I never understand some things:
1. When did it become cool to be gay?
2. How did homosexuals get so.much power?
3. When did liberals decide to embrace homosexual marriage and why? If you go back and check the vote on the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, you will see that many liberals were willing to say that marriage was a man and a woman. Believing that was mainstream and non controversial then. Now that belief gets you tarred and feathered.
4. Why do the criteria for the legal views change? In 2013 the Supreme Court ruled that marriage was to be defined by the states. So the federal government had to recognize homosexual marriage from states which allowed it. But now in 2015, the criteria are now reversed, and now each state must allow homosexual marriage because now marriage is defined st the federal level not the state level. States no longer are allowed to define marriage. Why did the criteria change and what is the legal justification.??? Was this contradiction addressed in the recent court case, or do liberals really not care about legal procedures and legal justification or consistency in legal reasoning???
At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full "appreciation" or "understanding" of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won. And to get to shoulder-shrug stage, gays as a class must cease to appear mysterious, alien, loathsome and contrary. A large-scale media campaign will be required in order to change the image of gays in America.
Romans 1:21-28English Standard Version (ESV)
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
I’m against this ruling, the problem is you can’t have 50 states with 50 different sets of laws. That is were it became a Federal issue I believe.
Do I accept it NO! it’s against my CHRISTIAN beliefs.
Civil unions would have worked. We have enough laws on the books in the states to ensure ‘they’ have all the same rights to cover inheritance, joint ownership, hospital visits, Power Of Attorney’s, Wills etc that gives them just as much protection as a heterosexual marriage does.
Look on the 1 good side they are now subject to state DIVORCE LAWS, and at the rate they change partners it will get very costly.
