I’ve never understood the appeal of all this gay crap. I watched a slideshow of same-sex “marriages” in Washington after it became legal, and it was all I could do to refrain from throwing up.
I’d sensed several times before that Beck was pretty close to embracing fag marriage, when the topic arose. So it doesn’t entirely surprise me that he’s come out in favor of this degeneracy.
I’ve long been on the fence about Beck, who has always been a weird mix of positives and negatives. But this is enough for me to pretty much drop him for keeps. He can just go to Hell.
Why stop there, Glenn?
Why not support two men and a women?
Five women together?
3 Men and 3 women all married to each other?
A 30 year old and a 10 year old?
Two babies?
A man married to two different women in different parts of the country at the same time?
What would be the legal or moral opposition to those?
Because they are too “weird” but two guys or two girls being married is “normal”?
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
I would have thought that Glenn can see that the ongoing battle is NOT about letting gays do whatever they wish (that's legal,) but the insistence on calling it "marriage."
The gays, and their supporters, including legislators can call it "Nirvana," and imbue it with all the legal benefits of marriage, without the need to mock hundreds of years of tradition and legally insisting that is IS marriage.
Call me anything you wish, but I will never accept marriage as anything other than the union of one man and one woman ------ period.
I recall Rush once pulling a big “liberals are right, I’ve changed my mind” stunt long ago. It was a stunt. I hope this is too.
From out of the closet into your classrooms. So much for “consenting ADULTS in PRIVATE”.
The culture is f***ed. These are the same perverts who push the Sex Positive Agenda (the homosexual agenda merely being the battering ram to society’s norms). Condoms in schools was not about ending teen pregnancy or disease (certainly didn’t work). It was about forever ending the argument over whether teen SHOULD be engaging and sex and shifting to WHEN.
Bang away on the foundation institutions of this country, Glenn.
And keep selling packrat supplies. You have little credibility this country with your morning drive time comedy schtick.
Plus, that horrid phrase, “expand our own horizon.” Yeah, by embracing perversion? Beck has really, really jumped the shark here. He can side with the deviants all he wants, but I’m dropped him like a rock. Don’t have any interest in anything he has to say from here on out.
Wheat and tares being separated at breakneck speed...I’m beginning to believe that a goodly portion of the 90 million eligible voters that sit home are disenfranchised Christians and conservatives...the ‘lukewarm’ are headed right for the gates of hell...
Beck is a wolf in sheep’s clothing imo. He’s an Obama guard dog like his former employer Fx News is.
Glen,
The culture will change for the worse when you endorse the unnatural. By doing so, you promote humanity being its own god. This gravely endangers our children and grandchildren.
You’re just wrong.
"Gay": a term that is a euphemism for homosexual. "Marriage": unless redefined, assumes that the partners participating in this union or sacrament are not members of the same sex. "Gay marriage" does not compute (GIGO).
Beck’s (libertarian) slip is showing. Not that it is a bad thing.
So the gay marriage supporters want to expand the definition. BAD IDEA! God addresses what marriage is and how to honor the marriage.
Man takes on rights that are NOT for him to alter. God has defined it already. Are we barbarians or totally secular peoples? God forbid!
Of course that has not stopped them before as ABORTION demonstrates.
Pray about it. Ask God to make it clear to all peoples, in Jesus name, amen.
For generations, we have given the State the power to create artificial persons, in the form of corporations, foundations, trusts and the like. Nobody is confused by this government-defined fiction. We know that a corporation is not a real human person. Where the left has a problem is where the Supreme Court has ruled, in Citizens United, that such “persons” have the right of free speech.
Another government-defined fiction that we have allowed for generations is that the State can also define “marriage” and who is “married” and who is not. But marriage predates any State because it is God who defines and defends marriage, not the State. Indeed, any “marriage” a State defines is just as much as legal fiction as when it tells us that a corporation is a “person” that has freedom of speech.
The State attempts to force us to recognize its power. One way is to presume the power to define who is married and who is not. We cede this power in part because we allow the State to tax incomes and estates. To administer such taxing power, the State must define who it considers to be “married” and who is not. Just as when it defines a corporation to be a “person”, as silly as this would be to God, the State does not hesitate to define anyone it pleases as being “married”, totally apart from how God would define them.
Jesus, who was recognized as a prophet by all three monotheistic religions, is quoted in Matthew chapter 19 that from the beginning of humanity, it was God’s intent that marriage would only be one man and one woman. Scripture in many ways and places also tells us that God defines sexual morality and that people who refuse to practice that His morality simply do not qualify for His freely given gift of eternal life. (for example, see Ephesians chapter 5). Of course, people are free to believe whatever they want, but that does not change what God clearly said to us.
If you review the arguments advanced by supporters of same-sex marriage (like at HRC.ORG), you will find that many of them are related to taxation, inheritance and medical issues. But existing law addresses those and any defects in the law can be easily repaired apart from the issue of “marriage”.
I don’t want a government that can tell me what I may or may not do in the privacy of my own home or relationships. In a secular Constitutional Republic with a provision that prohibits Congress from making any law respecting religion, I have to allow others to have their own beliefs and morality. I can only be an advocate for the morality and beliefs that I think are true. I take my understanding of sexual morality from Scripture and that is where I learn that God considers sodomy to be an abomination to Him.
If a State decides that two (or more) people can marry, if that is all that happened, I could live with that because I don’t have to approve, change my beliefs or what beliefs I pass on to my children.
However, once gays and their supporters have sufficient influence with a State to redefine marriage, they don’t stop there. They use the State to forbid me from acting on my morality and beliefs. In fact, the State in some cases forces me to accommodation in their practices.
If I have children in public school, the State will insist on teaching them that gay marriage is just as normal as the God’s marriage. You will be sanctioned as a parent if you attempt to remove your child from such indoctrination.
If you run a business that could provide services to the public, you will be sanctioned if you decline to treat gays as non-gays. For example, if you run a wedding photography business, you will be sanctioned if you decline to photograph a gay wedding. This has already happened in California and New Mexico [1].
You may lose control of your own property. [2]
In short, gays will demand that non-gays accept them as moral equals, which they are not and cannot be. When the State says they are equal it is forbidden for a private citizen to dissent from that status. In doing so, they seek to force me to give them approval for something that I will never approve of. It is that last point that galls gays the most.
Curiously, when advocates of gay marriage are asked if their policy also would allow polygamy or polyandry, they recoil in horror and insist that it does not. However, logic demands that it does. I would ask how same-sex parents are going to react in the future when, for example, Utah public schools officials require that teachers instruct the children that LDS-related polygamy is just as “normal” as same-sex “marriage”. The fact that this will be an issue will show yet again that gay “marriage” is not about marriage at all it is about forcing the rest of us to approve of repugnant sexual immorality, something that LDS polygamists never demanded.

The libertarians support the liberals! I’m shocked!
Mighty nice of Glen. I wonder if he’ll be so understanding when I marry my four granddaughters right before I kick off so they can all collect a spousal social security check.
A nice MORMON boy like GLENN BECK thinks HOMO sin is FINE??
Who knew!
