay marriage, you'll see the rest of the country suddenly DEMANDING their GOP Senators sign on to the defense of marriage amendment.
It would lead to a morally devoid society which I would be a part of.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court,by a single vote,declared homosexual "marriage" to be a right here.The deciding vote was cast by the Chief Justice,a South African Maoist married to Anthony Lewis (yes,*that* Anthony Lewis).
We,like some other states,have an initiative petition process in our Constitution.There's a move afoot to put the question to a vote of the people.Homosexual "rights" groups and several slimey state legislators are doing their best to prevent this because poll,after poll,after poll here show that it would be *soundly* rejected.
Yes,it's true boys and girls....the same voters that send Kerry and Kennedy to Washington time after time wouldn't approve it.
Here's your leading edge, maybe.
Now gays will have the wonderful opportunity to be like lot of straight people...
locked in loveless marriages just to keep the cash stream and benefits package intact.

Some gay folks will soon be recalling the "be careful what you wish for" saying.
And they'll wonder "is this the liberation we lobbied for?".
How would that be any different than what we already have?
I hope not, but I really wonder. After all, the voters of California (twin state to MA) recently voted against being notified of their minor children's abortions.
Why do we care? Seriously. How is gay marriage going to ruin my life? Will the gay people tell me that I can't stay married to my wife of 12 years? Let's not get all upset over the gay people.
Get government OUT of marriage!
I'm against Gay marriage but, I'm also sick of hearing about it. We've got some other pressing issues that need our attention. (Survival comes to mind)
You've got a point there, since everything is just perfect now.
"Gay marriage" appeared on several state ballots and was voted down. Some of those votes were blocked by judges. Anybody know what's going on with the court cases?
It's another step down the slippery slope. What is really going on here is forcing society to accept their behaviour. That includes Christians who believe the behaviour to be sinful.
They will tell you that it's about insurance and wills but that's bunk. You can will your assets to anyone and name anyone on life insurance. Health insurance is a different matter. There are serious health risks with this sexual behaviour. They want the consequences to be paid for by others.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Edmund Burke
Or as another wise man counseled,"Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way."
Can't you find another broken record to screech at us?
