Some good insight into the continuing degradation of our society.

I agree. It’s an emotional issue designed to take people’s attention away for the economic crisis and failings of the Obama administration.

Every day...I hear gay this, gay that....They’re one big pain. Their agenda is to make us all pro-gay or go to jail.

NOT socially inconsequential at all. This is a free ticket for child molesters. It is a club against Christians. It is a powerful influence to change attitudes about commitment, family, and the social structure of the culture. NOT inconsequential.

You know America is in deep Kimchi when the #1 issue is “gay marriage”. Geeesh. We’ve got too many morons living in this country. No wonder the country is in the toilet.

Missoauri gal, you are 100% right. Sex, gender, marriage and family ae the very basis of individual and social development. Pervert them, and everything gets perverted. Which means, tisted away from real human goodness --- tisted away from genuine human flourishing.

And yes, homosexual practices are perversions.

Even if they are done by heterosexuals.

Why do the 2-3% who are homosexuals have such huge political/social/cultural clout? It´s no great mystery. It´s the huge numbers of "straight" allies who are into similar or identical perversions.

And who share the identical underlying philosophy: sex is primarily for adult gratification. It has no other dimensions of meaning. Or, if it does have other dimensions (the making of a permanent, exclusive bond that lasts until death, the procreation of children, the union of the sexes, the consummation of the solemn vows of fidelity, the blessing of Almighty God) those other meanings are secondary or tertiary, and entirely optional.

It´s only "adult gratification" which is considered non-negotiable.

That´s the root of ALL perversion.

Even if it remains unspoken, I think everybody knows that.

The long time problem with politicians is that when they are trying to get elected, they claim to have values and beliefs that their voters support.

Then after they get elected, they abandon their pre-election values and beliefs and adopt those of the other side.

Referring to Republicans of course.

The Democrats stay true to their hard core socialist/fascist beliefs.

NOT socially inconsequential at all.

That's right. God does not call Homosexuality "inconsequential" at all. He says it is an "Abomination" to Him (Leviticus 18:22) and to Israel a warning "lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean" (18:26). Will the God who dealt severely with Ancient Egypt and Babylon turn a blind eye on our sin? Oh, No!

“Gay marriage is rubbed in the public’s face, like every other part of the gay agenda, but the real practical impact of gay marriage is zilch.”

The ‘gay marriage’ fight is about using the power of the state to punish those who will never buy into ‘gay marriage’ or whatever other impossibility the state decides to call marriage at the time. Who you can hire, who you can do business with, what insurance you have to provide. Not zilch, in my opinion.

If you would have told someone 30 years ago about ‘gay marriage’ being accepted in 9 states in 2012 they would have thought you were nutso. I think it is reasonable to at least speculate that in 30 years from now, the state may be punishing those faiths who will not accept ‘gay marriage’ by fines, loss of tax exempt status, whatever. After all, ‘gay marriage’ is being framed as a civil right.

I disagree with the author.

Once gay “marriage” is an accepted norm, the next step is to go after the remaining churches that refuse to perform gay “marriages”

Almost every major societal problem today can be traced back to government intrusion, manipulation and clumsy attempts to control and mold our thought and behavior.

Big Government means big problems cause by government.

Hillary Clinton came out yesterday as a supporter of gay marriage

Interesting timing.

I wonder why she didn't come out for gay marriage when she was visiting Mohammed Morsi in Egypt back when she was Secretary of State.

2% of the population? They are so committed, so militant they have in less than 20 years taken the approval of their disgusting lifestyle that fewer than 25% of the population thought was marriageable and moved it to over 50% say they should be able to be married.

OK, so the supreme court says yes and I hope that is just for CA and not a blanket across the land for every state like abortion? Then what will they want?

Do you think they are going to stop there? What do they really want?

All that being said, the proponents of homosexual marriage will not stop if (or, God forbid, when) it is codified. They will simply take it to the next step.

Namely, bisexual marriage. After all, who are we to say that a man who loves a man who also loves woman should not allowed to marry.

from the article....
Apparently their polls have told them it’s time to change their principles.

Am not buying it. My theory is this issue and many others are agenda driven. There are lies and liars, and then there are statistics and lies. I vote with we are being lied to.

That is the real and underlying reason for the left to push gay marriage. To destroy the church.

Once it is considered acceptable, gays will be going into churches and demanding they marry them. If the church refuses for religious reasons, they will be taxed or shut down and the pastor put in jail.

It was never because the average gay wants to get married.

In less than 20 years, the love that 'dare not speak its name' has become the issue that won't just shut the Hell up!

And government has restricted our Right of free speech and our right of free association by making it a hate crime to point out the perverts for what they are.

Geez! It's become a topsy-turvy world.

I disagree. Based on their behavior I’ve come to the conclusion most Republican politicians have no beliefs. For them it is all about winning elections and feeding at the public trough. In contrast, the Democrats are united and relentless in forcing their world view on the public.
