Peter Hitchens "Mail on Sunday" column this week takes up the anti-marriage forces behind gay marriage-'marriage equality'.

Too bad we don't talk about it more in this country, the big corporations forcing Republican politicians to back away from Constitutional protections for businesses or institutions who oppose gay marriage. Mike Pence in Indiana and Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas key players in that arena in 2015.

It was almost a year ago in Georgia when Republican Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a bill to protect religious institutions that oppose gay marriage at the behest of the big corporations based in Atlanta.

It looks to me like the GOP Establishment-Trump Haters decided to draw attention to an issue where the polling data was more in their favor, transgender bathrooms and use that as a diversion-emotional wedge issue for election year 2016.

They took that issue up in North Carolina right in the wake of Governor Deal's anti religious freedom anti-First Amendment veto in Georgia.

The marriage issue is important to discuss and I support freedom for gay marriage opponents to speak their mind and live by their convictions.

The Corporatists and Globalists don't.

Marriage may not be worth defending.....at least the kind that requires a government license. There are so many miserable marriages and so few joyful marriages that one wonders what the fuss is about. Kids do not thrive in dysfunctional systems and adults who are miserable stuck in a dead partnership with no option of getting free do not make good parents or good citizens. So what are we defending here?

Not just wipe out marriage, but destroy our value system, and with it Christianity.

Do you know if any mention was made at all on marriage at this year’s CPAC? I have heard zilch about it.

Traditional marriage between a man and a woman is being wiped out and replaced by whatever liberal governments want based on politically correct whims. Gay marriage will inevitably lead to recognizing polygamy and eventually child marriage, polyamory and the legalization of incest.
