That isn't the British press painting a picture where same sex marriage would lead us. It is a satire site and the story is making fun of people who oppose same sex marriage.

Steve, why are you opposed to same sex marriage? Sadly, a loss of freedom for one person puts all of our freedoms in jeopardy. I don't want the government telling me who I can marry. My freedom to marry who I wish will always be at risk as long as the gay community does not have that freedom. What next, will only people who can procreate be able to marry? Maybe we should only allow people to marry who we think will make good parents or maybe we should match people so there is "ideal" genetic matching. Maybe we should demand that people be with in a certain age of each other before they can marry? Or perhaps we shouldn't let people marry who have been convicted of a crime. Or, should we keep people who have already gotten divorced from marrying? There are many, many ways the government can interfere with our freedom of association, yours could be threatened also.

I"m pretty sure history will actually show that it's the far right that's hi-jacked the Republican party and that's why y'all lost in a resounding landslide. One of the points the framers of the US constitution felt was important to make is that the minority need to be protected from the majority, and you can't simply vote away the rights of groups of people's you don't like, even if that's what the "fair and square" majority want.

Once Obama takes office I'm sure that he as well as congress will make repealing DOMA one of their first priorities. Funny thing is it was Clinton that signed that act into law while he was in office. The Democratic party has been hijacked by the far-left liberal loons, and its heading for the cliff as quickly as it can. Anarchy and loss of free speach will be next.
