Which is a major objective of the homosexual movement's attack on marriage.
What they hate is the heteronormative nature of marriage, and government's recognition of same.
They want the churches to "take it all back" and government to "take it all back". How dare anyone say the truth, that homosexuality is a paraphilia, and inherently deviate?
They want so-called "hate-crime" (thought-crime) legislation on the books so that their lawywers like Evan Wolfson and that queer crowd at ACLU and Lambda Legal can march into court to make individual Christians and Jews, and indeed entire congregations, "take it all back" or give up their jobs, houses, savings, and property in retaliation -- exactly, by the way, what the Southern Poverty Law Center did to a rancher who tried to defend his property against Mexican illegal trespassers by calling in, as a last, desperate resort, a private ranch-rescue operation.
Eventually, of course, the official policy must become one of persecution, and of requiring little gestures of ..... good faith ..... along life's road, for everyone in society.
The argument “get governemnt out of marriage” is a Libertarian ploy to implement no holds barred faggotry and perversion. It’s that simple.
Governments of whatever sort have recognized marriage for millenia. Inheritance, legitimacy, protection of the family unit specifically children and wives - all depend on governments recognizing marriage as a specific relationship and institution.
It’s a prybar to destroy marriage with and insert their favored perversion and sexual vice as being equal to monogamous marriage between a man and a woman.
