"When the Electorate realizes they can vote themselves money from the Treasury, it will herald the end of the Republic." - Benjamin Franklin (most likely)
“Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit. Social Security is totally funded by the payroll tax levied on employers and employees. If you reduce the outgo of Social Security, that money would not go into the General Fund to reduce the deficit, that would go into the Social Security Trust Fund. So Social Security has nothing to do with balancing the budget or lowering the deficit.” –Ronald Reagan

When the boomers die off, the number of homophobes will drop precipitously as churches are already having enough problems trying to keep people coming for Sunday service.
The rabid hate and intolerance certainly isn't helping except with individuals who need to hate others or else they are forced to look inside themselves and see the empty shell of a human being that they really are.
That's why the regressives are ramming these and other ultra-conservative legislation through, they know that their time is running out.
I wonder how many other of these "social wedges" will also vanish with the boomers...

Not wanting to redefine marriage in not "intolerance.
Wanting to force its redefinition for NO LOGICAL OR PRACTICAL REASON is intolerant and hateful ,and Americans have had enough.
We aren't backing down from this issue; quite the contrary, we're done giving ground, and are taking some back, hence the VOTES on the issue.
It's OUR TURN to "BE OFFENDED"....
Oh look! Another meaningless MEDIA POLL; I'll go with the results of the ACTUAL POLL, at the ballot box, thank you.
33-0 so far....

The government should get out of a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed lot of things. Including inheritances and such. But you do need a way to make sure that wills are adhered to and the rights of surviving spouses are taken care of. The specific SANCTIONING of marriage is what they specifically should have no juristiction over.
We have been walked into sharia christianity without even knowing it until a few people recently woke up to it..

Intentional obtuseness will earn you a spot with the other 57 posters on my ignore list. I am not here to debate moronic pinheads.
