You’re correct. The net result of the legitimization of same-sex “marriage” will be a massive increase in the power of the government and a contraction of the traditional liberties of the people. That’s been obvious from the very beginning of this so-called “gay rights” crusade, though a lot of people refused to see it. But we now have enough examples of this dynamic that only someone totally blind could continue to maintain that liberty will be enhanced by allowing same-sex “marriage”.
You're right. Who could have thought, at the beginning of this movement, that the issue of whether closing down gay bathhouses in the interest of public health would be considered discriminatory and actually wrong? The homo-activist won that battle way back in the 70’s, and we are even now still suffering from the reverberations of that new way of “thinking.”
