Defense of marriage act is unconstitutional

[Doubting Thomas]

Yes...have you heard the anti-gay whatevers say they'll continue to fight this with whatever they can come up with?

Unfortunately for them they haven't been able to come up with much. Just a bunch of baseless accusations about how the country will fall apart, vague claims about heterosexual marriage being destroyed, and lame claims that their religious beliefs are going to be infringed upon.

and lame claims that their religious beliefs are going to be infringed upon.

They can believe whatever they think their vicious little god wants them to believe....it is their execrable conduct that needs to be reined in.

They actually mentioned some legal tricks up their sleeves...well in the case of California at least since the Supreme Court struck down the ability of the 9th District to rule on the case.

I can see it already. After the tensions continue to rise to a boiling point a number of Southern States will declare secession rather than legally recognize gay marriage. The president orders the border states to raise a militia to quell the rebellion.

Most border states refuse and join the secession.

After a long and bloody war with the Southern states in defeat, it's industry and livestock obliterated, half its military aged men either maimed or dead, the rest of the country starts reconstruction by giving homosexuals control over all state legislature of the rebellious Southern states. Then after a few years the rest of the country loses interest starting a nearly hundred year repression of homosexuals in those states.

Then gay pride marches break out all over the place, the country remembers to finish what it started, everyone becomes at least legally equal, and then we stop paying attention all together.

No dice, industry moved south chasing lower wages...lol...oh...and we still grow your crops for your slave wages. By the by, Benning is in Georgia amigo (the south, overall, is where the majority of our military might is stowed - perhaps surprisingly....long terms by southern senators on the house armed services committee ftw).

Seriously?

Yes...have you heard the anti-gay whatevers say they'll continue to fight this with whatever they can come up with?

Now if you viewed it as bringing about an actual civil war, well then....

If there was a civil war, it would not be about homosexuality...it would be about the crap of the military-industrial complex, but Americans don't seem to have the stomach for civil war.

As if the pre-Civil War tensions are even comparable to the "tensions" between pro-gay rights advocates and the anti-gay advocates...

Both had a Federal action taken and left the states to decide and both gives powers of the states to decide whether to recognize the laws of the other states with the more conservative views winning of course.
