And it will take multiple generations to see the full impact, which I have already stated.
Please remind me, though I want some detail. You THINK something bad may happen in the next 100, 200, or 300 years, people should be denied their rights? Do you have any evidence to back that up because I've already stated that the American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, and the American Psychiatric Association all officially endorse same sex marriage. I'm thinking they are more qualified than you to make that determination.
Now throw all this into a society where an entire generation grows up seeing that choosing either Eve or Steve is of no consequence whatsoever, and we may well find that this underlying bell curve shows up. Although I am saying it will take more than one generation for that to happen.
Again, those detailed consequences are what exactly?
parents don't want this influence convincing their children to experiment with bisexuality, if they can avoid it w/o trauma.
If they are interested, they are going to experiment no matter what the government says. Teenagers don't care what their parents say, so they certainly aren't going to check in the with state constitution first
. Meanwhile you're still free to preach all about how icky it is and makes god all frowny faced to "dissuade" them.
Otherwise known as you're attempting to shove it down our throats. And you shouldn't be surprised that people react to it as something disgusting and putrifying, inducing vomit.
There's that phrase again.
Hey, you're free to think it's icky. BTW, there are no shortage of heterosexual couples that participate in disgusting, vomit inducing, even dangerous behavior.
And we all don't need to be reminded that marriage encompasses way more than just sex.
See? THIS is valid! And people can do that regardless of law. And invite their friends to NYC and boost revenue there just as much w/o legalizing SSM. And civil unions can be made to grant all the actual rights married people have. Or another term can be crafted. Or marriage can be removed from Gov't jurisdiction entirely, so that it sees no one as married and only recognizes civil unions, or whatever term is thought up to replace it. (I'm not crazy about that idea, but it does seem to be gaining steam)
Civil unions aren't the same thing, but we've already gone over that. Civil marriage is strictly the government's business and they don't get to discriminate. You're still free to tack on whatever religious significance you want to after you get your marriage license from the county clerk.
