What do you mean by "collapse?" Fall into the sea or something?
More proof the baby boom generation is the most self centered to date in America. No concern for posterity it's all about them.

Younger Americans will have to spend our lifetime cleaning up their mess. Gay marriage just adds to the list.

True but it was never banned federally nor was it ever banned in all states. There is nowhere in the world where one can be killed by the state for marrying someone of another race but there are places in the world where you can be executed for being homosexuality. Now the USA wants to legitimize something most of the world criminalizes.

I guess this is progress.

Well... I'd like to hear you say that to a woman whose husband took off with some woman he's boinking, and she's having to raise her child by herself or with the help of her family. Wonderful and fulfilling experience of having a PARENT, that's what you should be worried about. Why aren't you is what I don't get.

Interracial marriage means marriage between individuals of different races, e.g. between black and white, or Asian and black, etc. A particularly odious holdover from slavery and Jim Crow in the United States was the fact that marriage between whites and blacks was illegal in many states until such laws were struck down by the Supreme Court in 1967.

In 30 years when gay marriage will have been a long established fact, you'll be telling everyone within earshot that you supported it back when it was unpopular to do so.

Um. No.
What makes our country morally weaker is people like you who refuse to let other people live their lives without trying to cause trouble for them.
There are also many other factors in what makes this country weak...but none of them is homosexuality.

WHY?

Given the divorce/infidelity rates in heterosexual relationships do you really think they're so all-fired 'valued'?

The US is more likely to collapse if it's taken over by a group of self-righteous, judgmental, tunnel-visioned hypocrites who think they and only they are qualified to judge just what is 'moral' and what is not.
