The notion of marriage equality was never about marriage or about equality. It’s all about the wrapping paper. It’s been packaged as an end in itself, but it is principally just a means to a deeper end. It is the means by which marriage extinction – the true target — can be achieved. If marriage and family are permitted to exist autonomously, power can be de-centralized in society. So the family has always been a thorn in the side of central planners and totalitarians. The connection between its abolition and the limitless growth of the state should be crystal clear. So anyone who has bought into this movement, or is tempted to do so, would want to step back and take a harder look.

Really? So families are like powerful clans living in castles, with their own armies, etc? Are you living in 15th century Scotland?

Not at all. Central planners in totalitarian countries usually view the family as a unit for work, feeding, housing, and the reinforcement of social control. The state portrays itself as one great family with its leader as the Father of the Nation. That's why, in many communist countries, when one person was punished, so was the rest of the family.

Whose "true target"? What evidence do you have that this is their "true target"?

I had no idea gay marriage is the same as a ban on straight marriage. Who knew?

Then get the government out of marriage altogether. Oh wait, you LIKE centralized power when it gives you benefits. But when other people, especially people you don't like, benefit then it's totalitarianism.

If the mere existence of married gays dissolves your family then your family was never very sound to begin with.

So how is that going to happen? If we have same-sex marriage, will I suddenly not be married anymore?
Destroying marriage by allowing people to get married is like destroying a forest by planting a tree.
Stella sounds like she took too many steps back and fell on her ass, causing severe brain damage.
Honey, your tinfoil hat is on too tight again; it's restricting the blood-flow to your brain.
How can the fact that more people can now marry, be a way to marriage extinction? You do know that most of the people now finally able to marry were already living together in marriage-like relationships, right? The marriage certificate is not what makes a family; that just gives legal benefits. What makes a family is the relationships between people, regardless of shared genes.
What power is "de-centralized"? I'd say that a lot of fundamentalist Christian and Muslims are more or less totalitarian, and they mostly advocate marrying off the girls at a young age so they can get busy with family making, and won't bother the men with dangerous ideas about human rights and equality.
Oh boy, slippery slope and conspiracy trite? Wunderbar! Maybe, one day, all the fundies will merge together into one Voltron-esque super-fundie, and we can get rid of them all at once!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
