Is opposition to gay ‘marriage’ about warding off a public threat, or policing private morality? Is it about imposing religiously-derived categories onto a secular public, or protecting our way of life?
...I fall into the category of what would probably be considered an “anti-gay activist” since I have been very involved in both Britain and the United States campaigning against the promotion of homosexuality in the schools and, more recently, same-sex ‘marriage.’
But perhaps these efforts are misplaced. Does the gay agenda really threaten marriage? Is homosexuality really a political issue, or just a question of private morality?
These were some of the questions that Frederica’s thought-provoking article raised. Since the time when she wrote that article, David Dunn has argued that gay marriage will definitely not affect traditional marriage in any way.

It’s an affront to Almighty God.
Gay marriage ignores Natural Law which is the foundation of our Constitution which protects the sovereignty of the individual from the tyranny of the state.

Gays wouldn’t want to get “married” if divorce hadn’t become so easy. No fault divorce was really the beginning of the end for traditional marriage. Divorce is as much of an offense against God as gay “marriage” or any other sexual abomination, whether it be adultery, fornication, or the myriad other ways we have found to profane the sacred power of procreation.
I don’t know if divorce is as much an affront as sodomy, but you’re right...the ease with which divorce was accepted by the church and society paved the way for the current sickness.
Interesting, thank you for the link.
Wow! Great article, thanks.
Just imagine if, back in the 1960s when "no fault" divorce was being introduced in the U.S., someone had countered with the argument that it would pave the way for homosexual marriage!
Just goes to show you how the "Law of Unintended Consequences" works.

If you observe the order of precedence articulated in Romans 1:20++, it’s evidently sort of like a plague or punishment delivered upon a culture that worships the created instead of the Creator.
“Because of this, God gave them over”

And a misogynists wet dream that equates the vulva to the anus.
