Lawsuit threatened after gay couple denied marriage license in Broward
By Paula McMahon Staff Writer Posted February 24 2004
Gay activists and attorneys in Florida were quietly and carefully monitoring how the legal campaign for same-sex marriage was going in liberal states like Massachusetts and California.
Some said they were waiting to see how the laws would be interpreted. Others said they wanted a legal dream team to find the most sympathetic examples of same-sex partners who wanted to marry and were willing to fight the battle.

This celebration of lawlessness and perversion spreading across America and nobody seems able to stop it. The nation seems to have lost it's moral compass and the result is just depressing to watch.
Not a lot of range there. Even the most "sympathetic" example is not going to cut much ice with the 60-65% of the population who are really, elementally opposed to this. I think Bush did the right thing today - now his campaign apparatus needs to support his position by informing some of the morons in this world who don't realize that a "state's rights" position on this, absent anything else, is capitulation everywhere. I heard a dim witted talk show host this afternoon suggest that a constitutional amendment is not necessary - that we should "leave it up to each state". This is precisely the problem and the reason that an Amendment to the Federal Constitution in needed. Some people never read the Constitution, but the full faith and credit clause would have the effect of exporting gay marriages to all 50 states, regardless of where they were performed. Like a Vegas wedding chapel, only perverse.
That isn't newspaper. It's the Constitution.
Oh I think there is outrage. It's just that the media would have you believe otherwise by choosing NOT to cover it.
This is so absurd. What happens when a son "marries" his own father? Or his mother, etc,etc.
The queers have just pushed it too far this time. They amount to less than 5% of the population and should not be paid this much attention to in the first place. At some point their "in-your-face" activity is going to backfire on them.
I've met a lot of queer men. My best friend in high school's dad decided he was gay or bi-sexual or gosh knows what. His mother was OK with it because my friends dad made big bucks. And besides, mom was bombed on booze all the time. Anyway, his dad had all these gay men over. And then started a business in the Houston Montrose area. Constant parties. I met 100's of queers. Many attempted to "convert" me to their "ways". That was a joke. Some got hurt.
One thing I learned was that almost all these guys were self-loathing and pathetic people. Oh, they might be "happy" and just "bubbly" but inside they were ALL messed up. Or, they were mean SOB's. In your face types. The "gay and proud" types. Which I expect are very happy now that they are making society consider them "normal". Which has been the agenda for decades now. Make queers "straight".
I say fine. Put big hairy guys tongue kissing on prime time network TV. Or, why not show men having oral and anal sex on cable? It's normal, right? Just like two men getting married is normal. And that's where they will go next. Mainstream queer sex. That's the next step.
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
3But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
The Man of God and the Word of God
10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra--what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
