Gay ‘marriage’ was overturned in the recent election-day passage of Proposition 8 in California, in which the measure passed 52% to 48%. Proposition 8 was a California ballot proposition that changed the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman and eliminated the right of same-sex couples to marry. The proposition did not affect domestic partnerships in California. Conservative value voter’s satisfaction over the successful defense of traditional marriage however, is likely to be short-lived. A 4% victory margin is not exactly a mandate.
Homosexual activists will accept nothing less than complete victory, as demonstrated by their ongoing street protests following the decision, which for them means homosexual marriage as a Constitutional right throughout the United States. If current education policies concerning sexual orientation continue, which by all accounts they will, it will only be a matter of time before activist judges or an Obama appointed Supreme Court will overturn Proposition 8 and make homosexual marriage the law of the land. If that doesn’t happen, then when older-generation conservative Californian’s die off, homosexual activists will afterward be able to easily pass Proposition Elimin-8 in the future.
How did homosexuality gain such a foothold in America? Everything about the act of homosexual behavior is wrong, so the homosexual lobby did not get to where it is today through logical debate and reasoned thought. It was accomplished primarily through propaganda education and emotional appeal.
Years ago homosexual proponents realized the power of indoctrination through education. Their first public message for their movement was ‘tolerance.’ Tolerance lead to anti-discrimination laws being passed. After all, if the public had learned that it was expected to tolerate homosexuals, then how could anyone discriminate against them? Next came the message of ‘acceptance.’ Acceptance lead to laws against sodomy being overthrown or not enforced. After all, if the public had learned to accept homosexuals, then how could they be prosecuted for sexual acts that the public accepted? Which leads us to where we are today; the final public message being lobbied: ‘equality.’
The reason why homosexual marriage will likely become the law of the land is that the American populace has been indoctrinated in the idea that homosexual unions and heterosexual unions are equal and it is simply a matter of sexual preference. It is a hard sell and the public isn’t completely swallowing it, but the propaganda sales pitch continues unabated and virtually unchallenged. The conservative position rarely engages this falsehood of equality and merely holds to the position that marriage must remain defined as a union between a one man and one woman as it has traditionally been so for thousands of years. This argument alone is weak. It is reminiscent of segregation laws in the South that maintained that Whites and Blacks were equals, but lawmakers there felt it necessary to maintain “whites only” and “blacks only” public facilities, such as restaurants, water fountains and bathrooms. If the argument goes unopposed, that homosexuals and heterosexuals are equals, then the courts and the lawmakers of this land must approve gay marriage as a matter of equal rights and protections under the laws of the Constitution. After all, if the public learns to accept homosexual unions as being on an equal plane with heterosexual unions, then how can homosexual unions be denied the same legal status name of marriage that is afforded to heterosexual unions?
Therein lies the crux of the problem in opposing gay marriage. The key to winning the debate, if conservatives ever muster enough backbone to challenge the homosexual lobby, is to define homosexual acts as wrong - a position once widely acknowledged as a universal truth. Conservatives must attack the codeword planks of the homosexual movement, those being tolerance, acceptance and equality, as nonsense. Homosexual acts are not equal with heterosexual acts, neither should such acts be accepted or tolerated. Homosexuals can and should be discriminated against. To adopt the position that gays should be entitled to live in “separate, but equal” civil unions, but be opposed to calling such unions ‘marriage,’ is the same “separate, but equal” position of the segregationist, maintaining the need for “whites only” and “blacks only” facilities.
Discrimination against sexual activity outside of marriage is not exclusive to homosexuals. Laws against heterosexual incest, polygamy and rape are enforced. Laws against adultery and fornication are usually on the books, but rarely enforced today. In Blackjack, Missouri, a town ordinance prohibits more than three people from living together unless they are related by “blood, marriage or adoption.”(1). This law is used to deny occupancy permits and evict unmarried heterosexual couples with multiple children who live together. Reporters have questioned the legality of the ordinance and whether the city is wrong to enforce such a law. Will anyone ask the heterosexual couples with children, living together and facing eviction, “Why don’t you just get married?”
The whole homosexual movement and the associated language that the movement uses have been tolerated for far too long. Can anyone really have a ’sex-change’ operation? Of course you cannot! If you are born a male and go to a ’sex-change’ clinic and undergo the finest operation and subsequent treatments, you can never be turned into a woman. There is no man that has ever undergone such a treatment that can truly be called a woman. If ‘he’ were truly a woman after a ’sex-change’ operation, ‘he’ would be able to conceive children. No man born alive has ever been changed into a woman, capable of giving birth. ‘Doctors’ who perform such operations are creating nothing more than Frankenstein monsters. A man can tattoo spots all over his body, but that doesn’t give him the right to call himself a leopard. Why do sexually mutilated men have the right to call themselves women and use women’s public bathrooms? A person cannot change their gender and any man that claims to be a woman should not be acknowledged as such. Such a person is a surgically mutilated man; a living, breathing, walking, talking abomination.
“Same-sex marriage is not the cause of the erosion of traditional marriage, it is the result of it.” -Charles Krauthammer 2007.
Another feeble-minded argument that many conservatives make against gay marriage is that if it becomes law, suddenly traditional marriage will be in jeopardy. Are they saying that heterosexual couples across the land will no longer wish to get married, because gay married people will somehow prevent them from doing so, or because suddenly heterosexual couples will not marry anymore so that they can keep their homosexual marriage hopes and dreams alive? This argument makes little sense and if that’s the best conservatives can do, it just illustrates that they are not willing to confront the real issue as to whether homosexual conduct is proper and whether the government should recognize such unions as valid, legitimate and legal.
Many Democratic politicians and some Republicans, such as Senator John McCain, have opposed legislation calling for a federal amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The “let the States decide” argument is the biggest cowardly position a politician can take, and they take it for different reasons. Some want to see gay marriage the law of the land, but they know it is not a politically popular stand, so they hide behind the letting the States decide argument. They are hoping that when enough States become gay marriage States, the Supreme Court will take up the issue and likely make gay marriage a Constitutional right, as they did with abortion in 1973. Politicians like McCain are pragmatic, likely seeing the battle over the issue of gay marriage as lost, while trying to keep it contained at the State level by some individual States, much like gun laws that vary State by State.
Here are 10 reasons why gay marriage is not only wrong, but also why homosexuality itself is wrong:
1. Homosexual acts are considered evil and the practice is condemned by every major religion. The Judeo-Christian Bible refers to the act of male homosexuals bonding “an abomination.”(2). If gay marriage became legal in the United States, it would be another reason for Islamic terrorists to attack us. Many religious conservatives believe that we lose our blessings and protections from God when we embrace homosexuality. God Bless America? He can’t do that if we as a nation make a mockery of His laws and call the abominable practice of homosexuality ‘marriage.’ The fall of nations that have preceded us, having embraced homosexuality, is well documented in biblical and secular history.
2. Homosexual acts (sodomy) are perverted sex acts. A penis is not designed to be inserted into an anus, thus it is a perversion. That is what perversion means: to use something in a way in which it is not intended to be used. A penis is a liquid waste disposal organ and a reproductive organ. An anus is a solid waste disposal organ. They were not designed by God (or through evolution) to go together.
3. Homosexuals cannot reproduce and repopulate the earth. The human body, (Hollywood movies aside), will never evolve to the point where two human males or two human females will give birth. One does not need to be religious to be against gay marriage. Evolution Theory and basic science itself instructs us that the human species cannot and will not propagate through homosexuality. Homosexuals cannot reproduce, so they must recruit.
4. Homosexuality is not natural. Here we can learn from the animals. In nature, animals never engage in anal intercourse. Animals cannot be trained to engage in anal intercourse. The occasional stray animal may not be interested in sex and there have been reported cases of animals that form a male bond and roam together and forgo sex, but these animals do not engage in anal intercourse, so they are not homosexual. Therefore homosexuality must somehow be connected to a perverted human mind since, with the sole exception of man, anal intercourse does not occur in the animal kingdom.
5. Homosexuals are generally very promiscuous. This knowledge has been acquired from numerous studies and statistics. Homosexuals have a lower life expectancy than heterosexuals. Homosexuals typically have as many as 500 sexual partners in their lifetime.
6. AIDS does discriminate against homosexuals. HOMOSEXUAL MEN ARE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SPREADING HIV AND AIDS THROUGHOUT AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS IS NOT HOMOPHOBIA, IT IS HOMO-FACT!
7. America cannot afford to care for gays and give them benefits such as Social Security survivor benefits from a gay marriage. If people really care about gays, they should encourage them to come out of their unhealthy and self-destructive lifestyle. America is going more and more bankrupt. Do we really need to add gay marriage benefits and related hospital expenditures to its financial collapse?
8. Americans have the right to discriminate based on behavior. If you take away that right, you violate the “Freedom of Association” amendment to the Constitution. Americans do not and should not have to tolerate any and all persons and forms of behavior that are not normal and are considered by many to be an affront to common sense and decency.
9. Americans have the right to make behavior-based laws. Americans make sexual behavior-based laws for heterosexuals and homosexuals have no right to be excluded from such laws concerning their sexual practices. There are restrictions against heterosexual marriage and practices. A brother cannot marry his sister, a father his daughter (incest), polygamy and bestiality are outlawed. Additionally, there are States that still enforce laws against adultery, fornication, heterosexual sodomy and heterosexual couples living together without a marriage license. So marriage and sexual practice laws do not necessarily discriminate against gays only.
10. Homosexuals do not have the right to re-define marriage. The definition of what constitutes a marriage has been based on Judeo-Christian precepts as well as common sense secular laws for thousands of years.
