Ah, fraud denial.

God is still real, no matter how many excuses you make to be unprincipled.

Is not standing up for God the hill that the USA really wants to die on?

The question that none of these self-righteous pundits ever ask.

If I understand the languange correctly, if one state recongnizes a type of marriage, other states are compelled to recognize it as well. Let utah legalize sister wives (and only one man, multiple women), and let some other state pass a law allowing women over the age of 40 to marry their favorite housecat, provided the cat has reached the age of majority in cat years.

We can be 100% principled and we’ll become extinct. That’s dumb.

I simply don’t feel that the government – at any level – holds claim to the power to demand a license from or charge a tax on two consenting adults for the ‘privilege’ of getting married.”

Why limit marriage to "two consenting adults"? What about three consenting adults? Or three adults and two minors? Or one adult, two minors, and an antelope (so long as the antelope is consenting)?

RE: No. I think the federal government shouldn’t be involved with marriage at all.

So, One of many questions came up — How do you file taxes under the “Married Filing Jointly” category if they don’t even involve themselves in marriage?

Yep. The GOP needs to keep giving up more and more ground to the leftist activists. As the “principled conservatives” keep telling us, we need to cede the culture wars to the left and allow them to control corporations, education, entertainment, religious entities, definitions of marriage etc.

It’s the only way to win elections.

Versus 100% unprincipled and becoming extinct because of God’s wrath?

Rome didn’t fall because of upholding right principles. Nor did any nation.

Partner A and Partner B.

However, it should be up to each state which they can define marriage as an institution which only a man can marry a woman.

But for tax purposes, the state should only recognize civil unions.

To me, not a big deal if we treat civil unions and marriages differently.

This is kabuki theater. They gave away any chance they had at stopping this bill. Now they don’t have the votes to stop it.

Standing against perversion is not necessarily a vote loser. We should always take a stand against perverts, faggotry, and child molesters. Insure fair elections and then let’s see how we do at the polls when standing for God and country.

Is this some kind of life that a Godly moral person or morals-promoting political party must die for if he/she/they insist that moral standards must be kept and not abandoned?

If so, let's not go out with nothing but a groan and a whimper.

There is no hill the GOP will die upon. That’s the secret. There are no standards to be upheld.

Succinctly and precisely put.

Another word describing the new marital purview is "cesspool."

Literally.

This bill IS actually a hill to die on. Far from just protecting gay marriage from any incipient overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges or Lawrence v. Texas, it could force states to recognize such things as state-sanctioned "polyamorous" marriages (Utah in the future?) or pedo marriages (Muslim-heavy Michigan?).

This is a truly dangerous bill, as it apparently does not limit the recognition to gay marriages entered into in other states.

You are correct, however,
I posit that homosexual ‘marriage’ will be a damn harder nut to crack.
Not impossible but certainly longer than 49 years.
