This entire Homosexual Marriage issue is nothing but a front to attack conservative Christian/Jewish religious institutions and a backdoor plan to diminish the age of consent for sex with a minor.
Anyone who has been around homosexuals know that homo’s prey on late teen boys. If the homo’s could legally get even younger teen boys they would.
NAMBLA is still seen as a fringe group but we will start to see a big push by the left to make them more mainstream legitimate.
