The acceptance of "gay marriage" is simply the beginning of the end of marriage, period.
I think, the end of civilization.
Marriage was already comprehensively deconstructed by heterosexuals, long before the homosexuals swarmed in to claim its parts and bits. Through civil marriage, easy divorce/remarriage, and contraception, heteros redefined marriage from being a Natural Law-anchored, fertile exclusive lifelong union, to being a construct of positive "say-so" law, sequentially multipartnered, and sterile.
Marriage --- as obviously defined in all of human history across centuries, continents, and civilizations --- makes sense only as a setting for procreative sex which then defines two-and-only-two people, the male and the female, as the responsible parents. People of random genders rubbing non-procreative body parts together don't require solemn durable societal recognitions, responsibilities or covenants. In such case, there is no need to specify one, two, three, any number of people, and it doesn't matter whether the non-procreative parts are elbows, anuses, noses, knees or reproductively disabled genitals.
Who queered marriage? Heterosexuals. They "redefined" it. It's inevitable that the various kinds of queers would now claim the mutated thing as their own.

Exactly. The homosexuals get furiously angry when you compare their non-procreative arrangements to others. But there really is no difference.
I agree. The recent SCOTUS decisions leave no room whatever to ban polygamy. What about bi-sexuals? Don't they have the same rights as others? So the argument will go, and they'll be right under the current state of the law, IMHO.

I respectfully disagree. Gays didn't begin the whole "redefinition" of marriage movement. Rather, Christians did. First, birth control became acceptable, despite the fact that nearly all Christian denominations condemned it for 2,000 years. Second, divorce for cause, like adultery, grew in acceptance, until finally "no fault" became the norm. This made the marriage contract terminable at will unilaterally by either party for any reason or no reason. The no fault divorce law was signed into law in California by none other than Ronald Reagan.
Ultimately, Christians had redefined marriage to the point where gays could honestly say "hey, your "marriages" look an awful lot like our relationships. Kids are completely optional, and there's no lifelong commitment. We pay our taxes like everybody else, so we should be entitled to the same opportunity to avail ourselves of that institution, now called marriage." And, frankly speaking, they were right about that. We do have a little thing called equal protection of the laws.
Pope Paul VI was a prophet.
We Christians have none to blame but ourselves.
I predict that it will be perfectly acceptable as long as the man gets multiple females....just let one female take on several “husbands” and then we’ll have wrath from the citzens....
