Even knowing that there are radicals in all movements, doesnt lessen the startling admission recently by lesbian journalist Masha Gessen. On a radio show she actually admits that homosexual activists are lying about their radical political agenda. She says that they dont want to access the institution of marriage; they want to radically redefine and eventually eliminate it.
Here is what she recently said on a radio interview:
Its a no-brainer that (homosexual activists) should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that its a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. (F)ighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie.
"The institution of marriage is going to change, and it should change. And again, I dont think it should exist. And I dont like taking part in creating fictions about my life. Thats sort of not what I had in mind when I came out thirty years ago.
"I have three kids who have five parents, more or less, and I dont see why they shouldnt have five parents legally I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that babys biological father is my brother, and my daughters biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality, and I dont think thats compatible with the institution of marriage.
For quite some time, the defenders of natural marriage have attempted to point out that the true agenda behind the homosexual demands organizations is not marriage equality; it is the total unraveling of marriage and uprooting traditional values from society. (This will ultimately include efforts to silence and punish some churches that openly adhere to their religious teachings about marriage and sexual morality.)
While few have been as vocal as this lesbian activist was in this interview, we do have numerical examples proving her point. When given the opportunity to marry, after laws have been struck down relatively small percentages of homosexuals actually bother to marry compared to their heterosexual counterparts. This raises question about the true need to unravel marriage for the fair extension its benefits. Only 12 percent of homosexuals in the Netherlands marry compared to 86 percent of their heterosexual peers. Less than 20 percent of same-sex couples already living together in California married when given the chance in 2008. In contrast, 91 percent of heterosexual couples in California who are living together are married.
Clearly this is about cultural change and tearing down the traditional family ethic, since it seems that most homosexuals living together neither need nor desire to marry, though they do desire to radically change marriage.
Gays and lesbians are free to live as they choose, and we live in a society which roundly applauds them doing so like never before in our history, but they do not have the right to rewrite marriage for all of society.
You take out the nature of human reproduction, the length of human pregnancy, the length of human infancy & childhood and the incentive from all that for the human family unit and it is hard to imagine that marriage would have been established, and equally hard to imagine marriage as intended for anything else.
The fact that heterosexual couples may marry with no intention of having children or that they may marry knowing they cannot have children changes nothing about why humans established marriage or what marriage is essentially about in spite of the exceptions we recognize.
No we see from this “gay” activist why, after civil partnership laws were successfully established, and established providing a lot of equality under the law with married couples, they proved insufficient to the activists cause.
as a Libertarian on taxes, I understand that same-sex marriage is unneccessary for resolving tax equality with married couples when it comes to all death taxes
the best solution is that all death taxes should not exist, but barring that event if there are exemptions then the estate should be able to select who among the estate’s beneficiaries will benefit from them
the result of that would be that the estate of most married persons will name the remaining spouse and/or surviving children as rightful claimants to all, or a share, of any death tax exemptions, while everyone else will designate whomever they see fit
this will not result in any dimunition of estate tax exemptions to married couples and their families, but it will expand the same exemptions to others
and demonstrates that “same-sex” marriage is unnecessary for providing an equal share of estate tax exemptions to everyone
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.

"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left. Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."

it's not about the kids with this person, it's the agenda. The kids are just props..
I agree with you. That is the way it should be. But the push will be to get "gay" as a protected class, such as race, color, age, etc. The logic used to get there will make any pretzel proud. I do not underestimate the progressives. At the rate they are going, they will succeed.
Too sadly true.
The destruction of heterosexual marriage is well underway.
& destroy the family, as well:
“children of homosexual fathers are nearly 3 times as likely, and children of lesbian mothers are nearly 4 times as likely, to identify as something other than entirely heterosexual.
Children of lesbian mothers are 75% more likely, and children of homosexual fathers are 3 times more likely, to be currently in a same-sex romantic relationship.”
