Last week, Congress passed the "Respect for Marriage" Act. As usual, the name the proponents (or, sometimes, opponents) invent for the bill does not accurately represent its purpose. You may remember that the "For the People" Act was a lot less useful to the people than it was to the Democrat party. The "Inflation Reduction Act" did nothing to reduce inflation. And the "Don't Say Gay" bill did not ban the word "gay."
"Respect for Marriage" Act purportedly "legalizes" same-sex "marriage." Because the Supreme Court already ruled on this matter, the law does not expand legal protection for same-sex couples in any way. The law, in part, requires private businesses to perform services they object to on moral grounds. This law should be called "disrespect for personal freedom" act.
To understand why legitimizing same-sex "marriage" is detrimental for society, we must first examine some myths associated with the institution of marriage, from both the conservative and the liberal viewpoints.
Myth #1: Marriage is a human right.
Stable families are the basis for a stable society and are building blocks for successful and productive future generations. The institution of marriage was designed to help society in maintaining these relationships. Marriage has nothing to do with freedoms or rights, which are "unalienable," and are granted to you by nature, or G-d, if you are a person of faith. Marriage is what we call "a social construct" (unlike biological sex, which is not one) and is defined by society (in our case, a state or a country). p>Because it is in society's interest to maintain stable family units, society grants benefits to those who choose to enter them. Individual members cannot demand these benefits without providing anything in return. What society gains is that married couples raise stable and productive children.

The Left seeks to destroy the God ordained traditional family structure. The Left knows it’s a spiritual battle, Conservatives generally don’t.
So since I "love" my dog, we could get married. My dog could go everywhere with me. Fly inside the plane in a seat, because I refuse to put my wife in a cage in the plane's hold. Eat in a nice restaurant. "Maitre d' I'm taking my wife out for an anniversary dinner..." My wife could vote, "well your wife votes!" My wife could be a tax deduction, apply for unemployment assistance, food stamps, free cell phone, housing assistance, etc.....
But it's the divorce that scares me, the bitch (dog term, LOL) want's half my stuff!
People can go against God and his ideas of family—but in the end—God always wins. Look at the USSR—tried all this stuff and it fell apart, China is doing this and its starting to show cracks. Don’t bet against God, you will lose in the long run.
I have had 16 or 17 dogs since 1966——
Had 13 different horses-——
I loved all of them-—
I DID NOT MARRY ANY OF THEM.
Sexual deviants are now on the same list as the snail darter and the spotted owl.
I remember a man who wanted to marry his horse. But didn’t.
When the horse was asked, the horse said “Neigh”.
(OK, I stole that joke from an OLD Li’l Abner comic strip)
Coronapanic, Black LIES Matter, Critical Race Theory, Woke-ism, ... we’re all being “groomed,” conditioned to be “goot liddle nodzis,” never questioning orders and always doing exactly what we’re told.
