They will. Adults having sex with children is the next item on their agenda. But they will get to polygamy before very long.
This is a well-written article.
“If preventing gays from “marrying” is so obviously unjust, why didn’t anyone, including leading liberals, think of it until relatively recently?”
Well, first they had to wait until it was “removed” from “The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” as an aberrant paraphilia.
[you know, like pedophilia, necrophilia and zoophilia]
Because the "speed of thought" is slower than the speed of common sense.
Maybe it’s advanced so fast because people are stupider, or at least more ignorant. I cannot convince one young person who isn’t already wholly on my side that it has nothing to do with equality, or at least individual equality, or that “discriminating” between homo- and heterosexual couples isn’t naziesque. It always goes ne saying “Single gays are just like any other single person.” Then they say but they can’t get married, and I say, “They can marry whomever they want, so long as they’re the opposite sex.”
This will not stand in their minds. They say but gays don’t wanna marry people of the opposite sex. “So what?” I’ll try explaining the difference between status and contrast, the legitimate state interest in various forms of discrimination, etc. Nothing could be falser than the myth that everyone is equal before the law. Are men and women? Try walking into a ladies room, or harassing a male as opposed to female coworker. Are the young and old? Obviously not. Are murderers and nonmurderers. Now you’re comparing homosexuality to murder? “No, you ignoramus.”
It doesn’t work. If being gay isn’t bad, not necessarily good but unbad, then there must be gay “marriage.” It has so been decreed.
It’s a good question. I have read a lot of pre-80’s sci-fi, mostly from the 50s and 60s. Never read anyone come up with ‘gay marriage,’ lots of polymorous relationship grouping, never ‘gay marriage.’
If you would have told someone in the 60’s that something called ‘gay marriage’ would be recognized by the state before polygamy, they would have thought you were wacked.
Of course for the state, the definition it uses to recognize the institution is simply whatever judges, pols, or 51% of the voting public think it should be at any one time. Many have been conditioned to think that marriage comes from and is defined by the state, as little pieces of paper. The paper denotes a contract between any parties the state approves, and brings strictures and benefits that can be broken and resumed as long as the state again approves. The state says ‘gay marriage’ is possible; therefore ‘gay marriage’ can exist and is possible for many.
Makes you wonder what the state will consider marriage in another 50 years. The answer is whatever judges, pols, or the majority think it should include in 50 years.

Years of propaganda on TV and in the movies. Spineless politicians who are deathly afraid of raging fang-toothed feminazis. Normal people afraid of being called bigoted. No surprise that it happened so fast.
My liberation ideological brother Philip, married his homosexual lover at my liberal father’s house, in Mexico, prior to Philip’s terminal years fighting for his life in St. Louis. HIV went to full blown Aids in a very few years.
HIV caused illnesses including severe neuropathy from the chemo cocktail, then in full blown AIDS,renal destruction and failure, advanced pneumonia, near complte optical nerve destruction and blindness, paralyzing brain lymphoma, and ultimately death by brain seizure from lymphoma—on January 9, 2006! Just past a seven year death anniversary for his short life, Age 42.
These are the fruits of an homosexual lifestyle and gay marriage. The liberal propagandists do not tell you about the illness. They do not tell you about the heart crushing multiple symptoms of Aids and the unhealthy personal relationships in a gay marriage, they do not tell you the “marriage equality “ means almost certain death by Aids.
In the end, a certain Rabbi in St Louis made a spiritual breakthrough with my brother Philip. Rabbi Randy explained to Philip that God had invited him to dance, to dance a final dance with God, of joy and acceptance of terminal illness and going into a final resting place under the protection of God. We rent our clothing, and then sang Ode to Joy at the funeral. It was a beautiful loving end, to a life cut short, by cultural relativism, abominable behavior, a false sacrament of man to man marriage, a preverted view of the validity of homosexual marriage, illicit dangerous disease ridden sex practices, many painful and blining illnesses, death from cancer caused by Aids, and ultimately, I pray, redemption and forgiveness, justicemwith mercy for Philip having chosen to dance finally with God in seeking eternal rest.
Fruits of gay marriage, in my family, are perversion, illness, blindness, death and sorrow. Thei is why I support Life, Freedom, and Marriage. This is my experience.
I miss Philip and love him: Philip, i love you, rest in Peace.

Homosexuals have never been denied the right to marry; what they have been denied (at least until now) is the right to change the definition of marriage.
Vita Sackville-West (same sex lover of Virginia Woolf) was married to Harold Nicolson, well-known as a homosexual. Woolf herself - an icon of female homooerotic literature - was married. Apparently both Sackville-West and Nicholson had active sex lives, mostly not with each other, yet maintained a continual relationship and raised at least one child, as I recall.
In the Communist Manifesto, Marx says that he not only wants to abolish private property, but also family, morals and religion. He’s very clear about it.
It will soon be a hate crime to resist a homosexual advance.
