Pride month has been a dud so far.

They set stands up at Dulles airport and they’ve been there for a few weeks. Every time I walk by them they look pristine. No one is buying the rainbow merch.

Much of wokeness is fueled by the sexual revolution * WorldNetDaily * by Robert Knight

'Progressive activists want to strip Christian institutions of their constitutional freedom to espouse their beliefs'

www.wnd.com

In Tennessee, a girl who "came out" as a lesbian in a social media post is suing a Christian prep school for the right to graduate along with the other seniors in her class...

..If the plaintiff gets her way, she will have used the public legal system to force a private institution to bend to her worldview...

Parents who shell out hard-earned money to send their kids to this school do so largely because it imparts their faith and teaches their standard of morality, which includes a biblical understanding of sex. If a student flouts the standard so publicly and suffers no consequences, the standard becomes meaningless...

And gay marriage was "the camels nose under the tent."

Blame the government for giving married people benefits.

Team Trump renames the USNS Harvey Milk: Refreshing * WorldNetDaily * by Ben Shapiro

Saying the obvious 'is a credit to the White House and the secretary of defense'

www.wnd.com

There are currently two public schools named after Milk (one in San Francisco and one in New York), despite the fact that he was a scurrilous figure who had sex with a 16-year-old runaway while he was in his 30s and rather prominently supported murderous cult leader Jim Jones. A film was made about his life starring Sean Penn, who won an Oscar for the hagiography.

LOL Hegseth did this for June.

Sure, why not.

I mean what could be wrong with wanting men and women to be married for life and to raise a normal family?

Also, divorce is too easy. Young men are checking out because they don't want to loose half of their assets and their kids because the wife got bored and decided to trade. So the "problem" as you see it is solving itself.

A public sense of morality would do this country good. That does not mean I would support the gubmint kicking down L.oa.S door (private) and busting up his harem.

Use your brains DC, i know you have some

Until the government started giving benefits to married couples, marriage was the Churches business.

Do you disagree that the nurturing of stable youngsters is in the best interests of a stable and productive society? There might be a valid reason to encourage and subsidize this?

I mean, barbarism might be fun and all, but hardly allows for more refined human endeavors like craft bourbon, drones, high yield gummies, baconized dog treats and Twinkies

You're both missing the point. The government started offering benefits to some of its citizens but not to others is where the problem arose.


So either:

Marriage is a religious institution and the government has no business interfering in it.

Marriage is a governmental institution and therefore must be available to all citizens.

And as I was taught to shoot strangers while dressed up as a tree as a teenager you should probably ask someone else questions about stability and nursing youngsters to be productive in society.

If I were to have an opinion it would align with civil unions, which grant the benefits of marriage without stepping on the Churches toes.

Marriage can be religious.

Marriage is a privilege allowed to qualified citizens, 1 man and 1 woman ( at least before Obergefell.) If Obergefell is overturned it will be the law in TN as its part of the TN constitution. It passed 80%-20%.

I am sure some sort of legal contract can be made between various individuals who wouldn't qualify for marriage. Lets not call it a union or give it any sort of legitimacy as a sexual relationship.

The state constitutions, pre-founding and also in the founding era, guaranteed liberty but excluded using it as an excuse for licentious behavior. Former SCOTUS judge Sandra Day O'Connor wrote about it.

It started out religious, and frankly, should have stayed that way.

Obergefell is pretty much the Roe v Wade of marriage, an extremely weak decision based on no precident.

The fact remains, and look for a better case to come along, you cant. arbitrarily discriminate against citizens, especially over a religious issue.

Again, with feeling, this is the governments fault for giving married couples tax benefits.

Except they need the same inheritance and child custody protections as straight people. This is the issue I keep hammering, if your married those protections are automatic.

And who gets to judge what is an isn't licentiousness? Baptists? Mormons? Jews? Muslims? Or is it like porn, you know it when you see it?

You may remember this. Both Roe v Wade and Casey v PP were propped up by a particular clause (I cant remember which one), and the Dobbs case attacked that clause as a defense for both cases. Which is why both were overturned. Justice Thomas clarified in the majority opinion on the Dobbs case that Oberkfell is propped up by the same clause, and if a similar case was brought before the SC that challenged Oberkfell being propped up by the same clause, that Oberkfell would be overturned as well.

I said this already. Oh wait you've got me on ignore.

Me Lord, I don't understand your comment. Other than the right to be on married corporate health care plans, I don't know of any other benefits. Even at that, most companies do not pay the spousal premiums, it falls on the shoulder of the employee out of pocket. There is really no benefit under IRS regulations because combined incomes are hammered at incrementally higher rates, even with a higher standard deduction. The IRS REALLY hammers the couple who have disporportional incomes where one makes a median income and the other makes a lot. One spouse might not pay a dime in tax if taxed as single. But that same salary bumps the other spouse into a really higher tax bracket incrementally. What benefit am I forgetting? I'm sure I haven't thought about everything, other than mental peace of mind of not having to take any shit. 😂

filing jointly used to be a benefit.

Spouses generally get access to healthcare. Spouses automatically have custody rights. Spouses automatically inherit, with a fair amount of red tape obviously, with no will in place. Spouses generally don't need power of attorney, medical or otherwise.

There's also a fairly long list of things just a friend Can't do, especially in the military. Don't get me started on fake gay marriages to get out of living in the barracks, btw.

The fact of the matter is you can stand up before God and your kinfolk and say vows but if you don't have a marriage license, the government doesn't care, and it doesn't count.

THat is usually my over arching point, government makes everything worse.

While I agree Oberegefell is weak as hell and is likely to be over turned, as long as marriage results in any benefits from the government you can't tell a minority of citizens they can't get married, because, reasons.

Incidentally in 2025 there is no net positive to a man getting married. Not unless you like giving half your shit and your house away.

Outside of half custody given to the father at point of birth if married, I don’t see why men get married. In Florida at least. Many men get drug into it (myself included) because she wants to get married and we don’t want to lose her. Then you hope for the best.

But all things being equal, it makes almost zero sense for a man to get married. Whether you’re a decent man or not, if you end up in divorce court, if she wants to hammer you she will. And the court will go right along with it. It doesn’t have to be something you caused. You’re going to get hammered because you have a penis

Well that goes without saying. When children are involved, it's exponentially worse.

LOL, double whammy, Pride month canceled at liberal bastion and Jesus sent in.

https://bleedingfool.com/news/kennedy-center-cancels-pride-month-for-sold-out-showings-of-king-of-kings/

The Kennedy Center decided to focus more on family-friendly and faith-based programs. After the World Pride festival was called off, the Center held two special screenings of “The King of Kings.” Both showings were packed, and a prayer wall set up for the event was filled with warm messages according to Breitbart News.

Irony thy name is Grenell. 🤣
