Only a matter of time and court cases for all 50 states (57 states, according to President Obummer) to be forced to recognize these and dole out all the accordant “benefits” that come with marriage - with our without state constitutional regulations.

They will parade out the “equal protection” BS.... and there you will have it, even those of us living in even the more conservative states will be paying for homo-Joe to get his privates altered and/or pay out spousal benefits.

Although I have read there have been civil ceremonies in California and Washington, I don’t believe the Episcopal General Convention has approved this (yet). They meet this year and are expected to approve a liturgy for the sinful ceremony. This homosexual activist push has ripped the church asunder.

I suppose that, this time next year, we will be seeing a headline about a civil union between a man and a corpse, or a man and a goat, or a man and a 7-year-old.

Everyone in Delaware that had a hand in this will face the Ultimate Judge one day.

Lawyers Lisa Goodman and Drewry Fennell were joined in the union by the Rev. Patricia Downing, rector of Trinity Episcopal Churchin Wilmington, where the Sunday afternoon ceremony took place.

This just reinforces the reason I am no longer a practicing Episcopalian. Thank God my daughter finally dumped her ex-boyfriend, as they went to a PCUSA church and were heavily involved in their fag-loving, social justice agenda. What's going on with churches in America?!?!

When government officials go out of their way to foster, promote and legalize mentally ill sexual perversion, it means we better be prepared for all kinds of mayhem. Civilization cannot continue without morality as a basic foundation; and when the "leaders" are leading everyone straight to the inferno of vice, some kind of collapse is inevitable. What to speak of all the other craziness going on.

“there are now 12 states that recognize gay unions and/or marriage.
Oh man. You just turned my stomach. I believe we may have lost this battle. I am sick to say such a thing but I had no idea we were that bad off.”

This battle _has_ “been lost”.

Same-sex marriage will eventually be declared the law of the land by the Supreme Court. Probably not by the Roberts Court, but somewhere down the line there is going to be a more liberal Court that does exactly this.

The sad fact is that the battle _could have_ been won, and won easily — if Republicans had only pushed for a “Marriage Amendment” to the Constitution at the first sign of trouble (that being “civil unions” in Vermont).

Back then, the notion of same-sex marriage seemed so outrageous that a Marriage Amendment could have succeeded is passing both houses of Congress, IF the Republicans/conservatives put the pressure on.

Back then, this was enough of a “hot button” issue that the amendment almost certainly would have garnered enough support in the required number of state legislatures to be ratified.

And our side would have won.

But we let that opportunity slip away, and since then, the only momentum that has developed has been for the other side.

Congress will never pass a Marriage Amendment now. Not going to happen. (I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong, but the lefties in the Congress have grown “leftier” and bolder since then. They’ll not give up the cause, even for the sake of their constituents.

The saying goes, “strike while the iron is hot”. It ain’t so hot no more. The left is winning on same-sex unions, they’ve got their strategies down, and they’re not going to give up ‘til they’ve won the whole enchilada.

Wish I could be more optimistic, but that’s the way I see it...

It is a white trash thing. Not many years ago people in the blue states chided others for marrying their cousins, and we all thought, how disgusting. Now we have those same people marrying the same-sex in a sexually dimorphic species (ie humans) and they call it normal. I can’t wait for the next white trash parade in San Fran.

The “event” is bad enough. The 400 “celebrants” really
are a bigger problem.

What's going on with churches in America?!?!

Many churches have turned away from the Word of God (at best they might read "The Message"). I thank God for the Southern Baptist churches, firmly anchored in Scripture!
