This chart showed up with some of my sample plots in R. It is fascinating, showing the rapid acceptance of social issues. I think this chart was prepared for Bloomberg, but I havent seen it before.

http://www.salon.com/2015/06/10/chri...becomes_legal/Christian couple threatens to divorce if same-sex marriage becomes legal
A man and woman who are currently married to each other — happily, it seems — announced on Wednesday that they plan to get divorced if Australia ever legalizes same-sex marriage. This means, essentially, that they’ve made a public threat against no one else’s welfare except their own and that of their children, but we’ll entertain their lashing out anyway.
Nick Jensen, director of the conservative christian Lachlan Macquarie Institute, wrote an op-ed for the Canberra CityNews explaining that he and his wife of ten years, Sarah, will get divorced as a protest against legalized marriage equality, which they believe would redefine the state of their union in an unsuitable way. From Jensen’s editorial:
Our view is that marriage is a fundamental order of creation. Part of God’s intimate story for human history. Marriage is the union of a man and a woman before a community in the sight of God. And the marriage of any couple is important to God regardless of whether that couple recognises God’s involvement or authority in it.
My wife and I, as a matter of conscience, refuse to recognise the government’s regulation of marriage if its definition includes the solemnisation of same sex couples. [...]
The truth is, “marriage” is simply too important. It is a sacred institution, ordained by God. It has always been understood to be that exclusive relationship where one man and one woman become “one flesh”. Any attempt to change the definition of marriage by law is not something in which we are able to partake.
This reminds me... what ever happened to that kid that was doing the hunger strike because of same sex marriage?"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

I was wondering why my marriage felt less valid all of the sudden."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

The more I have thought about it, the more I think mormon's would feel less angst over gay marriage being legal.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
I was taught from a very young age that anything less than a Temple marriage was not a valid marriage. I think recently I even heard some leader talk about dating a non mormon or inactive mormon could be dangerous. You could fall in love and end up not marrying in the Temple.Comment

Why would God allow us to fall in love with someone unworthy of temple marriage?Originally posted by byu71 View PostComment

I think it will be interesting to watch the debate that will surely happen concerning polygamy. I would assume no one who supports gay marriage would find themselves arguing that polygamy is not a "traditional marriage".Comment
