Re: Equal rights/Same Sex Marriage how long until its a national reality?

I am one of three.
We do not have that high a level of people, as long as we have conservatives, the homosexual will never be "equal"...
Never...well, give it 100 years....time heals all wounds...

yeah by then serial killers and animal lovers will be accepted as normal too, fingers crossed:doh

I'm going to trust that America will withstand this onslaught of moral decay.

America will be fine once gay people have all of the rights that straight people have all over the USA, but some of the people in the far-right evangelical/Mormon group might have a problem dealing with the new reality that's right around the corner, time-wise.

I really don't think that anyone on our current Supreme Court will vote against equal rights for all Americans. Who would want historians to write that about them?

That's why I chose the 0-5 year option in the poll. This is going to happen a lot sooner than a lot of people think.

Wait and see.

Re: Equal rights/Same Sex Marriage how long until its a national reality?

I voted never.

That's wishful thinking, not reality.

That's the way that I see it also. Few people on the right are going to put their political careers on the chopping block by launching a foredoomed attack on gay rights.

Those who do will live to regret that decision.
 
Re: Equal rights/Same Sex Marriage how long until its a national reality?

I voted 5-10 years. I think the majority of states will probably allow gay marriage in 5, but there will be a few holdouts who will fight it tooth and nail until they finally fall but that will take some time. By 2025, I think 100% of the states will respect marriage equality.

Correct.

Polls show that support for gay marriage is growing and will be much stronger in the future.

Those who oppose this will lose.

Well, last year I probably wouldn't have said this, but right now I'm inclined to believe that by 2020 (That's 7 years from now.) gay marriage will be a reality everywhere in the USA.

I don't see any reason why that can't happen.

Attitudes have changed, and are changing rapidly. I don't believe that the religious right has enough strength to stop this.

Within 5 years. The courts seem to be going more and more that way in showing support for this.

Actually, it won't. I'm still waiting for proof that all homosexuals are born gay. I have a drug addict niece who's trying to figure out whether she's a lesbian or not. Until irrefutable proof surfaces on that front, gay people will be getting more rights than straights. In other words, gay people are selfish and think only about what THEY want, not what the majority of the country needs -- a society free of moral decay.

Yeah I had similar reasoning but I thought it was possible it might take slightly longer at 10-15. I wouldn't be shocked if the courts punt on the issue that by the late 2020's you have a few select states that still have some sort of hedge on SSM. Though I think it's unlikely to last beyond 2030. I think most states will shift in the next few years, before the decade is out.

While you're waiting for something that's already been established a lot of gay couples will be getting married.

Welcome to reality.

While I'm waiting for your link to a reliable source, welcome to the opposition. ;)

Wait all you like. Whether or not they're born gay doesn't matter anyway.

Sure it does. It proves gay people have nothing to do with Loving v Virginia. It proves homosexuality is a choice. It proves homosexuals are so self absorbed that they don't care about anything outside of their own lives. Gay marriage is a pervert's experiment; a whimsical fancy. It's a farce, and it needs to be stopped.

Oklahoma's statute just got struck down :)

I want to see it for Georgia. With my ex wife in a committed relationship with her might as well be wife at this point, I want to see that set further in stone. It would be good for my kida to be in the most stable environment that can be provided.

Try placing your kids with the state. It sounds like Foster Care is their best shot.

Gee thanks for your vote of confidence on my parenting skills ...

Asshole

That was pretty low and actually more of a confirmation of what he was saying.

It's only logical. YOU, left you out of the equation, so that left your lesbian ex-wife and the state. What other options are there? I guess there are other family members. Is that the case?

Not when you actually read his posts. I guess it's low if you're a liberal, but I'm not concerned about offending liberals. I can say "Christmas Tree" and that would send at least half of you running to the nearest mod.

Proving they aren't born gay doesn't necessarily prove its a choice.

...

They are my kids. I identified them as my kids... Therefore I am involved as identified by the context I used ...

My children are happy, well adjusted, and healthy and I make sure of that. Their mother loves just as fiercely as I do.

Your comments were inappropriate and you should apologize for them

What, it's a disease they pick up along the way then?
