You don't understand my position. The state should not be endorsing any sexual relationship of any kind. Marriage should be done on a private basis with no state involvement....This should cause only religious folk to get married, although, secular people are free to get married by their pagan priest or priestess, but why bother?...If not, what is a compelling argument for a secular state to be involved with sexual unions?
To entice the provision of both a mother and father for girls and boys that the state anticipates will statistically arrive in marriages. That provision was revoked without infants agreeing to disaffirm that implied contract. Even if they wished to disaffirm it, they couldn't. Because providing a mother and father in marriage was why the marriage contract was conceived of (pun intended) in the first place; and providing a mother and father to girls and boys is a necessity society can't strip from them out of a convenient and contemporary favor to gays.
Bottom line is..........what is a republic and free country..........one where the voters choose across states to ban behavior, or one where they vote to ban behavior then have their government tell them their vote means nothing?
This is how the left constantly does it's shtick! If they win at the ballot box, they insist they have a mandate. If they lose, they use the courts to overturn the will of the people. This is why we consider it tyranny!
Consider-------> if they had the support for all the ideas they have they claim to, a constitutional amendment, or putting the idea to a vote would basically solve their problem. What could we actually say, just like them electing Obama the 2nd time. We can scream the policy stinks, or America made a mistake, but the will of the people were executed, period.
Instead, they circumvent the peoples will, and enforce their policies no matter what we say at the ballot box on any issue, by using the courts if they can. Consistently on this issue the people spoke en mass, and after usurping the will of the people of multiple states, they come on here and tell everyone there is something wrong with us!
And now, and now............they tell the people who support candidates who want to do things constitutionally, we are all crazy, wingnuts, etc. Why? If they have the majority of the people behind them, they can just vote in people who will give them what they want.
I will tell you why........because they do NOT have the majority of the people behind them, and the candidates who point out what Washington DC has done against the will of the vast majority of people, are poison to those who want to keep us under the yoke of a one man band with a pen and phone. These candidates are stirring up a tremendous backlash against their ability to just cram garbage down our throats, and the only way to get the conversation back into the realm of their narrative is to SHUT THEM UP, and make them go away so as the hornets nest they have stirred does not show at the ballot box and sweep the lot of them out of power.
