We are dealing with it. Every time ignorant jackasses try to enforce their morality over our rights,
Ignorant jackasses.....????? Where? Are you speaking to the process here, the fact that most people are voting no when asked if ssm should be legal in their state? What of the non-activist? The voter strolling to the polls as in California in 2008. Overwhelmingly, he or she votes for Obama. But in even greater reverse order, reject same sex marriage? Is that ignorance?
I mean, it an easy question, most everyone has been involved with marriage at some point in their life or friends or family are married, we all get the issue. Should members of the same gender be the equal to the one man one woman committment our society defines as marriage. There aren't lies and deceit, no one is ignorant, no one is being a jackass, this issue isn't clise in referendum in deep blue states and getting soundly defeated in moderate states like Maine and Hawaii, scorched to shreds in red states.
No one is being an ignorant jackass, using emotion to argue your points isn't getting anywhere, it's not helping convince anyone.
they will find another fight elsewhere. And we will work through the courts, through community action, through law suit after law suit, through ballot measures...everything.
Who are "they"? No doubt, you are speaking to the actual 'jackass ignorants' here, the actual individuals doing the actual shoving of morals down other's throats...yes?
And eventually, ignorant jackholes will lose the will to fight and their money will dry up because the fanaticism behind this drive to deny equality will burn out and fade.
You are correct, I believe the same sex marriage movement has seen its high tide. 4 of 46 states, there may be a few more, however I think the activism on the Left's part has emboldened many states to change their constitutions, I think the public turns against it. The country's demographics are changing rapidly and the rising numbers of minority and first generation Americans oppose it. The election results and referendum data we've looked at repeatedly show this.
But the human tendancy toward freedom and liberty does not fade.
Hopefully, you're correct and society will retain the ability to define its own institutions. We the People really do need to be the final say here, I agree.
We have momentum on our side. And they have...well...nothing really except an empty ache to make others subjugates of a failing morality.
Youve got a Doma...and the just recent defeats in NY, Maine, and California. You've got over 30 states with amendments not recognizing other state's marriages specifically defining theirs as one man one woman. You've got many other states endeavoring into domestic partnerships.
Four states have approved, I'm not aware of exactly how those states became to accept same sex marriage, hopefully the process was via legislative manner. I simply do not think as far as defining marriage is concerned, that the courts or the executive branch get a say. This is a legislative domain.
