Here's a letter I wrote to our local paper in response to a column by a member of the Religious Left. She was trying to use both secular and (tortured) scriptural arguments to promote gay marriage. Not to toot my own horn, but I think this is a good example of all the Left's silly arguments in this area and how to dump them (especially their charges of bigotry) right back in their lap:
Harriett Gustason is operating under serious misconceptions in her support of gay marriage.
Misconception 1: Opposing gay marriage is judgmental or bigoted.
Judgement is God’s alone, but withholding judgement doesn’t require giving up discernment or endorsing what is wrong. It isn’t our place to judge a thief or alcoholic either, but no one would propose that we enshrine theft or drunkenness in law and call it “equality.”
Misconception 2: Gay marriage wouldn’t harm our society.
Gustason can find her reality check in a recent AP report (carried by the Journal-Standard) of a Utah trio using pro-gay court rulings to demand legalized polygamy. How long until an incestuous couple demands the same State endorsement? The Weekly Standard also recently reported on the disaster gay marriage has been in Scandinavia, with “less frequent marriage, more frequent out-of-wedlock birth, and skyrocketing family dissolution.”
Misconception 3: Defending marriage violates church-state separation.
Defending marriage neither establishes a state church or curtails free exercise of worship. Civilizations of every spiritual view– atheist, pagan, Jewish, Christian– have defined marriage as one man and one woman. How is church-state separation helped if a court dumps that pluralistic definition and replaces it with Gustason’s own view of Christian doctrine?
Misconception 4: Gustason herself is being “non-judgmental.”
She says, “Non-judgement has been my stance,” but how does she characterize those who disagree with her on this issue? “[A] creeping movement” similar to colonial witch hunters and the KKK, “radical, emotional”. Sounds more than a little judgmental to me!
Gay marriage defies common sense and is destroying Swedish, Norwegian and Danish culture. No PC sermon is going to change that.

It's all about America's filthy, perverted politics!
America has misplaced its moral compass and having it in our hands is what kept us ahead of the "pack" of slavering, communist/socialist wolves. The remedy, of course, is to cleanse our "central government" and get rid of all the dead weight: like Byrd-Brain, Specter, Daschole, Kennedy, The Twins From Maine, The two Rinos from Ohio....make no mistake, we're in trouble both from the DemocRATs and the RepublicRATs!
We need to rid our society of political correctness, pornography and the mysterious "love" affair the left (and our complicit politicians) are having with homosexuals that does nothing but further their demonic, sinful and disgusting lifestyle. They, of course, want to share this lifestyle with the rest of Americans by ruining the institution of marriage and family and they want to get their evil, clammy hands on the youngsters!
Americans need to stop moddy-coddling perversion; turn their backs on these satanists and relegate them to the sewers and dump-sites from which they spawned.
