Stephen Colbert is a big fan of the National Organization for Marriage’s “Gathering Storm” ad—“It is like watching ‘The 700 Club’ and The Weather Channel at the same time!” But now the storm is hovering over Colbert’s own state, and he’s getting nostalgic for more traditional times of yore.

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Are they Claiming that MD’s will not Treat Gay patients? Hippocratic oath?Sounds like some licenses need to be Revoked Now.
And considering who some of these ‘Churchs’ marry (LDS) I’m not so sure I agree with their Broad Definition of Marriage. Funny they never include the words “consenting Adults” in their proclamations of ‘Between a Man & a Woman’- Pray tell is a 12 yr old a ‘woman’, or how about the ones forced into ‘Arranged marriages’???
What the ‘Right’ has been so apt at is misleading people about their ‘cause’ through ommissions.
I suggest the ‘Right’ examine their own Defintion of marriage- currently it allows for child abuse and indentured slavery.

So far as my wife and I can figure out (as we lie together in bed, enjoying each other’s company after all these years) gay marriage will mean the couple around the corner (the ones with the gorgeous garden)
would marry, and…..I mean, we wouldn’t have to divorce, would we?

It’s like the “gay agenda,” which, I think, in my more fevered moments, means people sneak into my house, play Judy Garland on the audio system, and paint my bathroom aubergine and puce.  Is that it?

And now we have Mel Gibson the great defender of the Catholic faith dumping his wife for a 24 year old. He must have the recently amended nine commandments version which gives a pass to 54 year olds hanging out with 24 year olds as long as they go to confession. Yea gay marriage is really a big threat to heterosexual marriage.
