The HETEROSEXUAL-ONLY MARRIAGE advocates want everyone to be the same. CP is on point with this Soviet Union joke “In America, you have the right to say Reagan is an evil man. And in Russia, we have the right to say Reagan is an evil man. You see? We have the same rights as you!”

Jack Melhoff thusly;

“AJD, all of the United States citizens are treated equally under the law. The law says that marriage is between a man and a woman.”

LOL! Gay and straight people have the same rights because they both have the right to marry straight? Got it.

Reminds me of an old Soviet joke. “In America, you have the right to say Reagan is an evil man. And in Russia, we have the right to say Reagan is an evil man. You see? We have the same rights as you!”

As far as the article goes, it’s not wrong. Just terribly optimistic. Gay marriage *will* be legalized, but it’ll take a couple generations. The baby boomers are squarely against it. We’re squarely for it. Our kids will be “Is this a question?” for it.

America will NEVER condone same-sex marriage at the expense of innocent children and those yet to be born. We must take every action to protect our younger members of society from unwanted gay tyranny in the public square. ---Bills

Which essentially much means that America will condone Same-Sex Marriage. That's because same-sex couples have been shown to make great parents, only have children because they truly want them, often wanting to adopt children apparently unwanted by heterosexuals that either could not care for them, or whose families disintegrated, or that did not want to abort their unborn children. The only "tyranny in the public square" at work in the case of SSM is that of liars and cheats that have no legitimate arguments left to put forth against SSM and must resort to pseudo-science, distortions, and hate mongering to perpetuate the revenue streams and activism of the anti-gay industry. These illegitimate pretenders to morality are the tyrants unwanted by America.

Jack said “If you don’t want to marry a person of the opposite sex, that’s your business. You have the same rights as anyone else.”.

Wrong. If Jack has the right to marry Alice, Mary deserves the same right he has to marry Alice. If that isn’t the case (and in most U.S. states it isn’t) we don’t have equal rights.

Isn’t it fascinating: Jack suggesting gays go live in a theocratic nation. It seems to me he would like the United States to be such a theocracy: Only those who believe in his version of religious marriage shall have any rights.

Timothy, the guy’s obviously a troll. Why else would he use the name “Jack Mehoff?”

Jack,

Sorry, Pal. But as an Iowa legislator said this week, you’ve already lost. Time is on our side. All of your desperate claims otherwise are not going to change the flow of time.

AJD, all of the United States citizens are treated equally under the law. The law says that marriage is between a man and a woman. If you don’t want to marry a person of the opposite sex, that’s your business. You have the same rights as anyone else. If you don’t like the “United States of Hypocrisy” then leave. Try Saudi Arabia and see if your gay marriage idea gains any traction over there.

LOL!!
Desperate people will believe anything that agrees with their hopes and dreams.
Hate to crush them folks, but the public is squarely against gay marriage and it isn’t going to reverse its opinion in 15 years.
Equal rights? YES
Gay Marriage? NO

People do not want to change the definition of marriage from a man and a woman to anybody and everybody.
It isn’t going to happen.
Stop wasting your time.

This all begs the question: Why the hell will it take the U.S., the supposed “leader of the free world,” so damn long to treat all of its citizens equally? Spain was ruled by a fascist dictator until 30-something years ago, and South Africa had Apartheid until 1994, yet they both have same-sex marriage now. Canada, whose culture is so similar to ours, has it too. So why do we have to wait until 2024?

I know the answer: Because we live in the United States of Hypocrisy.
