The defeatist attitude I see from conservatives on this issue is truly disheartening. I don’t think we can truly make America great again without the solid foundation of marriage. The damage this decision caused can be felt everywhere.
The overturning of Prop 8 by an openly homosexual federal judge in California was the last straw.
As much as I am firm believer i marriage between men and women (XX & XY) I have a different take.
I don’t support government having any say in marriage at all. It should be removed from the tax code and everything from the government. Modern day shysters can draw up a contract for anyone to enter into a union of some sort. Marriage is a church institution and the government needs only to recognize two people are in a legal contract (make sure and denote only people qualify for the contract) and all it a “union” not a marriage that is a cultural term. I am against same-sex marriage, but I also realize in this era of every religion is equal we cannot dictate that to other beliefs (you have people that marry their dogs etc...). Just take it out and let the churches handle it as far as their doctrine demands.
That defangs the lawsuits immediately and people can exercise their right to acknowledge whatever sickness they want, but they cannot hi-jack the language and call it marriage when we take the government out of it.
And, bitching about such a court ruling is misdirection. A court can rule only on what is law in that state. Change the state constitution.
Awww. Is that difficult? Well, apparently your willingness to work for what you feel is RIGHT is onlyskin deep.
