Amidst the radical lobotomy that marriage is undergoing, I am prepared to make a slightly educated, non-researched proclamation as to the state of same-sex marriage. I believe at least 25% of all relationships will be classified as same-sex in 25 years (2030). Of course the term “same-sex” will have been replaced with another term less offensive and more accommodating to decrease social distinction from traditional marriage. But that is what the relationship will revolve around, two people of the same gender in a committed relationship. How can I make this statement? There are at least 3 precipitating factors:
1. The state of family today – over 50% divorce rate by some studies.
2. The increase in child abuse involving same-sex relatives/friends (this is a high factor in a person turning “gay”).
3. Internet pornography/TV. The level of immoral behavior being displayed and being promoted is recreating what love, romance, and commitment means.
Because of these three things, I firmly believe the case for 25% of all relationships being same-sex in 25 years is easily foreseeable.
Question: Am I Crazy?
BTW. This is a global effort right now!

I could agree that 25% or more “marriages” might be classified as same sex by the year 2030, but would disagree that of 25% total “relationships” would be same sex.
Is homosexuality really on the rise, or is it just so much more acceptable these days and hence out in the open more than ever? Even now we have the “in your face” and “you must accept me” attitude from that “community”.
With more and more seemingly happy same-sex partners, less and less happily married male/female marriages, an out of control divorce rate, and legislation probably looming making same sex marriages legal nationwide one day, I can see even 50% of marriages becoming same sex by 2030.
I think that same sex relationships will always be a small minority, but since more male/female relationships are content to live together and avoid that pesky commitment thing known as marriage, then same sex marriage will eventually catch up. Overall relationship will probably skew about the same as less than 5% considered (same sex relationships).
Sad to live in a time were male/female married couples are trying to get away from each other in droves while same sex couples are begging to get married and formally commit to one another for life.
These are the times in which we live.
God please be merciful to our nation and use us to show your love to the hurting, both to unbelievers and believers alike.
