No, but marriage as we knew it, has already ended in many places. Heterosexual couples will still get married.
In another generation or two, “Progressives” will demand a law forcing clergy to allow them to “marry” their factory built, robotic sex partners.
Once you “re-define” marriage, there is no way to stop marriage from continual re-definition. First polygamy, then Polyamory (group marriages). Turley is right, there is no logical or legal way to stop that train once it veers off the tracks. But, as Turley also reveals, that is the purpose of this whole thing. Gays don’t want to re-define who CAN get married; they want to redefine marriage. First thing to go, faithfulness.
Once government gets into the business of handing out benefits based on an individual's legal status, it will always attempt to redefine the legal meaning of that status for its own purposes.
As long as they control "public education," they will succeed.
Barney Frank was on Hardball yesterday arguing with Matthews of all people about this. Fwank was arguing that the DNC taking up an ‘marriage equality’ (same sex) official party plank was ‘no big deal’ because Obama has already come out on the issue this year. Matthews who is a supporter of the idea was worried it could hurt Dems in some voting areas.
Barney Frank has got to be one of the most unattractive and unpleasant spokesmen that Dems have, and he represents the homo-, err LGBT crowd on TV. Every show including Hardball with friend and ally Matthews Fwank goes into a Fwank annoying girly-like gay hissy fit looking stupid again, Either he is on drugs or he has untreated mental issues.
We need Fwank to be the official nation gay (LGBT) exhibit model for kids and young adults.
Marriage, as in Holy Matrimony, is a sacrament. It is divine in God’s eye between a man and a woman. No matter what homosexual couples do, it can NEVER be considered Marriage. (I can call my dog a cat but he will never be a feline.)
The Gay/Lesbian community will have to accept that homosexuality will never be accepted. We’ve been tolerant as in ‘Love the Sinner. Hate the Sin’. Man would have to rewrite the word of God to accomodate this unnatural behavior.
Their behavior demonstrates that this isn’t about equality. They want extra special treatment as a protected special interest.
Someone should get government out of Marriage altogether. Everyone should be subject to the same Civil Union laws.
Isn’t there a ‘Solomon’ out there that would promote this?
Look at the response to the Chick-Fil-A fiasco. They are overwhelmed with customers today. And the bakery in Colorado that refused to do a wedding cake for a homosexual marriage has seen his business double.
The people have spoken. The silent majority is making it clear that they are there.
Today the Homosexuals have realized the consequences of pursuing their own “Bridge Too Far.”
The sleeping giant has awakened. This will have political ramifications far beyond Chick-Fil-A, et al.
This just may be the end of the forward march of the homosexual agenda for the foreseeable future.
And then there is November. :-)
Marriage as we knew it in ended in 1973.
What we have now is gay marriage for heterosexuals, and although I oppose legalizing pretend marriages for same sex couples, it’s important to acknowledge that traditional marriage (permanent, legal enforcement of fidelity, no remarriage with a living spouse) is already illegal in all 50 states.
In today’s America, we are not allowed to do our own math. The mandate is retardation and mental illness.
Barney thinks he has come out the closet, when he is a rapist who has not fully publicly yet praised his own corruption and rape of the US tax payers.
That is, right there, the hypocrisy of the politician, but also his mental illness... because like a Jack the Ripper who thinks he is a good guy during the day, so are all these dangerous people covering up themselves in self belief of feeling persecuted.
They poke themselves in the eyes to blindness and they accuse those who want them to stop. It is murder-suicide.
I am assuming you are talking about Fannie and Freddy.
Normally I cant stand O Reilly BUT watching him yell at, accuse and lecture Mr Sissy-pants Hissy-fit Fwank was a pleasure, and great entertainment. I never seen anyone else do that. Fwank will have a fit anyway so why not give him hell.

I’m with you all the way on this, brother - I do not for a minute believe in some endless agenda driven by Dems and gays that will continue on and on into a distant future.
Historically, movements reach their heights, and then comes the decline. We are seeing signs of this all around us today.
Why then are so many still pessimistic, still imagining the inevitable march into the next decades of all this leftover 1990s craze which is still with us, and which we now see falling apart? 2 decades from now it will be clear that what seemed indestructible (liberal rainbow army) was in reality only a house of cards...
“The vote was a stunning 61%-39%.”
If you told someone in 1992 that by 2012 only 61% of NC voters would think that state recognition of marriage should only be between a man and a woman, they would be more stunned I reckon.

No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen (September 11, 2001 - NY Times)
He also writes about the Weathermen's sexual experimentation as they tried to ''smash monogamy.'' The Weathermen were ''an army of lovers,'' he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend....And as for settling into marriage after efforts to smash monogamy, Ms. Dohrn said, ''You're always trying to balance your understanding of who you are and what you need, and your longing and imaginings of freedom.''
Smash monogamy is the name of the game. In Texas Same Sex Marriage is not recognized, so lesbians come here and try to find an activist judge to grant them a Same Sex Divorce.
It's not about being married or "no longer living in sin in the eyes of God" by shacking up. It's about subverting the establishment.
I believe the Democrats are painting themselves into a corner, as it were. They are going to either stand up for gay rights and include the issue in their platform, or they are going to reluctantly back down. Either way, they are screwed. They shouldn’t have offered it in the first place. If they proceed, they will alienate huge numbers of traditionalist voters in the Democrat party, like Blacks and Hispanics, and an untold number of their so-called Working Class voters. If they back down, they will upset a lot of their core supporters.
I PREDICT: Ultimately, they will decide that it is too dangerous, and blame the “Religious Right” for being too intolerant and forcing them to take it out of their platform. It may seem unlikely, but Republicans will take the blame in the media for an entirely Democrat decision. The left and their propaganda organ will have no compunctions about pushing the narrative, because they are liars anyway.
The important, and yet largely ignored, canvass on which all this is being painted is that every single time this issue comes to a vote of the people, homosexual marriage is defeated.
Every. Single. Time.

But if robots are to ever become androids, like the "fully functional" Data from Star Trek TNG, they are going to have to be touch-responsive. But making an entire robot that responds to human touch is a herculean task, so a graduate student from Japan has simplified matters by inventing - get this - an emotionally responsive set of robo-buttocks...
It’s treated as if it is a big demand issue, but homosexuals are 1-2% of the general population (higher in prisons and the media). Not everyone will enter into a marriage. So we are looking at 0.5%-1% of the population who are affected yet the lavender mafia in the media newrooms push it in the faces of the 99%.
And parents do NOT want to confuse their children as to what is natural.
