Romney: Marriage is between one man and one woman

[_3sheets2thewind]

what I find interesting is that those opposed to gay marriage will support polygamy, even though, polygamy is not part of the history of traditional marriage in the United States.

So the real bottom line is that you're as prejudiced against polygamists as the typical Mormon is prejudiced against gays and lesbians. Is that really what you want to be, or are you willing to open your mind about who should be allowed to marry?

The Supreme Court is not about to bring back polygamy and that's pretty much final. But the Supreme Court is going to legalize gay marriage. You just watch and see.

Really though, I don't give a rats ass about whether polygamy is legal or not. For all I care people can have sex on the streets and trade partners like a square dance! Why should I bother my pretty little head over the issue of polygmay? Screw them.

Whether or not the LDS church currently practices plural marriage, they still believe in it. Is he lyin' for the Lord, or is he Mormon in Name Only?

Unnecessary and unfair. You can be an Mormon in more than name only and support the gay marriage agenda. You can be a Mormon in more than name only and think polygamy is/was naughty. In the spirit of what constitutes discussion around here, is your next target Liz?

When the Supreme Court decided to legalize abortion, it changed the law for the whole nation. Do you expect that Court to have that effect for gay marriage, making it legal nationwide? Or do you expect it to just clear the way for individual states to legalize it, like has been happening up until now?

You might be right about that Court legalizing gay marriage, but I don't see how you can be sure that's the way they're going to go. Which justices do you expect to vote for gay marriage and which do you expect to vote against, and how are you going to get a majority?

I suspect you may be right about that court not approving polygamy any time soon, but I never said they would; I just stated my position on the matter. Once again I would support a law that made it legal for two or three adults of any gender combination to get married; until such a law is proposed and while polygamy is still illegal, I oppose any law that would make it legal for gays or lesbians to marry.

Not me. I am just as opposed to polygamy as I am opposed to gay marriage, and just as supportive of gay marriage as I am supportive of polygamy.

[_Shulem]

Let me make myself perfectly clear. I don't give a damn about polygamy rights or the professed rights made by the poor Mormons who used to practice it. The hell with Mormonism.

I do care about gay marriage and expect the Supreme Court to rule my way.

I hope that I made myself perfectly clear. I don't care about being fair to Mormons. Screw them.

And I don't give a damn how the Supreme Court does it just so long as they do. Gay marriage is coming. You can't stop it.

Ain't nothing better than gay love. It is supreme in my world.

Mitt Romney is right on his view of marriage.
The Book of Mormon states that marriage is between one man and one woman.

Jacob 2:23-28:

[23] But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes. For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.

[24] Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.

[25] Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.

[26] Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.

[27] Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;

[28] For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.

And I don't give a damn how the Supreme Court does it just so long as they do. Gay marriage is coming. You can't stop it.

There are nine men who can stop it. In order to get gay marriage legalized, you have to get the votes of five of them. Which five are going to vote in favor of gay marriage?

If you don't know which five will, how do you know that the Supreme Court will ever vote in favor of gay marriage?

Because I have confidence that the Supreme Court is going to recognize the cries of millions of people who are demanding that gays be given their civil rights and granted the right to marry just like straight people do. Even the President of the United States agrees. Many nations have finally granted this basic right. States within the US are also finally coming around. Marriage is a civil right and the Supreme Court will rule that way. All of the justices will be agreed. You'll see.

Gay marriage is coming. Nothing can stop it because the Supreme Court knows what they are doing and they cannot deny basic civil rights on the basis of Bible thumpers and Mormons who want to deny these rights.
