Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch conceded Wednesday it’s only a matter of time before gay marriage is legal across the country, even though he doesn’t think that’s the right way to go.
Hatch said people who can’t see what’s happening aren’t living in the real world. He made the remarks during an appearance on KSL-Radio’s Doug Wright Show. […]
Hatch also questioned whether judges should be able to tell states how to handle an important matter like marriage.
He said he believes nobody should suffer discrimination, and said religious people should try to understand other people’s beliefs. …

He’s the sort of Washington insider who sees the Progressive agenda working through our massive government, and sees inevitability.
In a way he’s right - our massive, debt financed, nanny-state, founded on printed money is rolling toward a logical conclusion
It doesn’t mean he shouldn’t give us an alternative.
It is a given, the war against perversion has been lost. Does that mean we have to accept homosexuality as right? Absolutely not.
The obvious agenda of the radical homosexual movement is to FORCE Churches to affirm, celebrate and approve that which their logic, conscience, faith and Scripture opposes.
And thus what you (Orrin) cowardly resign yourself to as inevitable as the 'law of the land' will thus prohibit the free exercise of an authentic Christian faith and violate the very CORE of the Constitution that you pledged to defend upon taking office.
Hatch is ASSUMING only religion is the reason for objecting to anything goes sex fetish marriage.
There are LOGICAL NON-RELIGIOUS reasons to protect marriage from the hedonists. The fact it is homosexual deathstyle judges making these rulings speaks volumes.
WHERE was hatch on the federal marriage amendment?
Hatch is just a DC insider do nothing stooge.
There is only way that gay marriage will become the law in every State, and that is Judicial Dictatorship.
The people — as in “We The People” — have voted in the majority of States to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Only dictator judges have the power to suppress the will of the people.
Exactly. Sadly, I agree with him 100%, it will be the law of the land including Full Faith & Credit. But ... doesn’t mean we roll over.
Hatch misspoke
the State’s goal is not to make religious people “understand” other people’s beliefs
It’s to make them live by other people’s beliefs .. and to punish them if they resist
The next thing they want is pedophilia.
We are not only expected to support it with our tax dollars, we are forbidden to criticize it and expected to pay it obedience.
Given that gays don’t produce the future of society, I can’t fathom why they would get the same benefits. And where does the money come from as this puts more of a strain on Social Security and the private sector.
Our flag is Old Glory.
The flag of the Republican establishment is the white flag of surrender.
Take some easily grasped examples of what actually follows periods of excessive license. The Victorian era crackdown on the flaunting of sexual pursuits, followed a quite licentious period. The period in ancient Greece, in which homosexuality was completely accepted, was itself a fairly isolated phenomenon. While Grecian influence on European civilization remained immense in general; such was certainly not evident in attitudes on sexual deviancy.
No Conservative should ever accept the idea that we have to accept the legislated "reforms" that the Left succeeds for a time in promulgating over us. This acceptance can only demoralize our own supporters, while emboldening those who war on our heritage.
Never, never concede the permanence of folly.

understand other people’s beliefs. …
Sure now understand my beliefs.
For Rent no gays
Not even the ancient Greeks gave in to the idea of homosexual marriage. I suspect the idea would have appalled them as portending the downfall of their society. Even they were not intentionally suicidal.
Why, to make the point even more obvious, has a failure to consummate a marriage by a procreational act, been generally a ground for annulment? The principal ground for annulment? A muscular exercise, intended to simulate sensations associated with the procreational act, between people who do not have the equipment to procreate via that simulation, can never be the required consummation.
While I have not actually been graphic, I apologize to all for suggesting what if graphic would be offensive in a public comment. But my intent is simply to make a point that no amount of rationalized gobble can refute.

The SCOTUS holding in “Windsor” that dismantled DOMA was based on the presumption that DOMA was enacted for no other reason than animus against people with sexual confusion/homosexual disorder.
A good lawyer can make the secular case, that has nothing to do with animus, for why in the whole history of civilization across all cultures, marriage has been defined as the union of a man and a woman. Heck, a bad lawyer could do it.
Our government had no interest in defending DOMA and lost on purpose
Hatch is probably correct. Gay “marriage” will be recognized as if it was the real thing in all 50 states. Similarly, I will eventually die. Both statements are almost certainly true, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to help either unpleasant outcome along. God didn’t put me here to squander whatever time He might allot me, nor did He put me here to further a destructive agenda that will separate people from scripture.
Orrin Hatch has basically signed on to the homosexualist agenda . If you truly “disagree” with fake marriage, you stand up for it, you don’t just sit back.
