Game over: Gay marriage will eventually be the law of the land
Boston Globe ^ | July 12, 2011 | Tom Keane

THE FIGHT over same-sex marriage - a topic undiscussed 20 years ago, a shocking proposition a decade ago - will soon be over. It will take some years more, and battles remain, but the outcome of the war is clear.

This may seem a remarkable claim, given the federal Defense Of Marriage Act, the 2008 rejection of same-sex marriage by California voters, and the laws of a majority of states, all of which aim to preserve traditional, heterosexual marriage. And there are still more than a few politicians who indulge in homophobia, most notably Michele Bachmann, who recently became the first presidential candidate to sign an anti-gay-marriage pledge.

They are very confident they have won this battle, and perhaps they're right. But if marriage is lost, the country is lost too.

The idea of a Judeo-Christian ethic in this country is gone, washed away by the rising tides of depravity. All that’s left are the texts of our ancestors and written thoughts and ideas of our forefathers, but no one wants to pay attention to a bunch of doddering old fools, right?

...Right?

Hollywood has been pushing homosexuality on us heavily for nearly 20 years.

I can't even remember the last major show I watched that didn't feature at least one gay character. Always shown in a positive light, which is nothing short of brain washing. the disconnect between the reality of the gay lifestyle and how it is depicted on TV and in movies is even greater than what Hollywood and news outlets have been doing for blacks for 30+ years. It's a campaign to change preconceptions based on flat out false information, and it's working to a large extent.

Here in WI, homo marriage is banned and was upheld by our Supremes. The only way this gets overturned is from a ruling by SCOTUS and that simply isn’t happening.

In a 2000 year context, it’s just a fad. Like the Inquisition, which was longer but less fabulous, people will eventually regain their theological and moral bearings.

This battle isn't over. They have power right now, but remember, not one state when on the ballot, wanted homosexual marriage. That means that every person who voted against homosexual marriage saw a judge overturn their will. I think most people know in their hearts this is wrong. Some push that knowledge aside for political reasons, others think tolerance is letting someone have whatever they want even if its bad for them, some see it in their families and don't want to seem unloving to their loved one and others are just depraved themselves. This is long from being over. People are praying and God is listening. Our God is holy, right and just. He will not stand for this for too long. The lefts god is what they created her or him to be & has no power. Abraham ask that Sodom not be destroyed for the sake of 10 believers. I believe God is keeping us from total ruin. We see His warnings everywhere. I just wouldn't want to be here if God's people were gone.

A revival in our land, a move of God’s Spirit, could stop our gallop toward Gomorrah.

How has Hollywood and the news outlets brainwashed their viewers in their depiction of blacks causing a disconnection with reality?

Wisconsin’s marriage amendment passed by 59% in 2006, one of the states that only passed it in the 50-60% range. My own state, Va., was also one of these. As soon as the homosexualists think they have the votes they will be screaming for the popular vote repeal process.

It’s disgusting that grown men love to play in each other’s dung and want the rest of us lovingly accept it as being normal. Well, sodomites can push their mess if they want and they may get a bunch of people to give them what they want, but God will NEVER accept their filthy lifestyle. Period.

The Bible prophesied that there will be a time when the world will be just like it was in Sodom & Gomorrah. Homosexuality was rampant and homosexuals were wild and lawless. When it gets like that again then get ready for God’s judgement to rain down again.

Agree, this is a secular progressive attempt to legislate their morality and to attack traditional morality. The only real greater interest the state has in marriage between a man and a woman is the protection of the family so that children can be raised, with minimum government interference, to be well adjusted members of society.
Only a fraction of a percent of people will actually become same sex "marriage" partners. So what is the greater good?
People will eventually make a distinction between same sex marriage and a marriage between one man and one woman. Perhaps using a different word to describing each relationship. So temporarily the progressives have won a battle in their war against traditional values and morality but the emphasis is on the word temporarily!!

Statement: "Game over: Gay marriage will eventually be the law of the land"

Response: Agreed.

Comment:A we are members of a dying civilization whose primary "good things" are: Tolerance-(meaning the inability to say yes or no, the inability to take a stand.);egalitarianism, apathy, lack of leadership; constant talking; a complete dedication to a life of eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels all followed a good solid sleep with lots of snoring; the constant gentle movement of cash throughout society achieved by taking from one to give to another; the total dedication of the individual to a life of pleasure and whatever power that he can grab.

All the more reason to get government out of the marriage business completely, before it’s too late.

“They have power right now, but remember, not one state when on the ballot, wanted homosexual marriage.”

Arizona failed to pass a pro-marriage amendment (51-49% if I recall), then passed it a couple of years later. So perhaps it can change for the better. But the general trend seems to be of accepting “gay marriage”.

The average of the state amendments that have passed is 67%, but most of them passed in the middle of the last decade. I imagine the majority would still pass, and many would pass by a lot, but by a somewhat lower %. There are some that passed in the low 50% range that might not pass now.

It will be interesting to see what happens to prop.8 if it is upheld by our black robed masters, it only passed by 52% in 2008, if I recall.
