Germans celebrate first gay marriage
BBC News ^ | 1st October 2017 | bbc news

Two men have become the first gay couple to marry in Germany, on the day gay marriage became legal there. Karl Kreile and Bodo Mende, a couple for 38 years, exchanged their vows at the town hall in Schöneberg, Berlin. Registry offices in several German cities were opening, unusually, on Sunday to allow couples to wed on the first day it was legally possible. Getting married will give gay couples the same tax advantages and adoption rights as heterosexual couples.

Germany has allowed same-sex partners to enter into registered partnerships since 2001, but these did not give couples exactly the same status in German law as marriage. The German parliament voted to introduce marriage equality in June, after Chancellor Angela Merkel unexpectedly dropped her longstanding opposition to parliament holding a vote on the issue.

I have a serious question.

When did the state begin to decide who was/was-not married and not religious institutions?

A year or two ago I was curious about a subject connected to medicine.To research the issue I signed on to the CDC's website.On the "front page" of the website was a piece stating that pervert males account for about two-thirds of the country's syphilis cases.

One percent of the population....two-thirds of syphilis cases.

The key term here is “adoption rights.” This is hardly cause for celebration, not for the kids who will be deprived of a natural family.

Did they pass this with muslim approval?
What? They say that’s not required?
Oh, but it will be.
Goodbye Oktoberfest. Goodbye homos.

When lunatic liberal governments and lawmakers take power.

This is what is called a _wedge issue_.

When you talk to a liberal just ask which is more important, gay rights or Muslim rights.

They can't have both--the two visions of the future are in total and complete conflict.

Watch the liberal's head spin while they start babbling--"That does not compute. That does not compute. That does not compute..."

Given that homos do not reproduce and muslims reproduce like rabits, vegas sets the odds of a homo supremacy against the muslims at 8 to 1 dogs.

Some will say judgment will come upon such countries for their immorality. Romans 1 tells us that such immorality itself is a form of judgment.

"they did not glorify Him as God, . . Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves," Romans 1

The more I have seen. The more I am convinced that the Jihad movement wants society to decay in terms of family and fertility to make them easier to conquer. The Roman Empire committed demographic suicide, and The nazis explicitly wanted those under their rule to die out (Slavic people) so that the Germans could replace them.
