Huge advances for gay marriage in an eventful year
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 6/26/14 | David Crary (AP)

Posted on 06/26/2014 3:06:49 PM PDT by madprof98

One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a pair of landmark rulings, one striking down the statute that denied federal recognition to same-sex marriages and the other clearing the way for gay couples to wed legally in California.

In the 12 months since then, the ripple effects of those rulings have transformed the national debate over same-sex marriage, convincing many people on both sides that its spread nationwide is inevitable.

From the East Coast to the Midwest and the Pacific, seven more states legalized same-sex marriage, boosting the total to 19, plus Washington, D.C. The Obama administration moved vigorously to extend federal benefits to married gay couples. And in 17 consecutive court decisions, federal and state judges have upheld the right of gays to marry. Not a single ruling has gone the other way.

Today conservatives are cheering because the Supreme Court threw us a couple of little bones. But in a larger sense, the courts have given the liberals all they wanted, an end to our most fundamental social institution, and hardly anyone (except the gloating leftists) even cares anymore.

And we only had to sacrifice half our Constitution to do it.

Good work America. :)

The federal courts have ushered the country into an era of neo pagan decadence and decline. First abortion and now the open endorsement of homosexuality. It would be very hard to sit on a federal jury and be a part of that system. Simply have lost respect for the institution.

America has been in steep decline for a long time, but it’s really reaching total ‘sewer’ status with this march towards embracing deviancy and perversion.

Hard to pinpoint a day in which things completely break, and America becomes an entirely debased and unsalvageablely evil entity, but for me, the day fag-marriage is imposed on the country will likely be it. The day I’ll happily see my own country burn to the ground.

When the Utah decision first came down back in December, there where probably 50 threads about a cable TV show reality star being suspended for saying gay acts are gross for every one thread about an actual state having it’s marriage amendment overturned by a federal judge. And that was on FR.

Forget combating terrorists, putting people back to work, Barry the Fairy is busy forcing the LGBT agenda.

People have stopped caring about the Lord, and that has beckoned in the devil.

I'd rather fail to appear and be held in contempt of court as I have little but contempt for those courts.

Floods from a spring thaw are “inevitable”. The damage from a tornado is “inevitable”. But this abomination and travesty called “gay marriage” is NOT “inevitable”. It is a fad, an aberration of the times, much like swallowing goldfish or flag-pole sitting was a fad during the early part of the 20th Century, or being a “flower child” in the early 1970’s. It is bingeing on excess of emotion and a madness that shall pass leaving those who once embraced it asking, “How could I have ever believed that?”

Like couples who did “mate swapping” or parties with cocaine as the drug of choice, the wages of these excesses are widespread grief and despair.

Much of the population has turned from the Judeo-Christian values that built this country; the left is simply eradicating (quite successfully) the last remnants from public life.

Just take names. Keep taking names of all these “judges”. When the eventual collapse happens and there is no more “federal government”; make sure these people who were “judges” are NO longer around to help us rebuild. They are not needed as they were part of the problem that led to collapse. For that matter, keep tabs on the leftists around you for later keeping. For sure they are keeping your name so stay safe.

Any nation that equates anal sex with marriage & family is so far gone there’s not much left to salvage. The entire West is dying.....some sort of collapse is coming.

This is what our men and women in uniform are serving; the US military has been remade into an instrument of social destruction. And yet, for all of this, we still hear nothing from conservatives but praise for “our troops.”

Gay marriage is a contradictory term.

Like Jumbo shrimp.

Or Madonna’s music.

Or Obama’s intelligence.

And Genesis 19, Romans 1, Isaiah 5:20 and Galatians 6:7 are more indicative of what the current forced celebration of perversion holds for society than the words of fallible, frail robed liberals on the bench.

Where’d you get all those links? I have a hard time finding links on homosexuality that aren’t all positive.
