If it's Scottish, it's crap

At least in this case.  This is what people on this side of the Atlantic fear from the Gay Rights Movement.  A Catholic adoption agency in Scotland has been told it's time to get with the times, or hit the road. With the exception of the HHS mandate, it's been homosexuality, not abortion, that has become the one issue that threatens to overturn the apple cart when it comes to traditional understanding of religious freedom and religious liberty   Up until a few years back, you assumed that religious liberty meant the government could not force a religious tradition to change its deeply held beliefs 

And in America, that is still the case. But in other parts of the hip, enlightened post-Christian West, that is not the case.  I know, they don't have such things as a 1st or 2nd or 8th Amendment enshrined in their Constitution the way the United States does.  But, the fact is, it's a trend.  And given the growing tendency here at home for people to start questioning when it's a good thing to ditch some of this freedom garbage, it doesn't bode well for the future.  Especially when those who resist gay marriage are, like everything else non-liberal, more likely to fight each other and disagree on what any of it means, than to come together and join the common cause.  I fear our brethren and sistren overseas are realizing this too late.  I wonder if we Yankees will learn in time.
