Here's a "what if". Say a homosexual couple marry and have a nice life together. But, as sometimes happens, the couple decide to get a divorce. Since we're all championing the "equal rights regardless of..." cry, will one member of the couple be allowed to sue for alimony? If not, why not? Shouldn't they have the right to, metaphorically, screw the other?

Once all states have recognised SSM, they will fade into the background. There will be no need for anything unless the woos continue to discriminate and then perhaps only an ACLU type activism. Here in SA, the gay pride parades do not make the news anymore as they have what they campaigned for - equality under the law.

No church is forced to marry them of even recognise their unions and can refuse membership based on articles of faith. They cannot however go in the public square and discriminate against them as that is slander bordering on hate speech and visa versa.

Just as they faded into the background, so too have the woos.

Then again, even when there was no equality, our society was very very tolerant of them.

Once you CHOOSE to mind your own business they will mind their own.

This is also not a sign of the end ov daze. That is just a silly superstition you have been conned into and by now you should be aware, your ilk are losing the battle of wits rather dramatically. I am sure as all you woos do, is point out the great falling away, knowledge will increase et al. as self fulfilling prophesies to keep the mindless holding onto a false hope of a (never) returning messiah. ALL of the predictions and ALL of the end ov daze folk in history were WRONG.

Jesus is not returning as he never existed in the first place. He is a made up collage man-god incorporating multiple myths. If you ever bothered to study the bible, origins, original texts, church history, you would come to the same conclusion.

As it stands, you are an uneducated christian who does not know the history of their faith and that is par for the course in the USA.

I suspect folk like you suffer from OCD b/c most folk really do not give a hoot how others live their lives.

There is a saying that summarises folk like you.

Misery seeks its own company.

In reality, you have no knowledge of what will occur. This is nothing more than your own trivial opinion.

Default Is the purpose of homosexual "marriage" to eradicate traditional marriage and morality?

I don't think so. That was one person's feeling, belief or opinion and shouldn't be construed as to what everyone else's opinions are.

of course its about destroying the institution of marriage. Liberals wont admit that or they say "it will strengthen marriage" which I guess they mean to do so is to destroy it. Homosexuals have a different view as to what they call monogamous.

The institution of marriage is going to change and it should change, and again I don't think it should exist."

"Kind of like"... not what I was commenting on.

"A" for effort though.

Of course.
What kind of stupid question is this?

I'm not sure of your age range, but society was so different just a decade or so ago. Families appeared to be more intact and people seemed more honest. In the last few years, our nation appears to have undergone a dramatic shift.

I see a fair amount of masculine/aggressive women and a number of guys, wearing wigs, tight pants and makeup. Also, society just seems far more violent. When I was a teen, I don't recall seeing so much violence. In my opinion, things are changing for the worst. Much of what is currently transpiring, appears to fit neatly in with the religious teachings about the last days, when people don't know right from wrong.
I'm not sure of YOUR age range, but a decade ago is NO TIME AT ALL. I harken back to a time when there was a LOT of violence in the streets, fighting for racial and women's equality, which too many now take for granted. Politicians were still corrupt and our own militia shot at unarmed college students.

If you read history past your own limited existence, you will see societal growth over hundreds of years is not something that "neatly fits into religious teachings of the last days, when people don't know right from wrong."
