Manufacturing Consent on Same Sex Marriage (By a gay man)
American Thinker ^ | 02/18/2014 | Doug Mainwaring

Posted on 02/18/2014 7:03:14 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Author's preface: I'm gay and I oppose the notion of same sex marriage and the engineering of children for same sex couples. Readers can view my recent speech on this topic given in the rotunda of the Utah State Capitol at the Celebration of Marriage Rally here. An Amicus brief I authored along with Professor Robert Oscar Lopez and Alana Newman for the United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit, in support of the State of Utah in Kitchen v Herbert in which we assert that children need and deserve both a mom and a dad can be found here. The issue of same sex marriage boils down to adults selfishly seeking to define a right to have children over and above the right of children to intact biological families.

During a week in which a massive snowstorm delivered a one-two punch to much of the nation, a tiny avalanche of rulings and calculated legislative maneuvers thundered down from courts and statehouses across the country.

Kentucky: A judge ruled that the state must recognize same sex marriages from other states, even though Kentucky has a same sex marriage ban in place.

Virginia: A judge overturned that state's same sex marriage ban, which went undefended by the state's new attorney general.

New Mexico: The state's attorney general has announced he will not defend his state's prohibition on same sex marriage.

Indiana: The State Senate, despite a 37 to 13 Republican supermajority, voted to postpone the inclusion of a marriage amendment on the ballot until 2016.

All of this followed recent rulings in Utah and Oklahoma which declared those state's same sex marriage bans to be unconstitutional.

A gay guy I’ve known since childhood has no use for the agenda either. He says he’s never felt oppressed simply because he doesn’t feel a need to advertize it.

It took more courage for this man to come out as conservative than to come out as gay... I’m impressed with his reasons for backing traditional marriage.

“the engineering of children for same sex couples.”

Test tube babies and surrogate “motherhood” are abominations.

Wife unit knows a homosexual man via work and he is adamantly opposed to same sex marriage.

Many of the methods used for test tube babies are abominations, not the procedure itself.

I agree on surrogate motherhood.

It’s a long, but very good and accurate read. We won’t note the damage immediately, but in a generation we’ll have children who are totally dislocated from the Absolute Nuclear Family (man/woman & children produced from their union). They’ll be fictions created by the state. The same state that seeks to subvert the fundamental unity of society - the nuclear family.
