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 thinks no such thing. If he did he would staunchly oppose this trend with his last breath.
Just another Liberal-lite.
Whew! That’s a relief. We don’t have to pay attention to “laws of the land” in this country now that Soetoro is on the throne.
Republicans really want to lose the mid-terms....
He said he believes nobody should suffer discrimination, and said religious people should try to understand other people’s beliefs. …
Tolerance is a one way street.
I can remember when this guy was a Mr "I love Ronald Reagan" Conservative. How things change.
The homosexual community has achieved great wealth, power and influence in modern day America. They very well may have the power to overturn civil laws and enact new ones to their liking. However the bottom line is that the inherent vile nature of homosexuality will never change. Its acceptance into American culture along with widespread abortion, drug use, pornography and fornication underscores the reality that America has entered an era of neo pagan epicurean decadence.
Does he also think that other people should try to understand religious people’s beliefs? Or is it just that we have to bend over backwards to accomodate liberal beliefs on marriage?
I’m just waiting to see if the LGBT peoples start suing churches over homosexual marriage. We will have a big split in our culture, in which homosexual marriage is permitted in civil law, but virtually all mainstream religious denominations do not allow it.
The liberals and gay activists have lied about their true intentions all along. First they wanted tolerance. Then they wanted legal rights for civil unions, and said they didn’t want marriage. Then they said that they only wanted marriage in certain states, and had no intention of overturning the Defense of Marriage Act in court. They say they don’t intend to sue churches, but considering how they have lied time and time again about their true intentions in this area, I don’t trust them.
And this is where who sits in our federal courts is important. Liberal judges will likely allow lawsuits and rule against religious institutions which will not permit homosexual marriage. It could happen.
This is the kind of mush headed thinking you fall into when you have been in Washington to long.
Term limits before they all go senile.
So, does he agree that it’s in the US Constitution? That’s where the activist judges keep finding it.
I don’t think Hatch supports same sex marriage.
He just commented on what is happening across the country.
In every state where the voters have approved measures defining marriage as between one man and one woman, judges are striking them down, including in Hatch’s home state of Utah.
This has also happened in my state of CA.
Someone should tell Orrin that no one has been discriminated against in the subject of marriage.
Marriage being DEFINED as between a man and a woman.
Any homosexual who decided he was done with that charming little perversion has always been free to marry the equally twisted skank of his choice.
What the odious Mr. Hatch should be asking is why we have allowed the judgeocracy to change the law by changing the definition of marriage.
But perhaps his acquiescence in this matter is a secret revenge of the Mormons: we were persecuted because of polygamy. Common cause with the Homonazis?
And Hatch has gone wobbly on a host of other issues recently, as well. He should retire, he's useless to any cause but his own.
We have term limits everywhere. They're called elections.
Don’t count your Hatch before he chickens.
Don’t count your Hatch before he chickens.
You are correct. The human mind has a difficult time accepting “gay” marriage when they focus their attention on the detailz of what the homosexuals are doing with and to their genitalia, anus, mouth and other bodily parts and functions, specifically brain function not to mention their psychology.
Not good for the people involved
or the society. We should not glorify such destructive behaviors or even legitimize them.
Love the sinner but hate the sin.
