This was about destroying the normal family and traditional marriage. It had very little to do with the homosexuals, except their being used as the vehicle.

Every state except Maryland voted against same-sex marriage. The only people who loved it were judges.

As evidenced by all the times in recent years when the voters chose to prohibit gay marriage by law, the only change is left wing judges overruling the will of the people.

If allowing Gay Marriage would shut them up once and for all, I’d be all for it.

But it will only encourage them to continue their attack on so-called “Heteronormative” society.

Sorry, it is abhorrent to 99% of our population but those who want to do other abhorrent things think that it’s okay to do anything and everything that is abhorrent.

All or nothing. Can’t wait till it’s nothing. Maranatha!

Just more evil at work. Queers and their enablers are the tip of Satan’s spear. It pierces, and great damage follows. We will pay.

I don’t know anyone who supports same sex marriage much less loves it. The articles in support of gay marriage usually show pictures of middle aged to old lesbians.

Marriage should be a sacrament. Homosexuals don’t want marriage. They only wanted civil unions for health benefits.

Same sex marriage is just a way for liberals to attack and criminalize Christians.

Americans made their bed with same-sex “marriage” when they embraced contraception. It was the sexual revolution (backed by contraception, and backstopped by abortion) that enabled the new idea that sex is for personal gratification. Once sex was seen to be unmoored from child-bearing, the sexual organs became nothing more than every person’s private entertainment center, available for use or abuse at the whim of the owner. It wasn’t gays that did this to us; it was red-blooded heteros who wanted sex without consequences. They are getting it now in spades.

Americans didn’t “learn to love” gay marriage. They had it rammed past their teeth by activist courts.

After a US Supreme Court decision this month, 30 of America’s 50 states will have gay marriage laws, which is testament to the sudden shift in attitudes towards same-sex unions in the US.

Ignorance on parade. Courts don't make laws under our constitutions. And a lawless, arbitrary court opinion does not equate to a 'sudden shift in attitudes' among the American people.

The headline should read “How American’s got gay marriage shoved down their throats despite voting against it”

I am optimistic on this issue. This is one issue I don't think the polling truly represents the attitudes of Americans. My daughter is a millennial, and I have talked to her about a lot of these issues to see if her generation is really that screwed up. On many of the issues she admits they are. She is very conservative, but works in a liberal industry. But on homosexuality, she says everyone she knows, that isn't homosexual, personally views it as a disgusting lifestyle. It is my opinion most of these people say it is ok because it hasn't intruded on their personal lives yet, but when it does, it will not be so readily accepted. I honestly believe someone with credibility is going to step up and proclaim the king naked, and this whole house of cards is going to crumble fast. But I could be looking at this through rose colored glasses.

Yep. Communist Goal #1. You can’t create a “new man” if you still have traditional families and belief in God.

Natural laws learned over thousands of years were mocked, ridiculed, overturned, and even outlawed. Toward the end, homosexual drill sergeants prowled the barracks grooming receptive teenage recruits. Hey, we were told, it’s their business, and who are you to judge them? Later, they could get married in the post-interfaith worship center by a military spiritual advisor (“chapels” and “chaplains” having been purged from the lexicon for favoring the Christian faiths) and then move on to adopting children.

And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldn’t adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Don’t be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.

If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the “gender reassignment” operation. And if kindergarten isn’t soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.

Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldn’t get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.

I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

We learned?

That is like saying that Africans learned to love the plantation life.

> “Two decades ago barely a quarter of Americans believed members of the LGBT community should enjoy equal marriage rights; now nearly two-thirds accept gay marriage.”

My God, what rubbish. Americans have passed amendment after amendment, law after law setting boundaries around the definition of marriage and they have been terrorized by a judiciary that rides roughshod over the will of the people.

But traditional society will get a handle on this judiciary in the year ahead.

Propaganda on television, newspapers, and in schools “turned the tide”. Doesn’t mean that people are comfortable with it. They were sold a lie by propagandists. 10-20% homo statistics, experiment, straight men on sit-coms playing loveable gay pals to neurotic women, gay newsrooms pushing the gay agenda without disclosing their personal connection to the issue...

It was by the Act’s of Federal Judges overturning what American’s Voted to maintain as being between a man and a woman to define marriage - not the people but activist judges.

The linkage to DATD is spot-on.

Consider this from: “THE CONSERVATIVE REFORMATION AND ITS THEOLOGY as represented in the Augsburg Confession and in the history and literature of the Evangelical Lutheran Church” by Charles P. Krauth, D.D. (1871). [Note date]

"But the practical result of this principle is one on which there is no need of speculating; it works in one unvarying way. When error is admitted into the Church, it will be found that the stages of its progress are always three.

It begins by asking toleration. Its friends say to the majority: You need not be afraid of us; we are few and weak; only let us alone; we shall not disturb the faith of others. The Church has her standards of doctrine; of course we shall never interfere with them; we only ask for ourselves to be spared interference with our private opinions.

Indulged in this for a time, error goes on to assert equal rights. Truth and error are two balancing forces. The Church shall do nothing which looks like deciding between them; that would be partiality. It is bigotry to assert any superior right for the truth. We are to agree to differ and any favoring of the truth, because it is truth, is partisanship. What the friends of truth and error hold in common is fundamental. Anything on which they differ is “ipso facto” non-essential. Anybody who makes account of such a thing is a disturber of the peace of the church. Truth and error are two co-ordinate powers, and the great secret of church-statesmanship is to preserve the balance between them.

From this point error soon goes on to its natural end, which is to assert supremacy. Truth started with tolerating; it comes to be merely tolerated and that only for a time. Error claims a preference for its judgments on all disputed points. It puts men into position, not as at first in spite of their departure from the Church’s faith, but in consequence of it. Their recommendation is that they repudiate that faith, and position is given them to teach others to repudiate it, and make them skillful in combating it." (pp. 195-196)
