Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of gay marriage in Massachusetts. And just as James Dobson of Focus on The Family, predicted in a July 2004 letter to supporters:
"...Barring a miracle, the family as it has been known for more than five millennia will crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself..... the homosexual activist movement has sought to implement a master plan that has had as its centerpiece the utter destruction of the family."
Yeah! That's right!!! The "utter destruction of the family"!!! The "fall of Western civilization itself"!!
Remember when that happened? No?
Because it didn't. All that happened is that people who loved each other were afforded the rights they deserved under the law.
In a 50-page, 4–3 ruling, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court said it was asked to determine whether Massachusetts
"may deny the protections, benefits and obligations conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry. We conclude that it may not. The Massachusetts Constitution affirms the dignity and equality of all individuals. It forbids the creation of second-class citizens."
I'd just like to say happy 10th anniversary to all those who waited far too long, and had to legally fight to have the right to do what my wife and I did nearly 40 years ago. Yes, congratulations and best wishes.
