Federal employees were key to gay marriage court victories
The Washington Post ^ | 10/7/14 | Joe Davidson

Look behind the incredible speed of same-sex marriage judicial victories, including Monday’s Supreme Court decision, and you’ll find federal employees.

They are not high-profile politicians or appointed officials. You won’t find them on the Sunday morning talk shows or in the national headlines. But they have been in the vanguard of the marriage equality movement even as they toil in their everyday, low-key jobs.

The first lawsuit against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prevented the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, was filed in 2009 by a postal worker in Massachusetts.

Public employee unions are un-American.

Great criminal racket ain’t it?

This is treason and should be punished as such

A lawsuit was filed against DOMA by some sort of Mr. Male-Ma'am in Masschusetts, ergo federal "workers" were behind the SCOTUS inflicting gay marriage on America?

I'm not a fan of much of the federal workforce, but the logic of this article is just strained.

Well, the homosexual agenda is on the verge of forcing homosexual marriage on the whole country.

It started slowly, but bit by bit, a few states by court order, a few by legislation, and a whole slew of states by federal court order, climaxed by a Supreme Court order not to overturn or place a stay on lower court orders to change the definition of marriage.

So here we are. Homosexual marriage is now allowed in about 30 states. Add a few more over the next few years, and the Supreme Court will say, that since a strong majority of states endorses homosexual marriage, they will decree it was a constitutional right all along, and force it on the remaining states.

It doesn’t matter that most of the states will have had it forced on them by court order. The Supreme Court will rule that since so many states have permitted it, that it must be forced on the remaining states.

It’s just a matter of time. Then homosexuals will dance in the streets with their “Roe vs. Wade” or “Brown vs. Board of Education” landmark ruling that homosexual marriage is a constitutional right.

Curiously, relatively few homosexuals are getting married. It’s as if we have had this big push for the right to same-sex marriage, but then once achieved, many homosexuals don’t even want to get married. Go figure.

This was all done AGAINST the will of the American people. It is not normal, nor will it ever be. It is an attempt to legislate morality.

No one in this country is more contemptuous of the American taxpayer than the people whose wages are paid by the American taxpayer.

I pray a solid secessionist movement will form, and separate itself from the deviant sewer that America has become. An America that regards two perverted faggots as the same as a husband-and-wife is not an America I’ll ever support.

The purpose of the political maneuvers on homosexual marriage were not about Tom and Dick living in wedded bliss ... it was about putting the final nail in the coffin of the traditional family model. Destroying the family has worked wonders for the federal government workers unions (i.e., Progressive Democrats) by decimating black families and setting up vote farms in urban areas where the vote livestock are herded from unionized government schools to federally funded abortion clinics to welfare offices. They want to extend the destruction of traditional principles as much as possible because no matter how bad things get for taxpayers, the government unions benefit.

These “unions” he speaks of gain the participants health insurance.

Marriage gains the participants holy grace. Not available to homosexuals no matter what a lawyer says.

As the Apostle Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived, God will not be mocked.” The homos and their supporting cast are going to discover that very soon.

Well, even immorality falls in the morality category, although it is a perverse morality. The SC is still legislating morality, which is what the leftists proclaim they are against.

Bears repeating! I agree with you 100%. The destruction of the family, the demonic assult against biblical Christianity, the destruction of American values & founding of "One nation under God", are what these same-sex reprobate bastards really want to destroy. They could care less about marriage. They just want to destroy the traditional family & Christianity!

The country is collapsing more rapidly than anyone could have imagined. The only remaining question is what will follow in the aftermath.

SMASH THE PATRIARCHY
SMASH MONOGAMY
SMASH THE STATE

Such was the goal of radical feminists that founded NOW.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett

Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”

I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.

And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”

It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:

“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”

Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?

“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.

They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.

It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.

Two issues:

Tax liabilities for joint filing
Property and Asset Liabilities for no-fault divorce

Many of the same reasons that everyone else finds cohabitation popular and easy.
