I was not in a “gay” mood when I read the editor’s take on homosexual marriage.
Contrary to public opinion, President Obama has not evolved but rather
devolved on the issue of “gay marriage”, forced into the position because of
his overly glib and gaffe-prone vice president.
How many accounts must we revisit in history to realize that homosexual
conduct is not conducive to the well-being of the individual, the family, or
the nation? Polybius the ancient historian documented how the Greek city states
endured steady declines in population, family, and law and order following the
break-down of moral relations between one man and one woman. Psychological
reports have determined that individuals who engage in the same-sex lifestyle
diminish their lifespan by at least 20%, even when controlling for disease or
other unnatural phenomena. Any doctor not in bondage to the PC lobby can attest
that homosexual contact harms an individual.
Selfish identity politics pervasive in our country have turned a privileged
institution into a right, which it was never meant to be. Marriages fail not
because of the institution, but due to failures of one male and one female to
die to themselves and become one flesh.
Marriage by definition, by tradition, by revelation is a union of one man
and one woman. Even if every state in the Union defines two men as “married,”
the definition of marriage does not change, no more than calling a dog’s tail a
“leg” means that the dog now has five legs.
