“Its not enough that these loonies can legally marry . . .”

This is not a personal criticism of you, as I know exactly what you’re saying, but simply an indication of how much the cultural destruction by the left involves the manipulation of language, which eventually ensnares us all.

Homosexuals have always had the legal right to marry, and among intellectual circles in late 19th century / early 20th century England, it wasn’t that uncommon (for example, the lover of Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West, whose sexual partners were mostly lesbian was married to the diplomat Harold Nicolson, whose sexual activity was almost exclusively homosexual).

What they weren’t allowed to do (up until about a decade ago) is to change the definition of marriage. If it isn’t consummated, it ain’t a marriage - it’s something approximating a marriage, no matter what the law says.

Of course, one needs only change the definition of “consummate” to get around that little detail, and that just requires a little more language manipulation.

Of course it total BS and against God but it known as state sanctioned, legalized gay marriage. As in two gays marrying at the justice of the peace or city hall.
