Speakers suggested the cold and freezing rain deterred attendance (even though it wasn’t raining when the local news showed up), but luckily for those that were there, rally organizers had plenty of warm t-shirts to give away after nobody bought them.
Thanks for the laugh, Middle America!

LOOK AT HOW THEY SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY PEOPLE.
Mr. E. Jones
In my Canadian city, when equal marriage was being debated, the local CPC MP sent out a mailer asking yes or no on ssm. Of the paltry 1000 mailers sent out, (mostly to CPC party members,) only about 300 were mailed back, and less than 3% opposed marriage. The MP used that 9%, which was only about 0.005% of the entire population of this city, as proof that our city opposed ssm, and voted no.

Another trite example of how the RRR (radical religious right) American christian Taliban (AcT) is working overtime to support Same Sex Marriage proponents. They don’t seem to learn, eh?

This is pretty funny. This is just a manifestation of public opinion.

The ONLY marriages the people in attendance should concerned about is their own. I focus on my own….two manly men: 19 years together and 6 1/2 legally married! [Thank you Canada}

Same-sex marriage is an injustice, an insult to the noble faculty of reason, and an absolute mockery of: the Laws of Nature, civil society, and the preservation and perfection of mankind.
The broken families which same-sex marriages purposely create are necessarily vicious toward those naturally occurring consanguineous obligations between family members from which nations, sociability, and benevolence have naturally emanated.
Children are not pets one purchases from rescue shelters(adoption clinics) and puppy mills(insemination and surrogacy). Children are human beings endowed with a natural desire to be procreated from an engendered act of love between a husband and a wife. Same-sex marriage is adulterous by nature and thereby destructive to not only children, but to our civilization.
Same-sex marriage proponents demand “Marriage Equality”, yet, in return, they offer less-than-equal protection of the child’s happiness than can be afforded by the presence of both biological parents.
Same-sex proponents profess that it is love which gives the right to join the institution of marriage, yet, in doing so, they selfishly violate the principle loving objective of this noble institution; to protect a child’s Natural Right to be raised by both biological parents.
Same-sex marriage is not justice in the eyes of a child. Same-sex marriage is an abuse of power, a tyrannical subversion of the fundamental principles of marriage and the duties which it enjoins; contrary to the nature and state of man, same-sex marriage is merely the unwarranted whims of an ignorant and selfish generation whose conduct is nothing less that an embarrassment to the dignity of mankind.
Here are two truths regarding marriage: (1) A man creating a family with another man is not equal to creating a family with a woman, and (2) denying children parents of both genders at home is an objective evil. Kids need and yearn for both.
In fine, same-sex marriage is an unnatural extravagance which the supporters most ignorantly claim to be a “right”.

@DOFEK: The word is “camps,” Ms. Intelligence of 1802, and frankly you’re no better than the American christian Taliban! Go join their disconnected group. You’ll fit right in!

@Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui: You and your fellows have lost on this issue, but, hey!, keep flexing those phalanges.

@Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui: “Endowed with a natural desire to be procreated from an engendered act of love between a husband and a wife”? Are you insane? What gave you the idea this was a big, pressing issue for our nation’s toddlers?

@zrocqs: Thank you, Sir.
