I think the homosexualist movement would probably never have gained the power it has now if it weren’t for the acceptance of the birth control pill and abortions earlier in the 20th century. Both Rome and the major Protestant denominations had the same view about these issues until the Anglicans endorsed usage of contraception around 1930. The whole divorce of procreation from the act of sex paved the road for the mind-numbing idiocy of same-sex “marriage” today.

Bravo. Absolutely. And same sex marriage in the end is really symptom, cosequence, incident of the ideologies of recreational sex, feminism, abortion, no-fault divorce which took hold decades ago. We are in the last consequence of all of this. Same sex marriage is not cause but effect.
Actually. the beginnings of the nation’s acceptance of homosexuality as an acceptable practice came about with the AIDS epidemic. It was initially called GRID (gay related immune deficiency). The horrible and swift deaths of so many young men stirred sympathy in many segments of our society. The conundrum was that it was difficult to maintain that sympathy and condemn the behavior. Many people of influence in the media and show business made the disease a banner for their own purposes. It goes against good people’s nature to be “mean” to the dying so if you were a “good” person you certainly couldn’t say anything against these folks whose lifestyle actions endangered themselves. They were depicted as brave sensitive intelligent young men who found themselves sick dying and rejected. They were shown as loving and gentle in their relationships, not unlike you and I. All this so we couldn’t handle the epidemic as it should have been handled by quarantine and abstinance. How many of the lives of those talented young men could have been saved if such “mean and drastic “ measures had been employed? I lived through this epidemic here in SF during the 80’s. Many friends died in a matter of months while the board of supreme argued about whether or not to close down the bathhouses. They didn’t die of AIDS, they died of political correctness and the cowardness of a society to address its problems using proper but unpopular responses to its problems. Now it’s s “stop and frisk” being decried. How many more deaths will occur on our streets so that we can avoid being guilty of “racial profiling”? Thanks “progressives”, you have once again moved to avoid overpopulation.
