On Monday, April 22, nine members of TFP Student Action traveled to the College Park campus of the University of Maryland to collect surveys and pass out flyers in defense of traditional marriage.
In 4 hours, Student Action collected more than 150 surveys, asking the opinion of students on homosexual “marriage,” and passed out nearly 2,000 “Stop Same-Sex Marriage” flyers. These flyers refute the scientific arguments used by the homosexual movement to push their agenda.
Radical Moral Relativism
Perhaps the most striking and pervasive aspect of those on campus in favor of same-sex “marriage” was their radical moral relativism. According to liberal students, traditional morality, which opposes sodomy, is an arbitrary tradition forcibly imposed on people through indoctrination of the youth and “social conditioning,” always to society’s own detriment, of course.
“Being anti-gay is your truth. We all have different, evolving concepts of truth. Truth is relative,” one woman said to Student Action volunteer Daniel Pribble, who replied: “Is that absolutely true?”
However, apparently all moral relativism vanished when TFP’s demonstration began. With its characteristic large American flag and red banner, TFP presence immediately divided the ideological waters on campus. Those in favor of moral absolutes waved in support, while those against it vehemently expressed their hatred.
Keeping “Tolerance” Alive
Within an hour after the start of the campaign, a small counter-demonstration formed. This is not surprising since TFP’s table was flanked by five other tables manned by Bush-haters, feminists, pro-abortionists, atheists and homosexual activists. Not able to argue rationally, pro-homosexual demonstrators made fast allies with these other tables and resorted to insults and emotional non-arguments, holding signs that read, “Go Home Nervous White Men” and “Gay is OK.” One counter-demonstrator walked up to TFP’s American flag and spit at ground in front of it. Others said “Go away, Crusaders!”
However, many students expressed their utmost support for traditional marriage. One young man said to Student Action volunteer Cesar Franco. “I’m grateful someone finally came out to fight this filth that is being shoved down our throats.” Another person said: “These guys [the homosexual activists] want you to believe that everyone is in favor or at least not against homosexual ‘marriage.’ Just you being here dispels that myth.”
This TFP campaign more than anything seemed to illustrate the fact that our nation, especially on this volatile issue, is as divided as ever. Homosexual vice is an affront to God, morality, and the family. Remaining in the middle of the road is virtually impossible. The good must stand up and defend God’s law.
Coach Johnson didn't say anything about infertility, but you're probably right that if your parents were infertile you might have problems.
I just thought the new theory about women having men-hating critters that emasculated male babies was interesting. It brought to mind a couple dykes I know who must be crawling with them.
If I knew any gay men I would ask them if they had more aunts than uncles.
No, I think he was Catholic because he mentioned a monk friend of his several times who grew peas for the church.
Stupid woman. She may have her own cloudy perception of it, but truth is not a "concept".
Truth is truth. Anything else is denial.
I believe that mitochondrial DNA proved that that gal that was in the news not too long ago was a direct decendant(sp) from Thomas' Jefferson's affair with a slave girl.
That would not work, since the mitochondrial DNA would only trace back to Sally Hemming and not Thomas Jefferson, per you original statement.
