Wrong. It has been a crime in most countries and cultures, for good reason.

My statement is accurate, and so I will repeat that:

"Homosexuality has been tolerated and/or approved within virtually all recorded cultures during the greater part of their history."

Most polls I've seen are against same sex marriages.

Most polls poll all adults. A great number of those will be dead at the point to which I allude..

If you're so confident that public opinion, why not support the drive for an ammendment, so that the people's voice can be heard?

I've stated several times above why I don't support this amendment. Whatever the case, I'm so confident in the probability of my forecast that I'm indifferent as to whether it passes or not. In fact, I've stated several times that I fully expect this to pass, and have outlined the likely course of events.

I'm equally confident that it will get repealed within 40 years.

Or do you support court activism against the peoples will?

Yes, I do support the court contravening the "people's will" if the will of the people falls short of Constitutional rights & freedoms. If I did not, we would still have segregation as the law of the land.... However, I don't consider this activism but rather judicial review, which is an essential component of a free society governed by the rule of law.

It's been tolerated in many cultures, but I'm not aware of a single one that gave it a status equal to marriage. Not even Ancient Greece.

Prove it.

Thanks for that, Miss Cleo. Again state your proof.

You've stated opinion, not facts. I've stated facts. Unless you can prove your bizarre assertions for the future, well, you know what they say about opinions.
