“So we should just give up and stop trying?”
Not at all. I voted for the amendment in my state. It passed by 57% or so. But I think that it probably won’t matter eventually. With the state involved, at least in the modern era, the definition it uses to recognize the institution is simply whatever judges, pols, or the majority think it is at anyone time. That’s it, that’s all it ever will be. It could coincide with the actual definition, or it could be an impossibility like ‘gay marriage.’ And with the state involved, it can and will punish those faiths when they disagree with whatever the state decides to call marriage at the time. Pope Leo XIII saw it coming 130 years ago.
“This is the boomers rebelling against their parents one last time. Once the boomers are gone, who’s left to champion this?”
Hey, I hope you are correct. But looking at the amendments, when and where they passed, and by how much, I’m not seeing a positive trend.

Where’s the money going to come to pay and prop up this nonsense? We’re broke. The gay marriage folks know this. They know that once the government is bankrupt the show is over for them, because nobody’s going to listen to them anymore.
There are plenty of us young folks who have had this ‘gay is good’ crap shoved down our throats by our parents and I’ve even been sent to a therapist to ‘correct’ me.
I know there are plenty of conservative freepers out there - but surely you see our frustration with your colleagues? The same hippy morons you dealt with in the past? I live with two of them right now (no running hot water because they can’t get their shit together to pay their damn bills.)
