Gay Marriage Said To Be Approaching Like Tidal Wave

Group Wants Amendment To Define Marriage Between Man, Woman

POSTED: 12:08 p.m. EDT June 24, 2003
WASHINGTON -- Alliance for Marriage President Matt Daniels says American culture is about to be hit by the equivalent of a tidal wave.

That's how Daniels describes the legalization of gay marriage, which is under way in Canada and could soon be mandated by U.S. courts as well.

 SURVEY

Should the United States recognize same-sex marriages performed in Canada?

No, marriages should only be between a man and a woman.
Yes, but only because we generally accept other marriages from other nations.
Yes, because gay marriage is something we should have here, too.

If that happens, he says, Christians and others who believe the gay lifestyle is wrong will find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Daniels said a proposed federal marriage amendment to the Constitution would define marriage as the union of a man and a woman and let the people rather than the courts decide who should get the benefits of marriage.

The amendment has been introduced in the U.S. House, where it's sponsored by some 20 members of Congress.

"MANDATED BY US COURTS"

In another random ruling, the Supremes wanted to golf, and so dismissed today's case, whatever it was.

Tomorrow, O'Conner is scheduled for her annual Pap Smear, and the plaintiff will lose. Upcoming events include the birthday of her granddaughter, and the lobby is packed with appellants trying to get that date.

On a cold day Tuesday, the Constitution was burned in the Supremes incinerator to provide a little more warmth. "When the hot flashes subside, I need that extra bit of heat," said the lady Justice.

Meanwile, a hostile takeover of the State of Connecticut by the Burea of Indian Affairs proceded nicely through the court, as David Souter's gambling debt appeared ready to be cleared. The $1.3B outstanding debt the the Animowauk tribe has lead the Justice to cede 93% of Connecticut to the tribe, leaving 7% still held by the Federal Government as a retreat for the Supremes. "I just couldn't be happier with the deal," exclaimed Souter.

Separately, Justice Brennan issued a fatwa requiring mandatory cleavage. "Except when a good racial case can be made, all women must expose at least 2.4 inches of cleavage," said the Justice. "Less well endowed individuals can appeal to this precinct for sufficient funding for implants."

Congress, meanwhile adjourned perpetually. Senator Kennedy assured the press, "There's nothing we could do that the Supremes can't handle with a lot less work. I'll see you all in the bar."

President Clinton was seen leaving the ladies room with Ruth Bader-Ginsburg. "I just love her hyme...I mean hyphen."

[AntiGuv]

Yep, that's a safe guess at this point..

[exile]

Maybe gay marriage should be legal. I mean why should straight people be the only ones to suffer?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Canada will become the buttpirates paradise.

[sit-rep]

A few suffer, a few have a good time...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Tida wave is an appropriate metaphor. Tidal waves go by and leave only death and destruction in their wake.

[buffyt]

Kind of a slap in the face of God for what he did to the perps. of Sodom and Gomorrah.

[buffyt]

ha ha ha that is what I told my husband of 30 years! ha ha ha

[milan]

This is so damn disgusting. I can see it now "Man wants to marry dog." God knows the ACLU and PETA will take that case!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I am just completely sickened by today's SCOTUS. It's worse imho than the pro-affirmative action one.

[RRWCC]

Canada HAS become the rump rangers paradise! If it hadn't they wouldn't even consider this kind of stupid thing....

[Belial]

If that happens, he says, Christians and others who believe the gay lifestyle is wrong will find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

You find yourself on the wrong side of the law when you break it. Mainstream Christians will be fine, although a few Rudolphs may kill gay couples or become terrorists.

Those will be put away pronto.

[Question_Assumptions]

And they better be careful that the backlash isn't like a megatsunami.

[SJSAMPLE]

Maybe not.
In Canada and England, there's the charge of "inciting hatred and intolerance." You may find yourself no longer able to voice your contempt for those lifestyles. You may be forced to rent space to avowed and practicing homosexuals, against your will. It won't be a crime of commission, it will be a crime of ommission.

I think the fuss will die down once the "Gay Divorce" tidal wave comes. Its probably a few years down the road. I predict some vicious alimony and custody fights. Who gets the toy poodles and the gerbil?

[joesnuffy]

I dont suppose "we the people" actually have a say so in this?

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP

[joesnuffy]

A divorce lawyer's whose specialty is "gay divorce" is gonna clean up
they could probably do a reality tv show just with this theme...
Who gets the poodle and the gerbil...indeed LOL
