Democrats Officially Include Marriage Equality In Their Platform

Home - by - August 10, 2012 - 00:05 America/New_York - 18 Comments

We support the right of all families to have equal respect, responsibilities, and protections under the law. We support marriage equality and support the movement to secure equal treatment under law for same-sex couples. We also support the freedom of churches and religious entities to decide how to administer marriage as a religious sacrament without government interference.

We oppose discriminatory federal and state constitutional amendments and other attempts to deny equal protection of the laws to committed same-sex couples who seek the same respect and responsibilities as other married couples. We support the full repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act.

    If polygamists were not allowed to redefine marriage to suit themselves, why should homosexuals be allowed to?

    From the beginning Satan has set his sights on the family. This goal has continued right down to today with his most recent sleight of hand consisting of blurring the line and definition of the word ‘family’. Without a sperm and an egg making contact as God designed there can be no ‘family’.

    Two women or two men that claim to ‘be in love’ cannot accomplish this miracle.

    Let’s face it: The real goal is the extermination of the human species, the crowning jewel of God’s creation. And, what better way to do that then to introduce yet another method (along with birth control and abortion) to ensure the extinction of our species?

    The Democratic party has joined forces with the Prince of Darkness by taking the offer he tempted Jesus with: “All this has been given into my hand and I will give it to you if you will only bow down and worship me.”

    I fully support the right of homosexuals to marry a person of the opposite gender.

    After Adam & Eve sinned, they covered their crotch. Until then, they were naked. What did the devil target? Their sexuality.

    Why, because the love between spouses is symbolic of God’s love for us and His church. So every time the devil can get someone to distort sexuality, it’s symbolically distorting God’s love for us.

    It’s late, hope I said that right.

    This is government interference. Marriage is one man and one woman. Let the gays have a special health insurance category if it will help to get them to shut the fuck up and leave traditional marriage unmolested.

    @dapenguin…I couldn’t possibly bet against you there. The Chick-Fil-A Day episode offers a small bit of hope but far from any kind of promise.

    Just as 0bama was spouting pure Marxist bullcrap lies when he said “…if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor…” this is more of the same. Only this time the target is the institution of Marriage / family and the Churches and not the individual.

    Once sodomite marriage is Constitutionally enshrined and protected Priests, Ministers and Rabbais (no I’m not including Imams because they will no doubt be exempt just as they are in 0bamacare) along with their respective Churches and Synagogues / Temples will have to honor this “equality” under earthly law or face financial assault and imprisonment.

    The radical gays constantly equate their “plight” with the civil rights struggle. Although this is a false comparison, they want gay “marriage” to be legally viewed the same way as the old miscegenation laws. If someone refused to marry a mixed race couple today by citing old Miscegenation Laws, they could face prosecution under Civil Rights Law. The Marxist Donks want all clergy and laity to face the same thing for following God’s Law against sodomite unions.

    As vile of a person as Woodrow Wilson was (admiring Lenin, helping the Mexican Government in the Christero War, starting the Federal Reserve, just as a few examples) he didn’t hate the USA with the passion of Obama.

    As bad as FDR and LBJ were at increasing the subjugation of the individual to the socialist state, they pale in comparison to Obama.

    God help us all

    Well, well, well. This can only work to the commies’ advantage in the voting booth, right? Hah! Even Ebola wouldn’t come out and say that this should be put in the platform, but then again, he’s just a puppet and not making the decisions. Can’t wait till the black pastors hear about this one.

    Did these eejits miss what happened at Chick-fil-A a week ago? You just can’t fix stupid, but that’s okay. This will be a win for our side.

    “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN; YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A PRICE. Therefore honor God with your body.”

    YES YES! Democrats must convince all their constituents that homosexual marriage is the way to go. That way they will become extinct from not reproducing. Abortion will take care of the rest.

    I believe that this may be the biggest reason the democraps and Obama lose the election in Nov. A large enough percentage of black Christians will not vote for Barry because of his foolish stand on gay marriage. Let’s just hope all the dumb and misled white Christian voters don’t not vote for Romney just because he’s Mormon. I can live under a Romney presidency, not too sure about a second Obama admin.

    @Hotlanta Mike, thanks for bringing up polygamy.

    That’s the next step. Thanks to the creeping sharia that is taking place right under our noses, how long till the muzzies start crying foul?

    Right NOW, in the UK, polygamous mooslim men are receiving government benefits for ALL their wives, plus extra allowances for housing!
