    It doesn't appear to have been stayed either.

    It's looking like Tennessee won't be far behind. Last week a judge granted a preliminary injunction that requires the state to recognize the marriages of three couples that are challenging the state's ban while the case is decided.

    Should these people be allowed to have equal protections and rights? Sure. Is it really a marriage? Not a chance. I know it. You know it. Vegetable Lasagna knows it.

    No, it's marriage. You don't have to like it, but that doesn't mean you get to define it as narrowly as you have. It becomes whatever society wishes it to become, just as thousands of years ago, a 40 year old man and a 12 year old girl were legitimate forms of marriage.

    I hear so much about the sanctity of marriage, but nothing about divorce.

    Funny that.

    Yawn. So I'm supposed to believe that a research study that may have had methodological flaws (as do ALL studies) is totally worthless just because political activists from the other side who are pushing their own anti-family agenda say so? :rolleyes:

    Anyone who doesn't think that the traditional nuclear family is the ideal structure for raising children is insane and deserves to be dropped into a deep, dark pit never to return.

    It's shocking and incredibly sad that America, when not murdering hundreds of thousands of babies in the womb, has capitulated to the demands of a tiny sexual deviancy and opened the door to social anarchy, thereby permanently damaging those children who manage to survive their gestation without their mother exercising her "reproductive freedom."

    No, what's weak is the mind of someone who thinks it's ok to murder millions of unborn babies and then allow homosexuals to rewrite the parameters of traditional marriage and intentionally start sliding down the slippery slope.

    But I accepted long ago that most here have drank the GLAAD kool-aid and will stridently defend this anarchy.

    The "traditional nuclear family" has been the norm for barely 200 years. It is not the natural environment for human beings to be raised in.

    Sure isn't the natural environment. The church openly preached against the nuclear family, and decried the loss of the multi-generational extended family as a sure-fire recipe for sin and damnation. The nuclear family is an experiment that failed, and lacks the additional support found in extended families. Hence: why it now takes a village.

    It's worthless because the judge said it was.

    Doesn't matter if it's the ideal or not, we allow non-traditional family structures to exist, gays shouldn't be treated any different in that regard.

    The "church" (and by that I'm assuming you mean the Roman Catholic church, which does not speak for all Christians), did not preach against the nuclear family. Lamenting the loss of multi-generational family structures (where grandma & grandpa live with you) isn't the same as two fags calling themselves "mommy" and trying to raise a child who will inevitably grow up with deep-seated gender confusion. The nuclear family did not fail, rather it was society that failed the nuclear family, thru divorce on demand and economic conditions that made it impossible to survive on just one salary.

    Your post was a bald-faced lie, and therefore total bullshit. If you had said the sky was purple or that water freezes at 98 degrees, you would have gotten the same response. Try not making shit up next time.

    When did financial burden become a rationale for state-sanctioned genocide?

    I have Fleshlight on ignore. This is a much better thread for me than for any of the poor sods who can see what he's writing.

    Seriously folks, put him on ignore. Your life will be better for it.

    of course it is - BUT society has never chosen to limit civil marriage to only those who may potentially reproduce together

    Gee, remember when Fleshie used to go after Shepherd for his conserva-fundie crap?
    What happened?
    Did Fleshie eat Shepherd's cocoon once Nova shed it?

    Or, is he just a stupid troll?

    What wit, what repartee. :lol:

    The spectacle of knee-jerking wanna-be progressives flopping around on the floor when someone dares to disagree with the GLAAD society-rewrite agenda is never less than fascinating.

    You morons will spout all the right PC garbage just to look good, but when your son or daughter comes home one day and announces they're gay then katie bar the door, it's gonna be a wild time in the Ballsack house tonight! Oh how I'd love to be a fly on that wall...... :)
