A same-sex marriage activist, whose marriage 11 years ago in Canada was validated Friday by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that all states must recognize gay marriage performed in other states, thanked God Friday, calling the ruling, “God’s intention and God’s work.”

“What I’d like to start by saying is what I think everyone should say when something very good happens in their life: We need to pause and give thanks to God,” said Greg Bourke, who spoke on the steps of the Supreme Court accompanied by his husband Michael De Leon and their two adopted children, Isabella and Isaiah.

“As lifelong practicing Catholics, that’s how we feel, we feel like this is God’s intention and God’s work, and so we embrace it and we thank God for it. Michael and I have been together for 33 years. We’ve been legally married for 11 years, but not until today did the state of Kentucky recognize our union. So this is a watershed day for our family. It is the same for all Kentuckians and for all Americans,” Bourke said. …

Interesting how the Marxists can find “God’s will” that isn’t written in the bible and “constitutional rights” that aren’t written in the constitution. Fact are boring anyway.

Here is the letter I sent on the subject.

Equal protection under the law now excludes tens of millions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim believers, who consider classical scholarship finds homosexual relationships separate people from God. The Old Testament, holy to “People of the Book”, speaks of the character, identity, and purpose of God in a manner, which continuously addresses homosexuality. God is identified as masculine and all humans as feminine in relation to Him. After creating all things, He created the single institution of heterosexual marriage to point to the love relationship He desires with humanity. For them any subsequent reasoning from scriptures must derive from that basic understanding.

Focusing on first principles regarding marriage renders irrelevant contrary arguments of fairness and tolerance, and pecuniary arguments regarding taxes and social welfare. The Fourteenth Amendment was not the primary concern, because Constitutionality could have been maintained through the elegant expressions, and endless tomes legislators luxuriate in creating on issues from plastic bags to healthcare.

A popular civil trend now erases foundational Constitutional principle and injects a crippling abscess into spiritual faith. These believers reside outside boundaries guaranteeing religious freedom to become guilty of cultural prejudice, and next to confront logics defining their beliefs as criminal.

Same sex marriage tears the spinal cord out of the desert religions. What remains is a gooey substitute for spiritual faith which can be layered onto any secular philosophy. People will either buy into this new normal or be unable to benefit from this redefinition of the First Amendment.

What was Nature’s intention and work when it selected Sex (the genetic exchange between male and female) — and not the mutual masturbation selected for worship by reprobate individuals who pervert nature?
