Just so Americans understand what we're in for with the creation of legal homosexual "marriage" in Massachusetts, here is some perspective.
Marriage, as a civic institution in Massachusetts, has been destroyed, not "expanded."
The very first homosexual couple "married" in the "gay" Mecca of Provincetown told the Boston Herald about their new "commitment":
[Jonathan Yarbrough] says the concept of forever is "overrated" and that he, as a bisexual, and [his partner Cody] Rogahn, who is gay, have chosen to enjoy an open marriage. "I think it's possible to love more than one person and have more than one partner, not in the polygamist sense," he said. "In our case, it is, we have, an open marriage."
"Marriage" in Massachusetts not only fails to require the presence of a wife, or a husband, but is not even tied to monogamy anymore.
Elsewhere in Massachusetts, a newborn baby recently was left on the doorstep of a Catholic church in Boston. The priest took in the baby girl, and immediately thought of a childless married couple in the church who were desperate to adopt. But when the priest called the social-services agency, the baby was shipped off to two homosexual men in the western part of the state. By design, this girl will never know a mother's love.
She's not the only victim of social engineering. During the March 11 debate in the Massachusetts Legislature over "gay" marriage, State Sen. Therese Murray, D-Plymouth, boasted, "Forty percent of children adopted have gone to gay and lesbian families." If Sen. Murray is correct, homosexuals, who constitute less than 3 percent of the population, are being given enormous preference over mom-and-dad families.
Homosexual activists say that marriage as the union of one man and one woman is "discriminatory," and that we no longer need a wife in a marriage, or a husband in a marriage. Also, it no longer matters in the least that children need both a mother and a father.
In a free country, deluded people can believe all sorts of things, and act accordingly on their own. But when the law imposes this understanding on everyone, government is creating lies and eventually will use force to promote acceptance of the lies.
In the old Soviet Union, the government routinely lied to the people – so much so that the Russian people became cynical and dejected. They developed a repertoire of black humor to cover their pain. We didn't think it could happen in the United States, but we were wrong.
The government of Massachusetts is telling its citizens that a union without a wife or a husband is a marriage. This bizarre lie will be imposed, through government force, on all institutions – from businesses to public schools – and it will result in immediate legal action in many other states, as activists try to use the Bay State's betrayal of marriage as a lever to destroy it elsewhere.
It's no use offering "civil unions" as a compromise. Appeasement doesn't work. If the state officially sanctions and promotes homosexuality, there are no longer any grounds to make distinctions in family law. Children, like the hapless baby girl in Boston, will be placed routinely in fatherless or motherless households. Who could object?
And once the moral distinction between marriage and homosexuality is lost, there is no stopping point for further redefinitions of the institution. Why not bless three or more who say they feel they are "married"? And why should churches which refuse to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies continue to enjoy tax-exempt status? Why, indeed, should the Boy Scouts not welcome homosexual men to take boys into the woods, if we cannot make any moral distinctions whatever or face charges of bigotry?
During the Supreme Court hearings on the Boy Scout case in 2000, pro-life pastor Rev. Rob Shenk was sitting in the audience next to the White House liaison for "gay" issues. Thinking the pastor was a fellow liberal, the woman whispered, "We're not going to win this case, but that's OK. Once we get 'hate crime' laws on the books, we're going to go after the Scouts and all the other bigots."
In Canada and Sweden, it is now a hate crime to criticize homosexuality in any fashion, including saying that marriage is once and forever the union of a man and a woman. How long will it be for the United States – in the name of "tolerance" – to criminalize the notion that marriage is God's way of blessing us and that homosexuality is immoral and unhealthy?
Homosexual activist Michaelangelo Signorile wrote in 1996 that homosexual "marriage" would be:
... the chance to wholly transform the definition of family in American culture. It is the final tool with which to dismantle all sodomy statutes, get education about homosexuality and AIDS in the public schools, and, in short, usher in a sea change in how society views and treats us.
So, next time you hear one of the newly "married" couples on television saying it's just about "being fair" and helping "loving couples" achieve equality, understand that something far more radical is underway.
One more thing. Activists will be saying in the coming weeks: "'Gay' marriage happened, and the sky didn't fall." No, radical social change does not happen overnight. When Uncle Sam began issuing welfare checks to unwed mothers, it took several years to destroy black families and achieve an out-of-wedlock birthrate of 85 percent in some cities.
"Gay marriage" has an inexorable logic that leads us to the destruction of the most basic moral understandings. And it contains the seed of totalitarianism as this lie is imposed, through government force, on those of us who believe God when He said in Genesis, "A man shall leave his mother and father, and join his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Whenever you're tempted to think this will blow over and won't amount to much, think of that baby girl in western Massachusetts.
It is now up to average Americans to decide whether they will submit to a sexually perverse and oppressive future, or to hold public officials accountable for bringing this down upon us and our children and grandchildren.
"Well Johnny, you really won't know if you're gay, until you try it. Just make sure to take your time, and use a quality anal lubricant with your special friend Billy. It only hurts at first, but keep at it, and it'll feel wonderful."
The above is paraphrased from actual teachers' guides.
Ask your "what's the problem?" friends if they're ready for their children to get homosexual sex ed, with the even-stephen pitch to try it out. That's next, the NEA and ACLU will demand it.
BTTT
Many adolescent kids in urban areas have already been desensitized to queerness.
Kids today actually declare that they are queer at 14 or 15.
Hard to imagine that just 20 years ago.
Girls are particularly honed to think there's nothing wrong with it.
This may be the biggest battle we parents have to fight against in the culture.
The rise of homosexuality and it's acceptance is ALWAYS a symptom of great civilizations entering their decline.
I know that far too frequently gay couples have been able to adopt children. I didn't know it was THIS bad. THIS is devastating.
If we do linear projections, we're doomed as a society. It's very likely the applecart will be overturned in the next decade (economic collapse, pandemic, WMDs etc) so maybe we'll get a chance to put America back on its wheels in the aftermath.
The United States is not impervious to the propensity for the government to lie and just like any other country we too can lose our freedom. I have always believed that. People who don't realize it are only fooling themselves which may prove to be a very costly mistake.
What is happening to our country? I feel like it has gone completely mad all around us! When did we lose control?
"The above is paraphrased from actual teachers' guides."
Are you freakin' kidding??
I wish I was. Ed Reform has the actual text. Remember "Fistgate?"
In a couple of years it'll be a "hate crime" to punch out swishy fags who wink and blow kisses to your adolescent son.
I.T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I. :^(
My view is that "gay marriage" isn't going to immediately destroy the basic understanding of social organization. But over a couple of years it will have a catastrophic impact on the family and on the continuity of society. The only real question is whether this outcome will be prevented from happening.
Are you freakin' kidding??
No. Here's what I posted to Travis in the thread "Elementary school students witness gay marriages :
Anal sex will have to be dealt with on an equal footing with normal heterosexual sex...
...Just be sure to use a quality lubricant, or you could hurt your 'special friend' Michael. And remember to take your time; it only hurts at first...
There are many people who will scoff at your commentary, however it's documented in actual homosexual publications on recommended reading lists for middle and high school aged kids:
An excerpt from "GLSEN Encourages Teens In Anal SEX "Don't give up.""
"The following quotes are from three Alyson publications recomended to teens by GLSEN: Young, Gay and Proud!, One Teenager in Ten, and Two Teenagers in Twenty...
These books are in middle and high schools around the nation. Adults, real adults, have a responsibility to inform themselves about whats going on in public schools we fund. It is criminal to allow these people to educate our children on matters of sexuality!The children are depending on us to protect them. Please pass this information on to parents and other concerned adults.
Advice offered to teenagers in Young, Gay and Proud!
The page numbers will differ depending on what edition you have.
...If this presents a realistic look into the life of a child struggling with same sex desires then these children are seduced/molested at an alarmingly high rate and engage in dangerous/abusive sexual activity at a very young age. What's worse is that the adults who purport to care most about them (the editor of this book for example) present this sexual abuse as if they were tender "coming of age" stories. As if the children struggling with same sex desires are showing how healthy they are by engaging in sex with adults and by having sexual encounters regularly beginning at a very young age."Doing it: Gay men...Many people don't know the anus is not only an organ to remove waste. It's very sexually exciteable...Your first few times having anal sex might be a little hard. You may have to practice a bit before it starts feeling really good. I sure did." (pg. 81)
And, the message is clear, if "straight" kids don't want to be closed-minded, if they want to be "open" and "free" they'll mimic the homosexual sexual behavior and promiscuity related in these books.
In several stories intense sexual activity as a child is presented as normal and healthy, even child/adult sex is presented without question. Five and six year old's who regularly engaged in sex are described as children "who were willing" to explore their sexuality "to it's fullest extent." Many stories fondly recount a youthful sexual encounter with a much older man or woman. Sexual promiscuity and engaging in sex as a child/teenager is presented as "sexual freedom".
Heterosexual or "questioning" youth are encouraged to try same sex intercourse because, the Kinseyin theory is repeated over and over, "Everyone's really gay or bisexual." and "You won't know if you like it until you try it."..."

If you thought that the infiltration and damage done by the homosexual community in the Church was bad, just wait and see what they have planned for the public schools.
They were NOT joking when they said: We shall sodomize your sons... We shall seduce them in your schools... ( more here ).
:^(
Thanks for documenting for all of us.
Yeah, liberal Seattle wasn't going to let us adopt either, but Russia did. Three times. You gotta use a Christian adoption agency and thank God, there is still one in Seattle.
Oh yeah, and keep them out of the public schools. Bleck.
It's unbelievable, and it's true. Perverts used to have to lurk in public toilets, now they work for our schools, seducing our kids into the homosexual death-style.
I pung all of you to this thread "upstream", but I couldn't resist pinging you again to EdReform's post #34. Some of you are new on this list and may not have read all this stuff about the homosexual activists' plans for the public schools. Please read Ed's post carefully, check the links, and print out or email to people who may not know the facts.
