    Journalist Tresa Baldas wrote for The Detroit Free Press 6 November 2014:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld same-sex marriage bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, issued its decision three months after hearing same-sex marriage cases from all four states. In each of those states, federal judges had struck down same-sex marriage bans on constitutional grounds.


    In a 2-1 vote, the Sixth Circuit overturned those decisions, concluding the definition of marriage should be left to the voters -- not judges -- and that voters should be allowed to decide whether gay marriage is a good idea or not.


    "Not one of the plaintiffs' theories ... makes the case for constitutionalizing the definition of marriage and for removing the issue from the place it has been since the founding: in the hands of state voters," the court wrote.

    We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~

    The main problem with democracy is that it allows for tyranny by majority.

    The only way to make Islam sound compatible with the modern world is to lie about it.

    Journalist John Hanna wrote for The Associated Press 31 October 2014:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Kansas attorney general's office told a federal judge Friday that he should not consider blocking the state from enforcing its gay-marriage ban until the state Supreme Court weighs in, while the American Civil Liberties Union argued same-sex couples suffer legal harm if the judge delays a decision. The arguments came in a hearing on the ACLU's request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of Kansas' gay-marriage ban while U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree considers the group's lawsuit on behalf of two lesbian couples.


    ...Kansas law has never recognized same-sex marriages, and voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the state constitution in 2005 to add a gay-marriage ban.

    Some may wonder why the ACLU fights so hard for "Gay Rights", and the "Illegal Alien Causes".

    Romero is the ACLU's sixth executive director, and the first Latino and openly gay man to serve in that capacity.

    That won't last long IMO.

    The U.S. Supreme Court has not yet weighed in on the issue of gay marriage. Now that there's a split in the federal appeals courts on the issue -- the gay-marriage movement has won 30-plus cases in the last year -- the Supreme Court will likely take up the issue, she said.
    "We feel the Supreme Court was waiting for this," Nessell said. "We're looking forward to this issue being resolved once and for all for in this country, and I have every confidence that by the end of June 2015, there will be marriage equality in all 50 states."

    April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, a lesbian couple living in Michigan, bring their case under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. There is nothing equal about two gays and the traditional man-woman marriage. Two women do not equal one man and one woman.




    From Fox News 7 January 2011:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications — The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says. “The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"


    “Even though my partner was their legal mother, had adopted them after I gave birth to them, she still had to put her name in the father field, and that is both discriminatory and makes us feel like second-class citizens,” she said.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    article


    Gays seem to be suffering from an identity crisis: they actually believe that a woman is a husband. Continuing on from their victories in the courtrooms on the gay marriage issue, they will next be petitioning for removal of "HUSBAND" and "WIFE" from our documents. Then, petition for removal of FATHER'S DAY and MOTHER'S DAY from the calendars so that they won't feel uncomfortable when the time arrives.

    Incorrect. In a majority of the states right now they can marry, which makes equal. Besides SCOTUS already laid the groundwork as Equal Protection applying.

    Cynthia and Robert Gifford are caught in a same-sex nightmare. They’ve been forced to defend themselves against claims that they’re lesbian-hating homophobes. ...The Giffords, who own the bucolic Liberty Ridge Farm in upstate New York, were ordered to pay a total of $13,000 — a $10,000 fine to the state and another $1,500 to each member of a lesbian couple to compensate them for “mental anguish.’’ All because the Giffords, devout Christians, refused to hold a same-sex wedding ceremony on the property on which they live, work and have raised a daughter, 17, and a son, 21.


    ...“We’ve gone from tolerance to compulsion,’’ the Giffords’ lawyer, James Trainor, told me. ...“I think there is an effort under way to change the social order,’’ said Trainor. “One way is by redefining marriage.’’

    This is what happens when you give those faggots an inch: they want it all


    Chances are, the faggots really don't care about those people or their farm: they just want to insinuate their lifestyle into every nook and cranny they can find.

    And why should they? They're just not into supporting the proliferation of faggotry.

    H'm. I can't imagine any Leftie not being happy with such a statement.

    It all makes for a highly pessimistic worldview. All this chip-chip-chipping away of Christian values ... by what means, short of full-blooded Conservatism coming to the fore, will this process be stopped ?

    I daresay that one day, some Leftie or other will proclaim that acceptance of devil-worshipping is 'politically correct', since one mustn't be discriminatory !!!!
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    Not that the actual topic is anything more than hating gays.

    Homosexuality... same sex marriage... equal protection under the law for gays... gay, gay, gay...


    Of all that is wrong in this world, in this country, the gays must, by far, be the most pressing issue...


    Why, they must be the cause of all that is wrong...

    Damn lefties.

    Theodore Olson

    Olson was nominated for the office of Solicitor General by President Bush on February 14, 2001, was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 24, 2001, and took office on June 11, 2001. In July 2004, Olson retired as Solicitor General and returned to private practice at the Washington office of Gibson Dunn....
    Olson, over time, came to believe that there is a constitutional right for same-sex marriage.[6] In 2009 he joined with David Boies, his opposing counsel in Bush v. Gore, to bring a federal lawsuit, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, challenging Proposition 8, a California state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.[7] His work on the lawsuit earned him a place among the Time 100's greatest thinkers.[8] In 2011 Olson and David Boies were awarded the ABA Medal, the highest award of the American Bar Association.[9]
    Dick Cheney
    Dick Cheney, the former U.S. vice president known for his hard right stance on almost all matters political, is taking a stand in Maryland for gay marriage. Cheney, whose daughter is openly gay, has been lobbying Maryland lawmakers as they debate whether or not to legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Cheney believes states should legalize gay marriage individually.

    I don't like gays pushing their sexuality. I have worked with several and none that I worked with actually do that, but I know they do it at times with gay marches and the like.
