Frankly, I don't care who marries who, I have no problem with that. I have friends on both sides of the issue, some of my best friends are gay, some others who disagree are friends as well. Here in our Republic, we realize that some people will do things that others may not like and there are times we must live with that but on the other hand to force others to go against their beliefs is wrong too and again, that is another founding principle of our Republic. Unfortunately, there are people behind an agenda who keeps pushing and pushing to keep beating those that disagree. As my father said, if you keep beating on a given group of people, eventually they will fight back and when that happens, people on both sides will get hurt or worse. I don't want to see that. Yeah, now we have same sex marriage now but it isa multi-way street, there had to be respect for those who oppose it too.

I think where a lot of this started was the Civil Rights movement and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Barry Goldwater was right to oppose it, I would have as well, because of the unintended consequences. Because of that, every person or group who does not get their way will cry "civil rights" until they get their way.

"Frankly, I don't care who marries who"

which means you have no principles, zero real experience with the horrors of the "gay culture", and you're perfectly fine with the descent into depravity that will follow. You're worse than useless.

The pendulum always swings. The farther you go in one direction, the farther it swings back. This isn’t the first time a civilization went mad, they always do before the fall. The swing back will be, I fear, rather ugly.

One of the casualties of the Civil Rights Movement, although not enumerated in the Constitution by name, was freedom of association. One of those probably covered by the 9th and 10th Amendments, and ignored by our legal establishment.

“Frankly, I don’t care who marries who,”

The choice is between anarchy and civilization. Marriage= one man, one woman= civilization. The other options are simply barbarism by another name. Our courts chose barbarism.
