I don't know if its just me, but I'm getting worried that we may be in the calm before a storm of a gay marriage tidal wave. I think that states like New York and Massachusetts will legalize it and that there will be a domino affect that goes throughout the country. I think it is concievable that 15 states would legalize gay marriage.
NY and MA currently have two strong anti-gay marriage governors who would not allow the legalization. But with the likely election of a Democrat to succeed Romney and the inevitable election of Spitzer combined with the state legislatures, its only a matter of time in my opinion.
Soon after that you could see states such as my state, NJ follow suit.
Also if Arnold loses, CA will follow too.
I think this is a major societal and moral problem. As each day rolls along we are more and more becoming like the secularist welfare states of Western Europe.
You don't understand. It's not about marriage at all, except as a wedge to further destabilize society. Homosexuals don't really care about marriage, the goal is a show of force for their side. They will NEVER be satisfied with any gains that they make - typical of the liberal mindset. Any advances will further enrage them.
Canada and the Netherlands are a peek into the future of what state-endorsed same sex marriage will bring. People are going to jail for merely speaking their conscience regarding this lifestyle, in the privacy of their own congregations.
Certainly. Let's mainstream guys like this.

Here's a list of Gay Days at family parks. How about Gay Day at Disney world May 29th to June 3rd 2007. Take the kiddies! Maybe they can view some guys like the one in the pic.
I'm sure thee are those that do not believe it is evil.
Don't give government a pass on marriage.
Anarchy is bad, any anarchy is bad, marital anarchy is also bad.
I'm worried about the younger generation only being fed one point of view. Where will we be in 30 years on this issue?
The thing is that if the sexual libertines get their way and all is permitted, people aren't going to be happier. We'll have too much social chaos, too many confused/addicted/lonely people; sexual predators getting whatever they want. People need a certain amount of structure. Freedom occurs within structure. The gay marriage folks don't understand that. They're pushing their agenda against the backdrop of stability that traditional marriage still manages to provide. In 30 years...??
Freedom is good, including marital freedom.
I think that you're getting worked up over nothing. NY's high court just upheld that State's ban on gay marriage. Here in CA, of all places, we passed Prop. 22 years ago that bans gay marriage. Most States explicitly ban the practice.
Anyone else concerned about a Gay Marriage tidal wave?
No not at all.
Freedom to marry dogs or multiple people or siblings or parents is not good. Freedom to marry and divorce at your whim is not good. Freedom to marry for the purpose of government handouts or insurance benefits or employer benefits is not good.
