Until a couple recent elections, the people (in the US) always voted NO to gay "marriage" when it was put to the people to vote.
Activist judges have played far too great a part in all this. They will be harshly judged by a much, much higher Court when Jesus makes His triumphant return.
I cannot recall exactly, but I don't think any of the states where homosexual marriage is legal involved a vote by the people? Wasn't it either a court ruling or state legislatures?
That said, this whole debate is over. It's going to happen nationwide. Just a matter of time. Despite the fact traditional marriage is still the law in about 37(?) states, the tide is turning.
