The Corrosive Effects of the Gay Left's Coup

I've taken some heat for describing the actions of San Francicso Mayor Gavin Newsom and others forcing gay marriage on the public against its will and against the law as a "coup." I stand by the description; in fact, I seem to have understated the true scope of the courts' role in undermining the normal, traditional understanding of the family via same-sex rulings over the past few years. In short, the coup has been underway for nearly a decade, and is succeeding largely by staying under the public's radar. Mayor Newsom may have done us all a favor by unwittingly exposing the radical left's court strategy to the light of day.

Some will argue that allowing gay marriage will not harm their own marriage, or that of any straight man-woman marriage, and in a very narrow sense they do have a point: If two men marry each other, it has no effect on my own marriage at all. But we aren't really talking about just the mere fact of two men marrying each other. Sanctioning that marriage and a redefinition of marriage in general will affect the legal system, which will in turn affect every institution that comes into contact with the institution of marriage in any way. Divorce and custody law will have to adjust to the new reality. The welfare state, adoption systems, the juvenile justice system, and all religious institutions that provide charitable services or employ any number of people or opine in any way about any aspect of gay issues or marriage issues--all of these will either adjust on their own or, more likely, will be forced to adjust by court decisions.

I may sound to some like I'm paranoid when I worry what gay marriage will do to the church. Even some Christians have criticized me for making too much of gay marriage's threat to the church. But take a look at this case, and see if you can follow the logical thread it lays out:

Thanks for the post. I'll have to finish reading it later -- this is my bookmark.

It's the affect on children that worries me the most. God help the children of this generation.

This gay marriage is like a tidal wave going across the United States. I wonder who is behind getting this group fired up so fast?

Not to worry! Look at the contribution gay priests have made to the Catholic Church!

This is going to really blow my mind if this thing passes the courts. And I now feel certain it will....these groups almost always get their way.

How will Gay Marriage effect Islam? Can't we force the whole world to accept this new revelation? God is Gay

[Damagro]

Let's not limit our imaginations here. These are same sex marriages, not necessarily just gay marriages. I can see some extra benefits coming to folks willing to enter a sham same sex marriage of convenience. The possibilities here are pretty broad

[Old Professer]

Same-sex marriage is already here; all that remains is to see how popular it becomes and whether attempts to appeal it are successful.

Is there any reason why this can't be posted in its entirety? It is not only troublesome to have to go somewhere else to read it, but it will narrow down the readers, and by having it all posted on FR it's here for eternity (more or less).

Thanks for your considering this.

Looks like this guy makes sense. "Gay marriage" will undoubtedly destroy our country, and he gives some good reasons why.

Let me know if you want on/off this ping list.

PS - No doubt libertarians would say something like, "Well, the gov't shoulnd't be involved in a,b,c,d,e, and f, and if the gov't was all different, this wouldn't matter."

Right, and if it didn't snow in the north and wasn't hot in the south, and if none of us had to work any more, things would be all different, too.

I couldn't get it to format correctly. Sorry, not too good at html yet.

[little jeremiah]

no problem, I just like it when the whole article is visible (i'm being self-centered - I have wretchedly slow dialup!)

I only know how to paragraph, bold and italics, myself.

.I don't really think this has been fast, it just appears that way. They have been planning this coup on the law for quite a while, and I am sure they had all of their ducks in a row so to speak!

[Americathy]

I always get stuck on indented paragraph. I just learned a new command today - BLOCKQUOTE - so I'll try that next time. :)
