I agree that homosexual marriage should continue to be banned. My major reasons are that the public schools will be sued into teaching gay is OK regardless of the opinions of the parents. Also, anyone in the wedding business will be sued into oblivion if they try to avoid servicing homosexual weddings.

In any case, Sullivan's statement is not in support of recruiting. He believes (or at least claims to) that there are certain kids who are going to find out that they are gay and shouldn't have to suffer any abuse when they find that out. He probably believes the gay community line that no kids who are heterosexual will even try to experiment with homosexuality just because their teachers spend class time talking about it.

Personally I don't believe any school time should be wasted on any of this, and if the parents don't teach their kids about the birds and the bees so be it. Parents don't teach their kids how to manage their money or how to drive properly, so why should we expect them to teach their kids about the birds and the bees? And why should be expect the schools to do a better job of it when they are so bad at simple things like math and reading?

One thing I disagree with you on is your confidence that homosexual marriage will continue to be opposed by the electorate.

There used to be a solid 75% opposed to gay marriage. Now it is down to 55% or so. It won't be long before that erodes to 45%.

Then we at FR will be under constant threat of being found guilty of hate crimes for just expressing our opinions in opposition to what will be the status quo ... or rather ... status ho mo!

Everyone should keep this in mind -

they will NOT ALLOW DISSENTING OPINIONS

when they get power.

So, you will have the same choices as you do under Islamic rule:

Convert,
Be enslaved,
or Die

“if the parents don’t teach their kids about the birds and the bees so be it”

Even the youngest of children know through common sense that Mommy is a woman and Daddy is a man. With open eyes they see that Man + Woman = baby while Man + Man = HIV. It is not something that even needs to be taught - it is self evident.

You are quite correct.

In the long run, unfortunately, this is a losing cause.

Barring some dramatic change in our society’s trajectory.

A child has a right to a mother and father. To suggest that a gay couple has the right to a family as this author states is to deny a child a mother or father. If you like what fatherlessness in America has wrought, Detroit would be great. One can get a house there for $500.

“There used to be a solid 75% opposed to gay marriage.”

Then we need a better PR campaign. The only reason the depraved Left is gaining on us in this issue is because they have a great PR campaign (through the News media, pop culture, television, theater, movies etc.)

We need to start a campaign telling the truth about same sex marriage and homosexual behavior, and how it will lead to the perverted sexualization of children, the breakdown of the traditional family, the erosion of civil society as a sexed up society isn’t civil, easier government control over our lives as immoral people are easier to be controlled, and how same sex marriage will discriminate against religious institutions and individuals and force them to accept this sex act or be fired/lose their tax exempt status/be forced to close down/etc.

But the important thing is that we have to be ACTIVE on this. So many Churches and Synagogues are silent on this issue. They give evasive reasons ranging from “it isn’t our fight” to “we need to stop global warming”. (I mean come on. Global warming? Putting aside that its a red herring to force a tax on all of us, religion has a law against homosexuality and has no mention of climate change. The same sex marriage issue seems more up our alley).

While the patriots are fighting against Barack Hussein Obama’s Marxist Health “Care” package, the social conservatives need to run ads and start actually PREACHING for a change about homosexual marriage.
