George Orwell said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” When you tell the truth about homosexuality today, you can be sure that the central tools of deceit—name-calling and bullying—will be unleashed.
I recently was having a respectful conversation with a homosexual activist, but after I made a point he couldn’t answer he called me a “bigot.”
I asked, “What’s your definition of bigotry?”
He said, “Fear and intolerance.”
I said, “The definition of bigotry is not ‘fear and intolerance.’ It’s making a judgment without knowing the facts. I have written a book about the problems with same-sex marriage and the destructive medical consequences of homosexual behavior. So my convictions on those issues are based in fact not ‘bigotry.’ With all due respect, if anyone is engaged in bigotry it is you for judging my position as wrong without even knowing why I hold it.”
He was also falsely equating my opposition to a behavior as prejudice toward people who engage in that behavior. That’s the central fallacy in virtually every argument for homosexuality—if you don’t agree with homosexual behavior, you are somehow bigoted against people who want to engage in that behavior. How does that follow? If conservatives and Christians are “bigots” for opposing homosexual behavior, then why aren’t homosexual activists bigots for opposing Christian behavior? And if we are bigots for opposing same-sex marriage, then why aren’t homosexual activists bigots for opposing polygamous or incestuous marriage?
Everyone puts limits on marriage—if marriage had no definition it wouldn’t be anything. Recognizing that marriage is between a man and a woman is not bigotry, but common sense rooted in the biological facts of nature.

It’s also a sacrament. Whatever happened to the liberals holy grail...separation between church and state? How do you force churches and states individually to recognize something established by a federal, centrally located source?
This is just one example of how intolerant the left can be.
What could derail the gay triumphal procession is an honest national discussion of the REAL cause of homosexuality.
Homosexuality is spread by molestation. Vampire fashion. Nothing genetic about it at all. Any gay or lesbian who’s being honest will admit that they were violated when they were children.
Bring THAT fact out of the “closet” and you blow up the central premise of the gay normalization campaign, i.e. that some people are just “born that way” so they and their proclivities should be accepted and celebrated. And if they’re not part of nature’s plan, then politically and philosophically we are not obligated to indulge them.
This also goes a long way towards explaining the inconvenient truth that so many gays are such messed up people; bubbling over with rage at society, sexual compulsives, affinity for young boys, etc. I wish I could find the study that caused so much shouting recently. The one about the shockingly short average lifespan of gays, when you factor in the suicides, deaths by partner violence, drugs, booze and of course, disease.
Personally, let them hate all they want. It only makes them more miserable. Nothing these thugs say really affects me. Let em watch MSNBC and leave us alone!
The study, entitled “Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS”, has been published in Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697).
In an interview with lifesitenews.com, Dr. Paul Cameron, the President of the Family Research Institute and the scientist who headed the study, indicated that he was not at all surprised by the findings. Rather he said that it only served as further confirmation for what had long been known and other studies have already shown.
One such study was conducted in Vancouver British Columbia and published in 1997 in the International Journal of Epidemiology (Vol. 26, 657-61: http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/26/3/657). It almost exactly mirrors the findings of Cameron’s research.
Yeah, but that report only tracks AIDS obituaries. All the gays who commit suicide or drink and drug themselves to death when very young and those runaways and throwaways who die under bridges don’t make the obits. Not to mention those who die ooky deaths like autoerotic asphyxiation or having their heads beaten in by their life partners and so on.
Only the beautiful, successful gays are the ones you hear about.
All the gays who commit suicide or drink and drug themselves to death when very young and those runaways and throwaways who die under bridges don’t make the obits.”
Pretty tough to track scientifically; we know they are there, but not many people list gay as cause of death.
Nice, but they have NO intention of “leaving us alone”. Live and let live ain’t in their vocabulary.
They’re just going to keep making histrionic demands and pushing us around until either they get pushed back hard or they learn to overcome their inchoate rage against the world and themselves. Don’t get me wrong, gays and lesbos are not all crazed, vengeful hatemongers, we’ve all known at least a few. It’s just that, like the various racial and ethnic minority groups, it’s the angry domineering types who shoulder their way to the head of the movement.
Sodomites have a public face and a private face - a face generally reserved for others in the “lifestyle” and that expresses who they really are. They are almost all crazed and hateful with interludes of sanity.
sacrament is merely incidental to the law.
marriage is an institution of society.
Society rewards the institution not the individual.
the left uses religion to argue the ONLY prevention to homosexual based marriage is mere religion. This is a trap.
“marriage is an institution of society.”
Bullshit.
Marriage is a religious ceremony. The law intruded into it so it could impose fines and levy taxes. The fact that happened doesn’t make it any more right than taking my money and using it to kill babies. It has become what it has become through the constant usurpation of our rights to worship as we see fit. We established this country on freedom of religion. The statists want to make it freedom from religion. Marriage is a religious ceremony. Screw what the left does, or what the “trap” is. You can’t change fact. Marriage is not “an institution of society” no matter how much you might prefer it that way. It is a religious ceremony. Period.
Calls to mind the old riddle: If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one.
Similarly, calling a same-sex partnership a "marriage" ....
“Similarly, calling a same-sex partnership a “marriage” ....”
Or like calling an abortion clinic “planned parenthood.”
Ain’t no parenting being planned in those death chambers.
there is no religion test for marraige.
there is no love test for marriage.
society only rewards the behaviors that promote the institution and by extension the future of society.
we USED to have wide spread common law marriage which was by mere public presentation and cohabitation. That has gone away and at present only 8 states even have some semblance of it.
It is a matter of statutory construction. You want to have the common law which predates written law giving the broadest protection as to what marriage should be. One man one woman. You do not want the narrow statutory construction to take constrol because it means the government will define what is or is not marriage and what is or is not part of marriage. Remember the ABA is pushing that children are NOT legal parts of marriage and are just “accessories” to marriage. (this is to allow a door for homosexuals since it is physically impossible to produce children without a member of the opposit sex and/or medical intervention)
If there was a religion test then mixed marriages could not happen. Atheists would not be allowed to marry.
It may upset the religious purists but that is the way it has been for several millenia.
Thanks ReformationFan.
Good point. My niece must be miserable because she never smiles. Others joke about it and she goes along with the joke but she never smiles. I couldn't imagine going an hour w/o smiling and laughing -- but that's the type of guy I am. I suppose I should pity her but it's hard to pity someone who is so full of hate. Truthfully, I just ignore her.
“Atheists would not be allowed to marry.”
Wow. Who are you? Atheists can be married, you twit.
Peddle your nuts somewhere else...cripes, not allowed to get married...cripes. Allowed by who, the STATE? You don’t even hear yourself do you? Slave.
It’s not just your niece. I find than many if not all leftists in general have this attitude that they are so morally superior because of their belief in “equality”, e.g., state enforced equality of result a.k.a. socialism. Hence, they are “morally right” in their eyes to try to economically destroy and control anyone who disagrees with them on any topic. A female former co-worker of mine had a hyper left wing daughter(she had voted for Ralph Nader) who forbade her mother from ordering pizza from Domino’s because they financially supported pro-life causes. I found it ironic that the daughter wanted her own mother to have the right to kill her but don’t look for any semblance of logic among the brainwashed left.
