Lives Will Be Ruined

. . . but it's fashionable to tolerate such things in the days in which we live.

So New York passed a law permitting queers to call themselves married and receive the attendant benefits. They are not the first, probably not the last. Oh, how sweet, they might want to have children! Next up: several years of lawsuits shopped to Democrat-appointed judges. Then a few decades of allowing people with a need for mental health care to adopt children, ruin the children's minds, and all sorts of horrendous outcomes the left will poo-pooh if you call it ahead of time. Then, if we're still in one piece, a period of sober policy re-examination followed by bans or restrictions on various queer "family" arrangements. This pendulum has very, very far to swing to the left. If it swings back right, it could be pretty wild.

Or instead of legislating, you could leave it to the voters (who pretty reliably turn out against queers calling themselves "married" in the USA). But then the governors don't get to take part in the fabulous "Gay Pride" parades, so . . . nah!
