It strikes to the very heart of the ultimate reason for having government.....defense against enemies both foreign and domestic.
Homosexuality is unnatural behavior. Homosexual "licensure" (marriage?) is unnatural marriage and unnatural community endorsement.
Is it unnatural because I don't like it?
Nope. It's is dangerous and/or death promoting behavior, and that is what has identified it as unnatural, against nature. And it has been disapproved in the vast number of societies in human history. Those which did not disapprove then became test cases proving the vast majority correct in their assessments.
The following is an article that appeared today on CNN. It is intended to be a diatribe against the Neanderthals who would think of banning HIV+ tourist/immigrants. Interestingly, Australia and New Zealand are on that list (and the US was until recently). Also, there are many middle eastern countries.
Interestingly, when cross-referenced with nations rate of HIV, those nations banning immigrant/visitor HIV+ are among the lowest in the world or on their continent.
Currently, 45 countries have laws or policies in place that deport, detain or deny entry to people who are HIV positive, according to UNAIDS, the United Nation's program on HIV/AIDS. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.Five countries in the Middle East bar people living with HIV from entering. Another five, including Singapore, Egypt and the Turks and Caicos, require that people who want to stay in their countries for longer than five days have to show they do not have HIV.
Until recently, the U.S. too had regulations that barred HIV-infected foreign nationals from receiving a visa to enter the country. President Obama lifted them in January 2010.
The American restrictions were introduced in 1987, when Congress directed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to add HIV to its list of diseases of public health significance. Foreign nationals were tested for the immunodeficiency virus during medical screening by U.S. immigration. http://money.cnn.com/2012/12/11/news/companies/ceos-hiv-travel-restrictions-ceos/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_business
The bottom line is "The Unnatural Kills". The Unnatural should be disapproved.
There is absolutely NOTHING big government about defense.

Again you miss the point entirely.
Here is the point.
We shouldn’t want the government involved in any of this, not traditional marriage, not any kind of marriage.
That is the point, when you look to the government for an answer or a solution then you “might” get some short-term relief (of course it will be a compromise to start with because that is politics - no one is happy) but ultimately it always back-fires as we push for the government to make a stand on traditional marriage and we think we have won and then down the road - the very thing we did to get a stand on traditional marriage is used against us to destroy it.
They literally do this every single time.
The ONLY answer to save this Republic is to get government OUT of our private lives. That means everything. Get out of our health-care, get out of my God given rights, etc...
But to have freedom and liberty means we need to tolerate things we don’t like or care for or even don’t believe. That is where God comes in, those people that choose the wrong path will have their reckoning and we really need to leave it to God because it will NEVER work for us having the government shoving this crap down our throats.
You want to see where ALL of this is going, take some time and research the UN Agenda 21 and then go to your local town meetings, planning and zoning and you will see Agenda 21 being implemented right NOW in your neighborhood.
