What the 'gay marriage' debate is really about
Renew America ^ | October 12, 2014 | J. Matt Barber

Posted on 10/14/2014 5:34:58 AM PDT by detective

It's called Pandora's Box.

And the Supreme Court just opened it.

Did you actually think the debate over "gay marriage" was about marriage? Have you really come to believe that this cultural kerfuffle has anything to do with "civil rights" or "equality"? Have you bought into the popular premise that this is a legitimate discussion on federalism – that it's a reasonable disagreement over whether the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause requires that newfangled "gay marriage," something rooted in same-sex sodomy, a deviant and disease-prone behavior our Constitution's framers officially declared "the infamous crime against nature," be made law of the land?

A lot of people have, so don't feel bad. A lot of reasonable, well-meaning and even, at times, intelligent people have taken the bait.

But that's all window dressing. It's superficial. It's collateral. It's chaff, a diversion, a squirrel. Don't chase it.

No amount of tolerance, acceptance or equality will ever satisfy the network of homosexual activists.

They hate good, holy people and want to see them suffer. They now control the media, the government and have infiltrated many religious hierachies.

I’ll make it simple. It’s meant to destroy churches. Those churches that go along and marry gay couples aren’t really churches. Those churches that refuse will have their tax exempt status removed.

“Unnatural Marriage” .. Perfect description and appropriate for adult conversation

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who happens to be both a big fan of unnatural marriage and one of the aforementioned intelligentsia, summarized this worldview neatly when he wrote the following in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. He did so while attempting to rationalize government-sanctioned child sacrifice, the evil twin to "gay marriage": "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life," he pontificated.

Obviously a baby in the womb is unable to define his or her own concept of existence.

But then, so is a one year old. And a two year old. And a ...... come to think of it, just when DOES one gain the ability to define one's own existence, Mr. Justice?

It was an opening for multiple marriages like muzzies who rely on government benefits and for pedophiles. After all, “happiness” in the Constitution is now open to lib justices interpretation.

Its all about the perpetual need of homosexuals to exhibit themselves. The psychological need to be noticed. After the cameras leave and the hoopla is over, very few of the recorded marriages in Massachusetts are same sex. The figure five years after “legalization” is about one in five hundred. Exhibitionism is as common with homosexuals as is child molestation. Politically incorrect to state but true nevertheless.

That’s true, “GAY MARRIAGE” isn’t about equality at all. It’s TAXES. When our politicians, because they are the smartest people in the, passed a law concerning taxing married people differently, than single people, the GAY COMMUNITY figured they had better get in on the action. That’s when this “GAY MARRIAGE” got to be born. If we change the TAX structure, where every one is taxed equally, you won’t hear any more about “GAY MARRIAGE”

All of the above .. and more.

The root is .. power.

Power over thought is the most powerFUL.

Preachers and psychotherapists both have clientele that pay them to change their way of thinking

(Born again Christian .. that was a clinical comment)

I would like to see one federal court rule that another federal courts rejection of a people’s vote is unconstitutional.

someone’s been reading my FR posts!

Seriously, good article on exactly what the whole “gay rights” thing is about.

He didn’t venture into the idea that the goal of the left is not just to win a worldview argument - they seek to criminalize Christian beliefs to the point that they can use the power of the State to punish and exterminate those who ascribe to them.

Every attack Progressives have mounted for decades has been aimed at the FAMILY. They have known all along. Wilson said his goal was to make a man as little like his father as possible. Their best play is to redefine words. Duplicity and deceit are the tactics of the Left. (Sound familiar?). If they can destroy the family there will be no opposition. They have been chipping away for a hundred years. They have never made their strategy secret. By changing the definition they can lie about what it is they are up to. They can even get all sanctimonious about their intentions. Just like they do when they claim to support the Constitution. Not the one you and I know and carry around but their “redefined” living version of it. When a Rat gets all huffy and accuses one of challenging his support for “families” just remember what “families” he is talking about.

As above queer marriage has always been a sham. Even in their so called marriages male homosexuals have little interest in monogamy. Notice the media always trots out a couple homely spinsters as the poster children for queer marriage. What percentage of queer couples do you suppose are homely spinsters? Damn few I suspect. But they are all big Rat activists you can bet your ass and all only too willing to play their part in the charade.

Agree. This is not about anything other than destroying the traditional family and an attack on religion, mostly Christianity. Every pillar of American morality has been under attack since the late 1960s by the hard core radical left with the singular goal of destroying western civilization. It reached a peak with the election of Obama and has made rapid and very significant advances under his leadership.

Bulls-eye. Destroy marriage and you destroy the family.

Destroy the family and you destroy the society. Look at the black community in the last 50 years. Satan knows what he’s doing. And that his time is short.

We are, for the most part, a nation of fools. Remove God, and you remove truth.

Why does man want to remove God? Because his heart is desperately wicked and he wants to hide that. Especially from himself.

Yes, homosexual “marriage” is about destroying the foundation of the family and criminalizing Christianity/Orthodox Judaism, etc.

But it’s also about something else.

It’s all about the children.

The left’s agenda is about access to children. ruth buzzy ginsberg said years ago that she wanted to lower the age of consent to 12. zero has allowed thousands of Central American children into this country (in order to supply his human trafficking friends). Perversion dominates the left, and drives their every move.

Children of homosexual “marriage” will be taught that anything goes with sex. And they will provide a continual supply for the left’s pedophile proclivities.

<<Did you actually think the debate over “gay marriage” was about marriage?<<

No, it's about sin and satan perverting God's holy will for HIS creation.

So it follows that those who push an agenda that is contrary to God's will are being used by the father of lies and don't even know it.

Not an indictment because we all fall short in the eyes of a Holy God. Point is, there is good and then there is evil. It is taught in scripture that as we move toward the day Christ pierces the clouds, good will be called evil and evil good.

Sound familiar folks?
