Ladies and Gentlemen, now that we have been so thoroughly entertained by the liberal secular push for homosexual marriage legalization in all 50 states... {yay}... We can sit back and look forward to it's demise.
What's that, Boss? Did you mean to say "demise?" What's wrong with you man, the high court just ruled it constitutional across the land... it hardly seems likely we're going to see it's demise! What kind of drugs are you smoking these days? ...Yes, I know... bold statement... I've been known to make those here. It's what I do!
What the giddy left has not come down off their clouds enough to realize is how much vehement opposition is out there, who have no intention of accepting this as a "norm" of society. Oh yes, the studies all show there has been a growing acceptance of gay marriage but we have to look at the reason for this. Homosexuals represent somewhere around 10% of the population, studies vary but in that ballpark. The gay marriage initiative has been pushed largely by heterosexuals, not homosexuals. Heterosexuals, you have to believe, are not supporting it because homosexuality appeals to them personally, it is because there has been a perceived discrimination and inequity presented. The poor gays are being denied something.. that is what has fueled heterosexual support.
Now, what they have been denied is same-sex marriage licenses, which curiously didn't exist because marriage is the union of a man and woman. SCOTUS has now ruled that States cannot ban same-sex marriages through licenses which restrict that. So now, a marriage license has to be issued to same-sex couples the same as traditional male-female couples. Gay Marriage, here to stay, right? Not so fast....
There is no Constitutional requirement for the State to issue marriage licenses or recognize marriages of any kind. Regardless of whether they do or not, it doesn't change what any two people want to call marriage. I have pointed out numerous times in these long thread debates, that I attended a gay wedding in 1986, in rural Alabama.... of all places. No one came and stopped it, no one protested or caused a scene, it was a beautiful ceremony conducted by a Rastafarian pastor on a nice Spring day, on a mountainside in the country. We threw rice, the couple went on a honeymoon, they had a wedding cake and wedding album. In every sense of the word, in their hearts and souls, they are married. It does not matter that the State of Alabama doesn't recognize it.
So again, it is this perception of inequity and discrimination which has prompted the heterosexual support behind gay marriage. If States remove themselves from the issue by rendering marriage licensing obsolete, there is no more inequity or discrimination. Without that perception, the heterosexual support for gay marriage dissipates and eventually goes away, along with the popularity of gays marrying. After all, if there is no benefit to marriage from government, what is the point for homosexuals? Sure, there might be that rare case like the gay wedding I attended in 1986, but I am betting the vast majority of gay couples wouldn't really give a crap about "marrying" if there weren't some benefit.
Is my idea an unconventional strategy? Perhaps, but there are not many options remaining if we hope to get rid of this atrocious SCOTUS ruling. There isn't enough support to adopt a Constitutional Amendment and prohibition amendments don't historically last anyway. No other viable legal options remain, it's settled law according to SCOTUS. Keep in mind that even slavery could not be ended in this country without Amending the Constitution because of SCOTUS ruling.... even after a Civil War! So this is here to stay... as long as States authorize marriage licenses.
So Boss, how do we deal with the many intricacies of insurance, property rights, taxes, etc., if we don't have some government method of defining domestic partnerships? Well, contracts! That's how we do it. The same as my gay friends from 1986 have done it. They obtained a series of various contract agreements to cover those bases as they arose and they have no real issue in that regard other than taxation, which is minimal. And as more and more States abandon marriage licensing, this contract process will become more standard with insurance and other things... it will simply be a matter of filling out a form and submitting it... done! Equality!
Oh... So you're gonna take your ball and go home? Well, yes... in a manner of speaking, that's exactly what we are going to do. You didn't think we're just going to let you hijack the traditional institution of marriage and get away with that, did you? A non-sequitur... that's what you turn the SCOTUS ruling into. That effectively Kills Homosexual Marriage.
Homosexuals comprise roughly 2% of the overall population, not 10%... which is the mythical number that the Left has fabricated, as part and parcel of their Advocacy to Normalize Sexual Abnormality.
The Homosexual cult has had available to them, since the very first joining of multiple parties as one legal entity... the means to incorporate, wherein they would enjoy the same legal benefit of a legally recognized singular entity of multiple parties which intrinsically bring financial and other benefits, which they have consistently REJECTED.
And the reason that they have rejected it, is that there is no potential for that otherwise perfectly legitimate union, to legitimize sexual deviancy.
Just as "Sex Shops", Porn Shops and other 'businesses' which otherwise operate within 'The Law' do not enjoy any sense of legitimacy, the sexually deviant union of people of the same gender does not and will not be accepted as legitimate... and it is
legitimacy that the degenerate seek.
This however has ZERO to do with what those behind the MOVEMENT which Advocate to Normalize Sexual Abnormality... seeks.
IT SEEKS THE DESTRUCTION of Marriage... as a legally recognized entity. Because in removing the Legal recognition, it removes the legal protections customarily afford such... customs which stem from natural law... which are rooted in the deepest convictions of the human spirit and as such which are those ideas which are most fiercely defended.
And it does so, as the means by which the FRUIT of Legally Recognized Marriage can be PLUCKED in its earliest stages, for the purposes of satisfying the deepest depravity; the most twisted perversion of the human mind... THE ADULT PURSUIT OF CHILDREN, FOR SEXUAL GRATIFICATION.
You Argument is the most likely path to be taken in defense of the Federal Licensing of Degeneracy... thus is a readily predictable consequence of such, therefore such would be within the list of those things that those plotting this attack on the US Culture would have sought to cause.
Ergo, the plan is working perfectly...
Now you ask, "What should we have done?"
We should have never tolerated the first liberal, we should have never adopted the Civil Rights Legislation as it was enacted... which set up the addle-minded 'interpretations' which have echoed through to greater and more perverse 'interpretations', inevitably crippling the means to reason for a massive percentage of the Black population... and with it a large percentage of every other facet of US Culture... we should have never allowed Roe to stand, we should have never adopted DOMA, we should have never dropped the Sodomy Laws.
But they did... and as a result, the only potential solution is to burn the dysfunctional hulk that remains of the US to the ground, and rebuild it.... from the ground up, with due respect to the principles that served it so well for so long, as declared at its founding.
Many will disagree... and in that they will mark themselves as "THE PROBLEM" and when the say comes where there exists no advocacy for debauchery, degeneracy, the normalization of deviancy... THEN we will know that the foundation is set and that we have begun to rebuild a new soundly reasoned, viable culture... which will probably last another couple of hundred or so years, until it will be necessary to burn THAT down and reset the new culture upon those SAME principles, which will continue until it becomes possible for humanity to not forget from one generation to the next, why those principles exist.
