The last year marked a number of milestones for the gay marriage movement, as it adds to its list of legal and legislative victories, earning approval from a majority of Americans along the way.

On the legislative front, six states, Rhode Island, Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, Hawaii and Illinois, legalized gay marriage in 2013, with marriages taking place in each state save for Illinois, where the law will be effective June 1, 2014.

The quickest way to kill the drive towards ‘Gay Marriage’, is to kill off the IRS.
With no marital benefits for non-working spouses, then the desire to “tie the knot” disappears.
The main thrust will be to get the Federal Government out of the marriage business. Marriage isn’t mentioned in the U.S.Constitution.
The America-hating, anti-God atheist movement has done bad either. Their war on Christmas blitzkrieg is really on a roll this year. It’s already bigger than the Nazi blitzkrieg in the Ardennes back in December ‘44. Yikes! Tomorrow in December 16th. It’s been 69 years!

And next year will see even more “progress.”
I predicted this a couple of years ago and was robustly chastised on this forum for doing so. I don’t approve, but I do recognize the trend and where it is headed.
Take government out of marriage and they’ll lose interest.
Nope. This campaign has very little to do with marriage.
It’s a campaign to enforce not tolerance but celebration of their behaviors. It will continue till any who disagree are driven into the shadows, much like anti-Semites and open racists have been.
