The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to intervene in the same-sex marriages law in Mass. Truly a sad day for America.
marriage is already destroyed.
You said it
Any of the nine judges, including Scalia, would have done the same. This particular appeal had no chance--it was basically asking a higher court to rule that the very idea of judicial review in the states was unconstitutional. No way.
There is no basis, following Lawrence and Goodridge, to deny polygamy.
None whatsoever.
It won't take a year.
Isn't Homosexuality on the increase? Isn't there a better chance your children will be gay today than 40 years ago?
Face it people, we all could be gay. Just as we all could be fornicators, adulterers, perverts, gamblers, pedofiles, alchoholics, child pornographers, polygamists, bisexuals, bigamists, if we choose to.
They got out.
I live the Socialist Republic of mASSachusetts, but not for long. I refuse to live in the state that wants to begin the decline of western civilization
Explanation please. On the face of it your comment sounds silly, but I'm sure you've thought it out.
It would also come as a surprise to anyone that has actually READ the Bible.
One less star in the crown of the leader of the free world.
We invented the term "open marriage", not gays.
We promoted the notion of a no-fault divorce.
Straights invented wife swapping, swinging, and cohabitation.
None of those things ever impacted the sanctity of MY marriage, because the existence of evil does not overshadow the existence of good.
At best, there are apostates mocking the sacrament of marriage, and civil magistrates conducting civil unions.
The sanctity of my marriage is not impacted by the actions of either heterosexual or homosexual individuals.
We are giving GOD the finger.
Provincetown is booming. It is just about impossible to find a caterer or a florist who could handle another wedding this summer. The Crane and William Arthur invitations are ready to go out and the shoe stores on Cape Cod are stocking up on white satin high heel pumps - size 13E.
How does it feel to know your marriage is on the same level as this perversion.
But we're not talking about individual marriages, are we? We're talking about the institution of marriage. And if two guys can get married, why not two guys and a gal, for example? And thanks to the full faith and credit clause, if I understand this correctly, can't MA use that to shove their definition of marriage down the rest of the nation's colective throat? If so, marriage as an institution is meaningless.
I live in WA state, my senators are to the Left of the ones in MA...well, except Kerry, the Leftist of the Leftists.
Read my tagline.
War in Iraq, beheadings, prisoner abuses, terrorism and murder....solution? Gay Marriage!
