With court-imposed "gay marriage," will marriage become gay?

To resolve the ambiguity above, in "gay marriage," gay means homosexual, and in "become gay," gay means inferior, worthless, effeminate, or stupid. Is it likely that marriage redefined as "any relationship" will lose its luster, thus becoming less attractive to mating couples vis-a-vis the alternatives of hooking up and cohabitation?

    Yes. It's already happening.

    In "The End of Marriage in Scandinavia," Stanley Kurtz documented the dismal trend away from marriage and the consequent rise in illegitimate births and single parenting in Europe (see link below). It will probably be even worse here in the US because illegitimate births are already at 30% overall, and about 67% among blacks.

    The courts in Massachusetts and California effectively redefined marriage to mean "any relationship anyone wants to call marriage for any reason." That dramatically cheapens marriage.

    Take this analogy: Suppose your local school district agreed to give anyone a diploma for "life experiences." Just drop by the district offices and pick up a copy. How many students would continue to get on a school bus at 7:30 AM and do homework assignments?

    Similarly, actual marriage, as opposed to playacting in California, can be very hard work and require many sacrifices. If we instruct young couples that it means no more than same-sex coupling, many will say, "It's not worth it."

    Cheers,

    Your definition of gay as "inferior, worthless, effeminate, or stupid" is not a correct definition. Apparently you got that one from your Homophobic Handbook. You seem way too concerned with how everyone else is living their lives. I agree with the The Casual Poster. Your questions are all a form of gay bashing, whether you think they are or not. I think you may have some deeper issues with yourself that you need to look into.

    Actually, being "gay" technically means having or showing a merry, lively mood.

    So if you're asking if marriage will make you happy and merry, then I guess it would be gay.

    Otherwise your question is less than logical, close minded, and very ignorant.

    Here we go again with your gay bashing.....look "dude", who the hell cares if gays get married? How does it affect me or any other straight married person?

    I have noticed that people who rant the most against gays are really self hating closet gays themselves......

    Marriage is already "gay". If you're unhappy in marriage, that's "gay". If you're happy in marriage, they the couple is "gay".
