The people who use their religion as a tool to get the legislation that would benefit them claimed the greatest threat from same sex marriage would be its assault on marriage.

However, in places that have same sex marriage, straight “traditional” marriages have not been threatened. As a matter of fact, in Massachusetts that has had same sex marriage for over ten years now, the divorce rate remains the lowest in the country as opposed to the more “traditionally” religious places that lead the country in divorce, and there has been no evidence that same sex marriages destroy opposite sex ones.

So what do you do when same sex marriage’s threat does not materialize, and what do you do when it does not interfere or destroy “traditional” marriage?

Do you accept the evidence that you may have been wrong and same sex marriage might not be the horror you had thought, or do you come up with a new strategy that ignores evidence and creates a negative condition that you can hopefully blame same sex marriage for?

If you are desperate to appear to be correct, you create laws that fundamentally interfere with marriage, and then point out that because of same sex marriage these laws are needed, and emphasize that this results in the fruition of the threat.

You threaten public employees, who are in a position to do so, that if they deal with, or appear to support same sex marriages by giving out legitimate marriage certificates, or, if judges, they perform such marriages, that they will lose their jobs, benefits, and their pensions.

And see?

Same sex marriage has threatened jobs.

You claim with totally erroneous logic that to avoid allowing same sex marriages, and so as not to be discriminatory, your state will perform no civil weddings at any court house.

And, see?

Straight people cannot get married anywhere other than a church. No one who is not affiliated with a church can get married.

Then, like a law proposed in Oklahoma, potential couples must submit to a number of new medical tests to make sure neither person has any type of  STD if they intend to get married. The expanded medical intrusion will reduce the number of weddings that will be allowed.

And, see?

Because we all know that all Gay men have AIDS, and in order to protect people from it, no one with an STD will be allowed to marry, especially the Gay ones.

And, see?

Some people may experience low energy, extreme tiredness, and poor memory cheap tadalafil canada due to hormone imbalance. There are other reasons as well as in older viagra tablets india individuals. In most cases if you take a prescription medication that you need : whether or not the manufacturer is not accessible, the actual common prescription medication is equally as successful simply because they bring the identical active ingredient as cialis cost canada , Sildenafil Citrate, which effectively works by allowing increased blood flow to the caverns in your genitals. Alfuzosin (Uroxatral ) Doxazosin (Cardura ) Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline ) Phentolamine (Regitine ) Prazosin (Minipress ) Silodosin (Rapaflo ) Tamsulosin (Flomax ) Terazosin viagra soft pills (Hytrin ) 3. Same sex marriage has kept two people who previously would have had no problem marrying each other from now being able to get married.

Now pass two laws, one that says that no clergy has to perform a wedding that they feel violates their religious beliefs, and then make a second law that says only marriages performed by clergy will be recognized by the state.

If you are not a member of a church, or are an atheist, kiss marriage good-bye.

And, see?

You will get turned away from a church of your choice, and, obviously, this only happened because of same sex marriage.

Where there is no problem, create a law whose application creates the problems you had warned about, and then blame anyone but the creator of the law for the problems created, and its complications on others.

Divide people against people by using your new laws to create a false enemy with yourself as the only protection.

This is not a new approach.

The Equal Access Act was originally promoted as a way to allow religious clubs in schools. It was pushed by religiously bent (no pun) legislators who believed if schools allowed any non-curriculum related clubs in schools, they could not deny a religious club.

However, when the law passed, the religious people realized that to not be discriminatory it had to apply to all student run, non-curriculum related clubs, like stamp clubs, science fiction clubs, and Gay/Straight Alliance clubs.

They found that they had inadvertently allowed for Gay supporting and affirming clubs in schools.

To undo this, when students requested a Gay/Straight Alliance in accordance with the law the religious legislator had wrought, the only way to avoid allowing it was to cancel all non-curriculum clubs and then tell the other club members that it was because of the Gay kids that they had lost their clubs.

They took actions that relied on the effective invention of a scapegoat.

The lesson not learned here was that in spite of what they thought was a clever strategy to not have Gay clubs and using their solution as a way of blaming their victims, the school districts who had used this approach were seen to be doing exactly what they were doing, and it hurt their image as opposed help it.

Ignoring history, these legislators have simply applied this failed strategy to another situation, but to thinking people they will be seen for what they are.

It is up to these thinking people to expose what is going on so that people are not fooled, and the strategy fails.
