If the homosexuals had proposed abolishing civil marriage 20 years ago, they’d have been tarred and feathered.

Now even a bunch of conservatives on FR think it would be the most reasonable thing to do.

This has ALWAYS been an attack on marriage and the traditional family. Always.

“Now even a bunch of conservatives on FR think it would be the most reasonable thing to do.”

Enlightened people know that state-sponsored marriage came from a time when women were second-class citizens. It was a means of passing on property legally, and ensuring paternity. We no longer need government to do either, and women are perfectly capable of entering into their own freely contracted relationships.

There is plenty of literature, more than 20 years old, from writers conservatives generally approve that repeat this point.

Conservatives are for smaller government Marie. Don’t you get it? Why have the government dictate civil marriages when the churches can do it. You make no sense as a conservative. Perhaps you are a big Republican Government type...I don’t know.

agree but there will always be some loons who think that Govt should never have these kind of laws.
What they do not understand is that not having these laws will present total anarchy and all sorts of weird marriages.
Man goes into hospital but his kin and wife is the dog.
Hospital by law now has to let the dog into hospital because of this new marriage
If it is not broken then don’t change it, something these so called progressives cannot understand and instead want to try their new pilot schemes.
What they do not understand is that this is about to them to destroy tradition and how the country was founded.
