CA Anti-Prop 8 Effort Getting Ever More Heated

Posted By: 'Okie' | 10:52 am — 11/24/2008 | Comments Off See comments below:

I supported the California initiative Proposition 8 and even worked on videos for the ProtectMarriage.com effort. My YouTube profile is now constantly under attack by LGBT hate-mongers, although their profane comments roll off my back like water off a duck’s — I’ve read deeply into my Richard Marcinko and I could out-cuss the little suckers with nary an effort! What is most distressing are the efforts on the part of the LGBT community to attack the Mormon Church. These attacks are now the tip of the spear in their zeal to organize that community all over the country to complete the destruction the traditional meaning of marriage all across the land. John at Article 6 Blog comments on a NY Times letter-to-the-editor about this:

Now for starters, let us consider that running a campaign and winning a vote is BY DEFINITION “civil” whilst riots, vandalism, forcing people out of jobs, and threats of physical harm, are all, likewise BY DEFINITION NOT CIVIL! If we accept for the sake of argument that this is a civil rights issue (which I DO NOT – how can something that we issue a license for be a right?) these people forget the essential lesson of Martin Luther King’s non-violent civil disobedience campaign. It was in the non-threatening, non-destructive nature of the King lead protests, and the violent ugly response of the governmental and non-governmental oppressors, that the nation learned the lesson of the wrong of segregation. All we are learning from the activities of the so-called LGBT community after Prop 8 is that they are a bunch of self-involved, petulant, violent miscreants more obsessed with their own desire than the simple peace of the community.

I’ve said it here before and will do so again. I don’t wish harm, or even second-class citizen status for those attracted to same sex relationships. If they are willing to make legal-long-term commitments to each other they should have the same legal rights as opposite sex couples. However, the traditional meaning of the word “marriage” does not have to be abrogated/hijacked in this regard. Marriage has traditional and religious connotations. To apply that term to same-sex unions makes the term “marriage” meaningless — which is what I think the more radical of the LGBT activists have in mind. It’s just another attack by the secular humanists to bring down the Judeo-Christian basis of our culture and our laws.

Ask a LGBT protester that if society granted ALL the rights and benefits of opposite-sex marriage to same-sex unions but under a different name, such as “domestic partner” or “civil union” would that get them to stop pushing for “gay marriage”? The answer is no, Hell NO!

Not satisfied with being tolerated, this group wants acceptance — total acceptance by any and all. In fact, they want their lifestyles depicted in the light of being as much of an ideal for society as opposite sex unions — to do anything less would violate their “civil rights”. Well, since there’s no scientific evidence that shows sexual preference as being hard-wired into ourselves, to call one’s sexuality a civil right is an insult to the Civil Rights Movement.

There’s a gauntlet being thrown down here by both sides.

Just another battlefront in the ever-ongoing Culture Wars.
