Those two things really can’t be reconciled. Portman will have to abandon one or the other.

No Southern State WILL EVER VOTE IN SODOMITE “MARRIAGE”.

and besides his son Will’s depravity will only cause his life to be a blighted disaster

Whatcha' gonna' do when you're surrounded with propaganda about how wonderful the sodomite's lifestyle is.

Even Disney has homosexual characters getting written into various children's shows. You have Billy Graham endorsing Hillary Clinton for presidency . . . a person known for her sexual weirdness . . . you have a sodomite living in our White House . . . you have all Christian anti-sodomites being portrayed constantly on TV shows as 3-toothed hillbillies or Bible thumpers . . . and laugh-tracks to show them as idiots . . . Oprah, Dr. Phil, you name it, unable to find the homosexual lifestyle particularly filthy, dirty, very unhealthy, and life shortening.

Add to that the images of men in ads, especially white males. I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings ad for “teams that didn't make the NCAA basketball tournament” and they show various white males not knowing how to dribble a basketball or shoot properly. In today's age, it is virtually impossible to show certain groups as a target. Imagine showing a hockey, volleyball or lacrosse ad in which a team of blacks “couldn't compete”? It would never be aired. Gays are cool, smart, gentlemanly and fashionable. Too many Americans are easily duped by these standards.

NC voted theirs in by 61% last year. That’s the same % CA voted in prop. 22 in the year 2000. So in 2012 NC basically tied the state of CA 12 years before. That trend doesn’t look too positive for me.

As far as a southern state never voting in ‘gay marriage’, no state anywhere would have done so 20 years ago. 20 years from now? 30 years from now? ‘Gay marriage’ wasn’t even an issue 30 years ago.

Yeah it’s bizzare for young voters it seems to be their number one complaint about the Republican party. Doesn’t matter if Obama is one of the reasons they have to live at home burdened with 60k in student loans without a job....

The gay-controlled media sure wants people to think that it’s a number one issue.

“Those who oppose it fear it will weaken the institution of marriage. But so far I haven’t seen evidence that extending marriage to the 3 or 4 percent who are gay has weakened the institution nearly as much as the much larger number of Americans who get divorced or have children without getting married at all.”

Michael Barone says, “hey, marriage is trashed anyway, let’s do it in”.

This, after Bill Bennett, this morning, professing to be an educator opining on this with no research. Then professing an opinion that is the opposite of Catholic teaching, and professing to be a Catholic, vocally , this very morning. He is dangerous He professes opinions cloaked as fact.

And Bill Bennett and Barone, here, do NOT understand the consequences.

Do they have any idea what this is doing to the military chaplains?

It IS religious persecutions.

Bill Bennett is a liberal dangerously professing to be conservative. He’s entitled to his opinions and to voice them, but to profess to be conservative and, God forgive him, Catholic - on the air - and to voice an opinion that leads public opinion without studying anything about it.

Dangerous.

wrestled with how to reconcile my Christian faith with my desire for Will to have the same opportunities to pursue happiness and fulfillment as his brother and sister.”
...........................................................
Will doesn’t want the same opportunities as his brother and sister. Will wants to plug up his buddies retum with his tool and call it marriage.

It isn’t marriage, It’s sodomy, and if the Senator wants that for his son, he is as sick as his on.

"But so far I haven't seen evidence that extending marriage to the 3 or 4 percent who are gay has weakened the institution [of marriage]..."

One of the downstream results of the deconstruction of marriage, sex and gender (and that´s what this is) is that it will become illegal to even favor, advocate for, or try to strengthen, real marriage.

Exaggerating? Not at all. They´ve already shut down Catholic Adoption Services in IL, MA, and CA because they wouldn´t place kids in homosexual domestic arrangements.

They´ve made it a crime (in CA) to counsel a minor towards normal psychosexual development, even if both the minor and his parents have requested help in supporting normal gender identity/sexual orientation.

They´re penalizing anyone offering wedding, marriage, or family-related goods or services --- friving them out of business business if they don´t cater to sexual deviancy.

Gender confusion in very young children is not even being recognized as a problem: it´s a desired feature, even a proud achievement of the new revolutionary gender system!

Who´s it going to hurt?

It´s getting harder and harder to find anyone it isn´t going to hurt.

Watch.

He wrote that on learning that one of his sons is gay he "wrestled with how to reconcile my Christian faith with my desire for Will to have the same opportunities to pursue happiness and fulfillment as his brother and sister."

And does Portman think he has somehow 'reconciled' God's express warnings against homosexuality with his need to feel good about himself?

Young people, including many Republicans, heavily favor same-sex marriage. Elderly people, including many Democrats, heavily oppose it.

Proof that the young and dumb can be brain washed and not only on gay issues.

Yes, progressive control of education, the MSM, and most internet mammoths pretty much guarantees anybody under 30 will feel that way.

I stand by my statement. No Bible Belt state will ever vote in queer “marriage”. The only reason this abnormal BS has won in any state is because billionare liberals from out of state pour in millions and millions of dollars to bribe lawmakers. That is exactly what happened in Washington State. And in Washington State you have uber liberal Bill Gates, who loves to give away his millions to support more baby killing, queer “marriage” or any other liberal cause you can think of.
