Get ready for “climate change.”

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 29For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Lev:18

In 2013, rather than the 1950s, a technical error on a marriage certificate wouldn’t cause anyone consternation. But let’s say, for some reason or another, the government invalidated my marriage. Would it matter? Not really.

It makes a huge difference on a myriad of issues, including taxes, pension benefits, healthcare benefits and many others

If gay people want to marry more power to them, it has ZERO effect on me, my life (or anyone else’s), so leave it alone

The same narrow minded comments were made about same sex intimacy, Pandora’s box has been opened, Silver and myself say watch what transpires, hooray for trams species alliances. What happens in our stable is our business. Stay out.

Don’t sweat it….divorces will skyrocket past the usual 50%….the modernism proponents face massive relationship nightmares! Where do you fit….nowhere…stay out of others’ affairs….let them sort out the agonies of what they whimsically wrought!

Should have been a jackass, Sean. Would have been a much better match.

Perhaps you should move to a country that has more “respect” for religion. Iran would be a good start.

Exactly, me and my horse, SIlver, just wed. What a country.

Imagine the chaos of having, respective, marriages ruled by religious institutions only, and the state having no legal part in those marriages–crazy! Marriage is a legal contract, and each should be guided by the legal tenants of the state/country in which the couple resides–the status quo, thank god. Each couple is free to sanctify their union within their chosen religion with whatever type of religious ceremony/practice is used.

This decision by the Supreme’s give Jerry Clown the legal right to ignore Prop 13. This ruling invalidates the 10th amendment. This creates judicial chaos. Any gov or state attorney general can ignore any law. Is there any difference from a law passed by the legislature or my the citizens voting? If only the governor and the attorney generals across this country have ‘standing’, then we have a dictatorships.
This is insane.
