Nothing imaginable — leftward or rightward — would constitute as radical a change in the way society is structured as this redefining of marriage for the first time in history: Not another Prohibition, not government taking over all health care, not changing all public education to private schools, not America leaving the United Nations, not rescinding the income tax and replacing it with a consumption tax. Nothing.
Unless California voters amend the California Constitution or Congress amends the U.S. Constitution, four justices of the California Supreme Court will have changed American society more than any four individuals since Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Madison.

Now marriage is very important to a “relationship”, but ONLY if you are gay.
Prager bump
Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison and their peers went to war over much less.
I am sickened over just how apathetic to the cause of liberty and self government the subjects (not citizens) of this country are today.
Wow! That is a great piece! A keeper for sure!
Pro-marriage Californians, give em’ a damn good fight this November. I am sick and tired of judicial activism. The four judges should be removed from office and their benches should by Lysoled.
Since the Marriage amendment changes the Constitution, why not add another amendment to more easily(quickly) get rid of Supreme Court judges?
Prager does a good job of presenting some of the downstream effects and unintended consequences of redefining marriage — things that don’t immediately come to mind. It is quite disturbing. The European countries that now allow gay marriage provide provide something of a test of his predictions. Do they present gay marriage as just another choice on par with hetero marriage in their public school text books? Do their wedding ring sellers show his & his and her & her rings in their advertising? Would be interesting to hear what FReepers who travel to Europe (I think these are mostly Scandinavian countries) have seen.
Typical for sex obsessed people.
They only care about what they want, not anyone else.
If it feels good, do it. Who cares if is destructive to society as long as they get to have their own fun.
Looks to me like a chicken & egg kinda of thing, had the public not attempted to legislate their version of morality on the rest of the legitimate citizens of the state then the judges would have not had to step in and correct the oversight.
Same thing happened over the questions of slavery and civil rights, once it was a capitol crime to marry someone of another race, today we have no such restrictions. No doubt back when folks were first allowed to intermarry between races dire predictions were made that never came to past.
In 100 years the dire predictions made regarding gay marriage will look just as foolish and bigoted.
For anyone interested, here's a fairly current listing of same sex marriage laws in Europe European Marriage Laws
I’ll be interested to see if some of Prager’s worries come true. If they do, our grandchildren will live in a very different world than do we.
Isn’t it already available through imoeachment process?
An easy way to dispell your premise is this;
If everyone followed the homosexual way of marriage the entire population of this planet would disappear within 100 years.
If everyone followed the heterosexual way of marriage society would continue.
You cannot use fertilization with gay couples because that is still heterosexual with a different delivery method.
So the premise that “if it feel good it must be alright” can be very bad for everyone else.
I doubt it. At the rates at which homosexual men in general - and lesbians to a lesser, though still significant - extent) take on multiple partners throughout their lives, divorce laws in this country will become a shambles, and marriage in general will follow.
Of course, this seems to be the left's goal overall in destroying the United States as a Judeo-Christian based nation. Only then it seems will former Americans realize the nightmare that has ensued. But by then too, it will be too late to recover.
And if you think secularism will conquer islam, you'd better re-think that.
Why oppose any form of sexual relationship: gay, straight, bestial, with children, infants, multiple people. What’s the point? Why condemn this and not that? What’s the value to our culture, our civilization?

Makes you seriously want to take up cave hunting.
Well, if you can’t see that there is a vast difference between sex among consenting adults and sexual relationships which are bestial, with children or infants then I question your preceptive and decision making ability.
