You will be assimilated or you will be persecuted.
OK I’m already irritated with something unrelated to the story.
What the hell is with this “Here’s why” crap? Vox is the first to use it now I’m seeing it all the time.
Rush played an audio of a lesbian activist a week or so ago, it isn’t about marriage, it is intended to destroy the institution of marriage. The LGBT whatever groups want marriage gone.
It's HOMOSEXUAL marriage
Why do we keep calling it what it isn't. If they're so damn proud of being sodomites, then call it HOMOSEXUAL marriage.
These folks “think” that they are doing a good thing, they will hide behind anything, but it comes down to atheists. They got a huge boost with the libertarians and are playing the feminists for fools with what seems like a bunch of woman-hating gay men in charge.
There’s no reasoning with them, that’s a waste of time because of some weirdo emotional attachment to anything that frees them from oversight by God or anyone else. The only thing you can do is to outflank and destroy them. It is what it is.
Basically... because the phenomenon that it’s part of, does not, nor does it show any signs of being satisfied to, stand alone in a vacuum. It isn’t just “a bunch of people screaming that it is from hell.”
This measure is one appeasement that doesn’t buy peace.
No-fault divorce has done much more damage to marriage than gay marriage will ever do, simply because of the math of numbers.
This most important of all contracts is in fact no-longer a contract. When either party can simply walk away unilaterally from a contract, there is in fact no contract. Marriage (as a civil institution) as properly defined and intended no longer truly exists when its contractual nature is ripped away by no fault divorce redefinition.
Marriage is the first institution which the well-ordered and healthy state must attend to and nurture with good law and policy. Marriage civilizes men, protects women, and raises the next generation of healthy shopkeepers, engineers, farmers, soldiers, and mothers. As imperfect as it is, “traditional” marriage — with all its restrictions — is far better at seeing this achieved than whatever institution(s) take its place. Our state and society have forgotten this. We’ve forgotten why we created the civic institution of marriage — its contract definition, its licensing motivations — in the first place.
Christians need to form private “clubs” that cater only to other Christians. Not a member? No service.
Sad to have to come to this. I thought the Constitution guaranteed freedom of assembly. I thought I could choose who I wanted to associate with and that I would not be forced by my government to associate with anyone I choose not to. Silly me.
