Another straw man to be set up and knocked down by yourself. Change divorce law? The same judicial tyranny that has been busy inventing a right to gay marriage would overrule any law that restricted divorce.

Massachusetts has had a constitution for 2 centuries and SUDDENLY a few judges discover a "right" to gay marriage.
The reason marriage is not spelled out as a union of man and woman in our laws is that the concept was so self evident, that no one thought to codify it in the law. Just like no one thought to specify marriage didn't apply to the live stock .

California overwhelmingly passes a law defining marriage and a local official thumbs his nose at the law and the court refuses to act. Nothing as simple as a law will overturn that, the justices, our masters, have spoken.

Just when did we pass a law legalizing abortion in the US? It was illegal, by law in almost every state when the SCOTUS discovered an "implied right" in the "penumbra" of a right to privacy.

And once those "few areas" legalize it, you know damn well the SCOTUS will force the recognition of those marriages in EVERY state because of Article VI "full faith and credit clause" in the constitution.

The same groups pushing the gay agenda are those that have relentlessly championed every other assault on marriage. Now that those have born their bitter fruit, they move on and make the very concept of marriage an obscene joke.

Cause thats what's really going on here. It's not about marriage per se, thats the smoke screen. It's about trying to get us all to have to accept homosexuality as normal and acceptable. THATS the real agenda here.

Then we agree. The issue of gay marriage has nothing to do with protecting children or defending the institution of marriage, which is supposedly so sacred but is entered and left at will in this country (you would think that if people thought it really was sacred they would take it more seriously).

All of this claptrap about a constitutional amendment (something which, if passed, is destined to mimic the history of the 18th Amendment) is really about whether or not we approve of people having sex with a member of the same sex. I agree. That's exactly what this is about. And it is disgusting to me that we would tinker with the most cherished and venerated public document created over the last 200 years over something so crass.
