I have already lost a number of friends over the last few days because of this issue. I expect to lose nearly all of them and a good part of my livelihood as well. I don’t care. I will not yield one millimeter. I will fling my beliefs into their faces with all my strength. I will never accept the validity of “gay marriage”, even if it means going to jail.
I hope that refusing to acknowledge homosexual “marriage” becomes a crime. I look forward to going to jail for this. That’s where a Christian belongs in a pagan culture anyway in jail, or in the Coliseum. If they don’t hate you, you’re not doing the job Christ sent you to do.
They want a culture war? Let’s give them a culture war. Let’s fill their jails to the rafters with singing, victorious Christians. Let’s show them we can’t be broken, cajoled, compromised with, or enslaved. Let’s show them that, like Jesus, all they can do is kill us.

Christians in America need a significant revival before they’re going to be up for that.

The natural end of the contraceptive mentality embraced several decades ago. We've finally arrived.
If marriage is not ordered to procreation and children are not viewed as the supreme gift of marriage, then marriage has already been redefined.
From that point onwards, it's just a matter of time............

Speaking from the belly of the beast in Connecticut, when gay marriage became legal here a few years ago (dictated by our RINO Gov), it wasn't even front page news in the paper. It featured on local talk radio for maybe two days.
My point is, while your passion is commendable, that strategy simply won't work everywhere.

Not to mention divorce, turning marriage for many into just another lousy gov’t contract to be broken and resumed as long as the state says it’s OK.

Everything the author says is correct. This is common ground and is good for the church! Unity in the Spirit.

Come to the cabaret of corruption. Next Polygamy (we must cave in to our Islamic friends not to mention Mormon Cultists) Then, sex with children. Look to see a totally hedonistic society before thing cave in and a “New Order” takes over and brings back morality at a price. The only question—who will be the new leader? What will be the American Swastika? A torch? The statue of Liberty? Paul Revere on a horse? Downside: No freedoms, no guns.
Upside: Safe streets and jobs for all. America will be great again! Any one who says no will go to the camps in Alaska.

....while your passion is commendable, that strategy simply won't work everywhere That depends on what you think the "strategy" intends to achieve. What do you think was Stephen's strategy in Acts 7? Do you think he succeeded, or failed?

We might be cell mates. Do you prefer the top bunk or the bottom bunk? That's assuming they don't throw us in solitary for being guilty of "hate crimes". In that case we might have to learn to tap out the prayers of the Rosary in Morse Code on the cell walls. I wonder if that's ever been done before? We'll be classified as
"haters". Potentially violent criminals who are a threat to peace-loving homosexuals.
Perhaps they'll send us to Guantanamo.
By that time Castro and communism will be gone and Catholicism will be flourishing once again in Cuba. We'll have come full circle and the good guys will be in Havana and the bad guys will be in Washington.

"When they do that," he said, "it's the end." He meant "the end" of the Christian civilization whose values used to form the basis of American common life. Fr. Marx, in a prophetic sense, saw rightly that a society cannot survive the perverse manipulation of the very structure of reality that God Himself has revealed to us, one very fundamental element of which is the institution of marriage. When we allow that to be changed-"It's the end."
