Apparently it's not really about freedom, after all. As over one million voters in California signed on to a petition to put a Constitutional amendment on the November ballot, members of the homosexual community are petitioning the high court in that state to ban the vote. It seems that the gay community in California doesn't believe the people of California have a right to petition their government and vote to have their voices heard.
As much as they'd like for us to believe that this is all about freedom, privacy and civil rights, they have no problem stripping the general public of their freedom, forcing their "private" matter into the public spotlight and denying the most basic of rights, the right to define society. Therefore, they head to a liberal court to have their view forced on the people of California, who have already passed a law that their desire is to define marriage as one man and one woman.
They rest everything on one argument; civil rights. Often times we hear them compare their "struggle" to that of African-Americans. Blacks in our nation fought so hard and so long to gain the equal rights they are due, now the gay community has no problem trampling the significance of that battle. They belittle the black community in our nation and thumb their noses at society in general in doing so.
Their primary keyword is love. It's all about love. Government should discriminate on the basis of love. They should have the same rights as others to love who they want. Love, love, love. It's obvious, they have no idea what real love is and are trying to pervert its true meaning.
I would never doubt or question someone's love for another. Love is the most powerful emotion known to man. It is also our most important. It drives us to do things for others that we might otherwise not be willing to do. It draws us together and propagates the species. We should love others, regardless of their physical attributes, gender, race, etc.
That doesn't mean we marry everyone we love. I love my pastor at church. I would do anything for him. He is a very close, personal friend. I feel very close to him. That in no way means that I'm thinking of marrying or sleeping with him.
This issue is all about sex for homosexuals. They want to have sex with who they want and they don't want anyone telling them it's wrong or sinful. They want the state to sanction it, put its blessing on it, so no one can say anything. That's all this is about.
I'm not even buying that it's about hospital visitation or property rights. Those are things that can be taken care of with wills, living wills and other legal documents. Almost anything we have been led to believe they are interested in can be handled with a legal document without having to force gay marriage on a society that deems that perverted.
So, on this sacred weekend when we celebrate the brave steps our Founding Fathers took to secure us the freedom to govern ourselves and decide on the kind of society we will be, remember that there is an element of our society that wants to suppress our rights and our voice. The fight is not over.
BTW, Sen. Obama, who once stated that he felt each state should be able to decide on their own whether they want to allow gay marriage or not, has stated that he is opposed the the California amendment that would ban it. In other words, he's decided that Californians shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to allow gay marriage after the court has made its decision. So, I guess what he means is that each state Supreme Court should decide whether they want to allow gay marriage.
