A no, they were at the ballot box, it was not a judicial decision. 2012, 4 States with SS Marriage issue on the ballot in the general election. In each case the Marriage Equality side won.

#1 I'm not left wing, I've been a member of the GOP since 1978.
#2 So, you want to use a left wing tactic - instead of dealing with reality - let's "cook" the numbers to meet an objective. In this case you want to show that 50% or so marriages don't end, by throwing out a demographic of those whose marriages end. Not an honest tactic.

You decided to 'tell me' that it's a 'two way street.' For some odd reason, since that is ***exactly what I wrote.***
And then proceeded to backpeddle for pages. Ego: not doing you any favors.
Now you are making up stuff to try and divert from the actual simplicity of my initial post? Dont go adding more to it than was intended just to bolster yourself.
We are going around in circles here...........again marriage provides a much stable life style for a child...........Gays can not procreate.
Keep going, your original post is there for all to see. And no, it is not EXACTLY what you posted. In fact my response to the last two paragraphs is the exact same. Look in the mirror and read that to yourself.
And most people dont care. We dont care if you agree. Think whatever you want, just dont expect other people to have to conform to what you agree or disagree with.
Your disagreement effects the marriages of gay couples as much as gay marriage affects straight marriages. Get it?

Did you read the thread title? Are any of those states Indiana?
And, as I said, a very small handful of states.
I just calls em as I sees em and I said why the divorce rate was so high...........you really need to read my posts before you put your foot in your mouth.
So we've gone full circle. It was really simple. I just wrote it out for you again Mr Two Way Street.
But here's the original, for clarity (for others, it's obviously not ever going to be clear for you):
I love when other people allow ego to overrule common sense....esp. when it's in black and white on the Internetz. Keep going then...and keep my signature, in green below, in mind.
But you are not adding anything further to the conversation so please do or stop bothering me. Now you are all about me and not the topic.
Heh, yeah, stamp your foot and declare victory, that always works. :lamo
The point is, your disagreement with the opinions of others doesn't invalidate their views any more than when the shoe is on the other foot.
@_@
Gays can marry
Gays can procreate.
Gay families have not been found to be anymore or less dysfunctional than straight families.
THese are all facts. What planet are you living on?
Sorry NP, you are the one putting you foot in your mouth. Discounting marriage ending, which is what the statisic is about, just to reduce the number to include only a sub-set of demographics isn't an honest technique.

Just remember the silent majority as well as the SCOTUS is yet to be heard.
Explain to me how 2 gay males can procreate.
Neither can infertile hetero couples. What's your point?
I'm betting if anyone bothered to challenge it the governor's decision would go the way of the dodo bird pretty quickly. Staying an order DOES NOT retroactively invalidate what was done before the stay was issued.
Smoke and mirrors, you are stating the obvious.
You must have been a RINO when you were a Republican

You sir are the one who stated that Gays cannot procreate and made that an objection to them marrying. If you don't hold the same position for infertile hetero couples your objection is what is smoke and mirrors here.

Through no fault of there owninfertile couples can not procreate.....That is a very small percent of the people who marry.
