Homosexual marriage is not a civil right issue

Ladyblog said: "When and why did the gay rights activists and their defenders decide that it was logical, valid, wise, effective, or constitutionally defensible to compare the social and civil ambitions of the gay community to the past sufferings and civil rights battles of the black man in America?"

"How do selected instances of social ostracism, job discrimination, and the restrictions of our marriage laws rise to the level of mass ethnic subjugation? When were the gays or their ancestors forcibly removed from their ancestral homes, enslaved, beaten, starved, sold, and then – once freed – discriminated against and segregated?"

"I do not see how the social difficulties of the gay man or woman come close to matching the history of slavery and racial discrimination. Gay men and women have never lived with anything like the “No Coloreds Allowed” lunch counters and water fountains, or segregated schools and communities of America’s past."

Maine Bishop Richard Malone wrote to all Maine Catholics this week: "To redefine marriage to include same-sex couples is to strip marriage of an essential component, namely the ability and obligation to procreate," the bishop said in the letter, read in all Maine diocese on Sunday. "To strip marriage of this essential component is to render marriage meaningless and open it up to endless revision and redefinition."

"If people believe the gay marriage cause has legitimacy, then by all means they should argue their case – but let’s agree that we can and should discuss rights issues without erroneously comparing the suffering of one group to the suffering of another."

Good words.

Now, this is what I call a soldier!

An elderly lady stands firm at a mob scene where those in favor of homosexual marriage surround her, threaten her, beat their hands in the air, and rip the cross from her hands and stomp on it. Her response? Stay put, pray, and says she loves them. And they say Christians opposing homosexuality are haters? Get a grip. What is most amazing about this video is the idiotic summation of what happened by KPSP TV anchorman, Kris Long. We have truly lost our minds.

Would you have the courage of your convictions enough to remain calm in the throes of an angry mob? Food for thought.
