I don't really believe that, because traditional marriage came about to protect children, women and property.

Gay couples can go to a lawyer and draw up a package that gives them all of the responsibilities and privileges of marriage.

Then they can put on any kind of ceremony they wish.

This is about co-opting an institution and forcing reluctant, discreet people to engage in a display of validating and celebrating something they have no desire to validate or celebrate. This is about power.

You are absolutely correct. They want to overthrow thousands of years of recorded history in order to exhort power over others.

They want to re-write our 1st Amendment religious freedom by having Congress craft a law which forces churches and ministers to act contrary to their faith, or receive consequences for “discrimination” for staying the course.

They are attempting to use the power of the federal government to establish their religion and ease their guilty consciences.

Exactly, if anything that “evolution” moves what they are doing far beyond any coherent version of “marriage’ and into the category of “business relationship”.

Yet that Institution must be degraded in the mind of Liberals under the guise of misplaced “inclusiveness”.

It’s foolish of course, but most Liberalism is foolishness.
