Thanks for the article. Sometimes I think that we just need to change the language.
Homosexuals, and their sympathizers, destroyed the word “gay”. Lots of people of my generation are named Gay, and it was a perfectly decent word. Now the homosexuals have undermined its meaning starting in the ‘70s and have turned it into a negative word. There is NOTHING gay about the state of homosexuality. To call homosexualilty “gay” is like calling evil “good”, sadness “joy”, uneducated “learned”, etc.
So, now they want the word “marriage” applied to their “unions”. Well, we could just outsmart them and change the name of heterosexual marriage. I don’t have a candidate for a name yet, but I’m thinking about it. Of course we’d have to alter a plethora of laws and regulations to show the differentiation.
I know this sounds like abandoning the battlefield. But, that is exactly how George Washington won the Revolution — disappearing from the battlefield and hitting the enemy elsewhere!
Seems to me a faith can call it whatever they want, and some already do. Holy matrimony, the sacrament of marriage, blessed marriage and so on. Those faiths that already accept ‘gay marriage’ probably call it these things as well though.
“Of course wed have to alter a plethora of laws and regulations to show the differentiation.”
If we are at the point of the state inevetably accepting ‘gay marriage’ in how it recognizes the institution, I’m not sure how relying on the state to protect and differentiate this new term is very plausible, in my opinion. If judges, pols, or the voting public decide that your new official state recognized term that only applies to actual marriage will also be used for gay couples, then that is how the state will recognize it.
