Rather than strengthening “traditional marriage,” civil unions and other separate-but-equal regimes have the opposite effect:
…it is terribly humorous and ironic that the French created civil unions to protect the institution of marriage…and now civil unions are undermining marriage because people are opting for them instead of marriage.
One of the few dozen people on earth to have actually read Burke, Sully, chimes in:
In this, the gay movement, in its support for civil marriage equality, is a force right now for social conservatism; and the Christianist movement is the one fomenting the real attack on the institution of marriage
Meanwhile, the Utah GOP continues its radical revanchist crusade against LGBTQ Utahns and their families, striking down all but one of the Common Ground bills supported by 83% of Utahns (the last is slated for execution tomorrow). Some post by an idiot on Craigslist captures the view of America’s whitest sausagefest:
The closer you get to the blade of the fan the more likely you are to get your finger chopped. This follows the same logic as the people in Europe who had to get their guns registered. As soon as all of the guns were registered, it was easy to collect them and the people were defenseless against tyranny. If you have civil unions, it follows that it is one small step away from gay marriage, and then we will be ripe for destruction like Sodom and Gomorrah. God help this perverted country before it is too late.
The event to which he alludes never actually happened, but does appear to be some sort of NRA-bastardization of Fascist/socialist gun control programs. The gun debate, along with abortion and gay rights, is dominated on both sides by ideologues who don’t pretend to care about reality. I’m pretty sure God would like families to succeed, but your bizarre anti-gay fetishism is making us look like idiots.

America, (esp. UTAH) you seriously need to grow up. You would rather have children suffer being abandoned by society than live in loving homes. Who is the perverted one now?
This is an abomination.
We are your children, your parents, your grandparents, and your grand children. We are your aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces. Some of us raise children; some children are our own, some are other’s children (i.e. – abandoned).
Having the LOVE-orientation to fall in love with the same gender is AS SACRED AS any heterosexual love. Period.
And I will continue advocating EQUALITY TAX REVOLT until the law catches up with morality and common decency!
