Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: First of all, it\'s not a precedent. this is the seventh or eighth state where a higher court has found anti-gay discrimination in marriage unconstitutional. \nSecondly, when so many rulings go in this direction, it can hardly be called "lawlessness". It\'s a call for lawful, constitutional interpretation of statutes.\nIt takes extraordinary intellectual dishonesty to pretend there is some "agenda" at work. These decisions are the consequence of two things: our long history of rationally applying those silly words about equality that folks smarter than this generation of politicians put in the Constitution AND a long-term correction of the misunderstandings of what homosexuality IS and what its consequences are.\nI know you don\'t personally believe it, but there is nothing wrong with us.
Response: Hey, laws are just laws, they can be overturned by any activist judge. So what is there about marriage which is absolute? If nothing, then anyone can marry anyone or anything, its just the whim of a judge which decides. That is where we are heading, and heading fast.\nThese laws stop them for now. But even five years ago, no one would have believed that same-sex marriage could be legislated over the objections of the voters. \nThe gay lobby argues that all love should be celebrated and marriage allowed, tradition notwithstanding. So, the next logical step is that a group of people are being discriminated against, or a human/pet couple is being discriminated against, and the rot spreads.
