Tell me, are there not a large number of States in the US that have legalized same sex marriages.?

I'm not an expert on the topic...but I think only the state of Vermont has
passed anything resembling anything close to real "same-sex marraige".
IIRC, most of these ceremonies are performed for couples from states other than VT.

I think (and am fully open to correction), but the "gay weddings" you see,
especially the mass ceremonies in places like San Francisco are just
"show" marriages, not recognized legally.

Amazing as it will seem, California passed a "protection of marriage"
(as in only for man-woman union) a few years ago by state referendum.
I think it passed with something like 65-70% of the vote.

I suspect this didn't get that much national press coverage, nor a court
invalidation...the gay-agenda parts of the national media doesn't want the
rest of the USA (or the world for that matter) to know that the concept of gay marriage
doesn't even fly with 50% of Californians.

I give the gay Nazis credit. Just like Adolph and his buddies, they know how
to hang on and bid their time on their way to seizing power over matrimony.

I do have knowledge and ONLY vermont has created a VERMONT ONLY fiction of domestic partners. It is NOT recognized by any other states. Specifically Connecticut and Georgia have refused to recognize it in their courts. The homosexuals tried to use the "full faith and credit" clause to FORCE other states to recognize homosexual "relations" as normal.

In summary there are NO states which recognize homosexual marriage. There are a MAJORITY of states which specificall define marriage as ONE man and ONE woman. There is a pending constitutional ammendment which will FEDERALIZE the definition.

Massachusets supreme court is trying to legalize homosexual marriage by REMOVING children from the institution of marriage. Thus marriage would be for sex and companionship not protecting children. IRONICALLY the Massachusettes legislature is going to pass a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA: a law which establishes marrige is ONE man and ONE woman) this would trump the generally leftist wacko massachusetts supreme court. (and they wonder why judges are ridiculed and held is such disregard)

The homosexual nazi's are using one of hitler's methods. Repeat a lie and they will eventually believe it. Hold enough fake marriages and the ignorant will eventually believe them.
