How they defame their ancestors by uttering these words. So indoctrinated to see right ideology that they are incapable of recognizing that it goes against their own self interest of being accepted for their own deviant views on marriage.
This is because for them it was never about principles, but about results.

Not thinking it's gonna happen. Scale back a few programs and pay the taxes. We'll survive. When such legislation comes I expect insanity to grip the world anyway. No sexually libertine civilization has survived for more then three generations. Most don't pass two.
