By now I’m sure you know about the Connecticut Supreme Court’s Friday ruling. Four of seven judges said homosexuals have a “right” to marry. After being outlawed and stigmatized for thousands of years throughout most cultures and every major religion, sodomy has gone mainstream. An attempt to make respectable that which perverts God’s order of things…it’s a pity. But we are without excuse.
It’s like this: I tell you what God says about it. I pray for you. But I don’t care what consenting adults, homosexual or otherwise, do in private. I really don’t. I don’t want to know or have anything to do with your business. But I’m forced to know and to care, because certain people are pushing to redefine marriage in order to normalize what is abnormal and make acceptable what is abhorrent.
Did you know that in California, homosexuals can register as domestic partners and receive rights, protections, and benefits? But they want much more than mere rights, protections, and benefits. Homosexuals who want to “marry” in the traditional meaning of the word seek a societal stamp of approval. They want us to accept them as normal. They want “dignity” and “respect” for their unions.
At the same time, they want to shake up the foundation and build a new one. They want to strip us of our prerogative to make judgments. Anything we have to say contrary to what they desire is “bigoted” and “intolerant.” They are the only ones allowed to judge.
Not on my watch.
California’s a weird place. It’s a got a raging-liberal reputation, yet 61.4 percent of voters chose to ban homosexual “marriage” in 2000. In June, the California Supreme Court overturned that law 4-3. Four judges said the people’s will was nil. Consequently, over a million Californians signed a petition for Proposition 8, which defines marriage as between only a man and a woman. The measure will appear on the November 4 ballot.
I arrived in California too late to sign the petition, but I will be voting YES on Proposition 8.
Later…As expected, the ballot language presupposes that “same-sex” couples have a right to marry, which they do not:
ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME–SEX COUPLES TO MARRY.
INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t eliminate all instances of bias.
