Exactly my thoughts. So the court "rules" on gay marriage. What if the legislature in Mass. does diddly squat on the ruling and essentially ignores them????

Is the court gonna waltz over and b*tch slap the legislature in May???? Who's gonna enforce the 'courts' 'ruling'???? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

That's called anarchy. If the legislators feel they cannot, in good conscience, follow the court order, they should resign.

Well, this is my first post to Free Republic; I just registered. This MA ruling brought me here. I'm a life-long MA resident, and I'm so utterly frustrated, disgusted, and embarrased [to be a MA resident] right now that I really don't know what to do.

I used to not really care about the "gay agenda". I've known gay people; I don't harbor them any ill-will. I used to be generally in favor of the idea of "civil unions" to extend legal protections to homosexual couples.

But it is clear now that legal protections and civil rights is not what this is about at all. It's about altering the very definition of our culture and society, to suit the whims of a radical, tiny minority.

The manner in which the gay agenda is being forced down our throats is completely polarizing me - I won't even support civil unions now - the Gay community and their allies in the activist judiciary have made it perfectly clear what their agenda is, and I don't like it.

Then gay marriage will still happen. It doesn't take legislative action. The Court redefined existing terms in the law. They didn't order the legislature to do anything.
