Some of us have been predicting that there would be serious repercussions to redefining marriage in our society. We have been proven right beyond our darkest nightmares.
The fact that homosexuality has always existed (as have many other things I can list) does not mean that marriage -- the fertile union of male and female -- should have been redefined for all couplings.
Especially since it was done by overturning the votes of the people. It was forced by the courts.
Now we're in Wonderland.
When you said "gender doesn't matter in marriage -- marriage can be what we say it is" it was one serious step down the road to "your birth sex doesn't matter to your gender -- gender can be what we say it is."
The fact that the ancient Greeks also had homosexuality, etc etc doesn't change that.
The fact you can sometimes see homosexual activity in primates doesn't change that.
Pandora's box was opened. We're reaping the results.
Now the rainbow flag and LGBT themes are ubiquitous. The whole country is the Castro district. You have to be concerned about children's programming. They say it's representation, but it's far more than that. It's going after the essential framework of society.
Twenty years ago, when the idea of legalizing same sex marriage would get you laughed out of the room, I met homosexual couples who introduced each other as their husband. No one cared. Some of them probably did the work to make each other heir of their estate or trustee, or inform the hospital. There were workarounds. Some people threw the idea around of Civil unions.
Nope. It HAD to be marriage. It HAD to be that word. Why?
Well, I think the answer is to sue Masterpiece cake shop. To have a battle-axe against those that do not conform.
The new battle-axe is children, confused about puberty, thinking the answer to their body changes is sterilization. And if you don't agree, the state can take your children away.
Each act builds on that build previously.
They don't tell you, first, "You must take the dangerous vaccine to keep a job and buy food." People would revolt.
You start small. "Wear a mask. Just for grandma. You can take it off when you get home."
Then gradually you add more and more steps.
That's how it all works.
You're angry at people who saw this happening ten years ago.
But we were proven right.
