Progressives use “right side of history’ as their stamp of approval because they can’t use ‘right side of God.’

No government license was required to get married until “Miscegenation Laws” were enacted, requiring a license for mixed race marriages.

It shocks the conscience how we manage to ignore a “separation of church and state” doctrine, and somehow turned over a religious act (marriage) to the government, to regulate.

This unfortunate turn of events is also how we began down the slippery slope of losing our children to the State via Parens Patriae, by making government a contracted part of our families and have a multi-billion dollar family court industry with all of its ancillary parasites (therapists, counselors, evaluators, child support enforcement officers, child protective services agents and a host of others) all dependent upon the destruction of the family for their livelihoods.

“I will cite only Judge Vaughn Walker as an example”

A faggot judge living with his “partner” should have recused himself from the case. What a bunch of BS the US Supreme Court could have cared less if Walker was a fag. He was a judge and in their eyes he is GOD.

These microaggressions come about when heterosexual people consider LGBTQ people to be sexual deviants or overly sexual. One example of this on a systemic level is the federal ban for any man who has had sex with another man to donate blood. So even if a man is HIV-negative and has been in a monogamous relationship all of his life, he is considered to be at risk and therefore an ineligible donor.

Any studies to indicate how many homosexuals ever have a 1-and-done monogamous for life relationship with a partner who also was a virgin and remains monogamous?

- Homosexuals are a small subset of the population.
- Monogamous people who only ever have 1 partner in life is a much smaller subset of the population than it once was.
- Homosexuals who remain monogamous even in marriage are a tiny subset of all of that.

And he wants us to accept the pink unicorn of two such persons (one or both of whom want to donate blood, even a smaller subset) to taint the nation's blood supply so hedonistic sodomites can feel better about themselves?

There is no “side” of history. These people are knuckleheads.

History is written by the victorious. We are engaged in a cultural revolution that began in post-WWII America as waged by Socialists. It continued through the 1960s as the red diaper doper babies began to go to college, and is now bearing fruit.

Walker: “Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.”

Walker's opinion is facially absurd. No state denies marriage licenses to gay men and lesbians.

What states deny are licenses for men to "marry" men, or women to "marry" women.

**People don’t marry each other. The government marries them. **

Are you familiar with the Sacrament of Matrimony?

The hands and the vows of the couple are most important!

Those that worked so hard to present the idea that marriage is only between a man and a woman should appeal these rulings to the supreme court.

Or the court of appeals and then when the leftist unconstitutional ruling Judges support the other Judges’ unconstitutional rulings, then to the supreme court.

This also should have been done for all the states that voted for limiting gov benefits to citizens, not illegal insurgent invaders, also.

The constitution needs to be interoperated correctly, not “changed” to suit the leftists.

There is nothing in the constitution that condones homosexuals getting married.

why in the hell do we have elections

We have elections because we were founded as a lawful and virtuous nation.

Obama and all his ilk are neither lawful nor virtuous.

They are playing by their own rules by which they are working to stomp on our necks until we are hammered into the ground like a nation littered with tent stakes.

Moochie and Bammer have told us about their desire to fundamentally change our nation...
