Same-Sex Marriage
Facts,
Consequences, and Resources
"There is no such thing as 'a homosexual.' Homosexuality is not what you are. It's what you do." Stephen Bennett
Will this be the lifestyle and American way of life for our descendents in America?
What the mainstream media doesn't report: The increase in children being born out of wedlock in Scandinavia since marriage was redefined! William Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition, warns of the dangers of legalizing same-sex marriage in the United States. He says Scandinavia has had nearly a decade of legal homosexual marriage, and it has nearly destroyed the institution of marriage altogether. More details: http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/132004c.asp (Excerpts: ...In Scandinavia, illegitimate birth rates exceed 50 percent. The majority of Swedish and Norwegian children are born out of wedlock, and 60 percent of first-born children in Denmark have unmarried parents. Meanwhile, marriage rates subtly decline while, in some countries, divorce rates have skyrocketed to nearly 80 percent. ...Still, as Kurtz noted, such studies have been done. He says they showed that "throughout Scandinavia (and the West) cohabiting couples with children break up at two to three times the rate of married parents. So rising rates of cohabitation and out-of-wedlock birth stand as proxy for rising rates of family dissolution.")
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made." Groucho Marx
Homosexual activist
Kevin Jennings,
director of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) describing
how immorality got a foothold in the Massachusetts schools by using "safety" as
an issue." "We immediately seized
upon the opponent's calling card -- safety -- and explained how homophobia
represents a threats to students' safety by creating a climate where violence,
name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common. Tilting our report,
'Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our
opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack.
This....short-circuited their arguments and left them back-peddling from day
one."
Many are being duped, many more just don't care or are too busy to take notice of what kind of "civilization" this generation is leaving for our descendents. Is Satan using those who assault Judeo-Christian faiths to undermine the natural marriage and family? Is this Satan's final assault and the reason for high divorce rates and the support of same-sex marriage by "those with reprobate minds?" Is it the evil one's last gasp attempt to destroy the very fabric and foundation of how "civil" societies are based? Will the chaos being experienced by children in Scandinavia (see below) permeate throughout the world because Christians are unable to judge without hypocrisy and thus have relinquished their call to be the salt and light of the world? Do you know how important marriage is to God, which is why He uses marriage as an analogy for Christ and the Church, in becoming as one? Is marriage between one man and one woman and the natural family being the very core of civilizations the reason Satan has targeted marriage, using those whose mind he has blinded to the Gospel of Christ? (2 Corinthians 4)
Among those who have been duped include the mainstream media, secular liberal politicians (even those who may claim to be Christian), public school administrators, most college professors, and most disturbingly judges. These are those who have bought into the misguided ploy that the new redefined "politically correct" definitions of words like discrimination, tolerance, diversity, hate, fear, and bigotry to falsely target the Judeo-Christian faith as being hateful. These are those whom the Scriptures refer to as having a reprobate mind and used hidden things of dishonesty, walking in craftiness, and handling the word of God deceitfully have fooled many under the guise of "rights, safety, and bullying" Yet many considered wise in this world have succumbed lock stock and barrel and are now promoting that which is evil.
CNSNews.com report "Same-Sex Marriage Debate Moves Into Schools" shows that homosexual-rights activists are invading our public schools to secure gullible disciples of their dangerous social agenda. The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has printed a "curriculum guide" for public school teachers that presents a six-point lesson plan that is designed to convince students that homosexual relationships are the equivalent of traditional man-woman relationships (http://www.glsen.org/cgi-bin/iowa/all/library/record/1411.html ). "The lesson plans range from discussing the 'historical parallels' of same-sex marriage to providing students with the chance to read books about homosexual relations and then consider what it would be like to be in a same-sex wedding," CNSNews reported. Sandi Martinez, the Massachusetts state director of Concerned Women for America., told CNSNews, "Quite often parents aren't allowed to even know what's going on."
The
deception to get access to "the impressionable children." Culture and
Family Institute analyst Pete LaBarbera was among those who addressed the
conferees attending the Concerned
Women for America's national convention in Washington recently. He told the
gathering's supporters that homosexual activists are getting "nastier."
LaBarbera expressed that he has seen Kevin Jennings, the leader of the
Gay, Lesbian Straight Education Network, use a "very bad four-letter word" -- in
a church no less, that LaBarbera notes was formerly Norman Vincent Peale's
church in New York City. LaBarbera said Jennings used that four-letter word to
describe his attitude toward "hard-core bigots" -- which, LaBarbera says, "is
people like us." LaBarbera told conferees that homosexual activists are giving
up efforts to convert Christians to their side, and instead will concentrate on
the moderates in society and "the impressionable children."

Reading,
Writing and ? Homosexuality?
by Doug Giles (2/21/2004) Gone are the Norman Rockwell days of sending young
Scooter off to school with his satchel slung over his shoulder, PBJ sandwich in
his Superman lunch box and a wide-eyed expectancy of learning, the kind that
makes individuals and nations great.... And
now I’m an officially ticked off father, as just the other day without warning
and without notice both my daughters were exposed to “It’s Okay to Be Gay”
propaganda presented by high school students to their classmates, including my
daughters, with the approval of their high school and middle school teachers....
Teachers and kids can’t talk about Jesus Christ, Moses or Biblical ethics -- at
least not in a positive, plausible sense -- in the classroom. But it’s just
fine to talk about Timmy and Tommy, the Testicle Twins? About Daddy’s male
roommate? About anal sex and oral sex between teenagers of the same sex? What
in the world is going on? Parents, the innocence you work your butts off trying
to provide your kids is being eroded, undermined or at the very least
under-valued within the NEW public school systems. (See
the complete article.)
And then there's the ACLU.....
Violating "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." The second paragraph continues: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...." Opening paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, America's Founding Document
Can a moral wrong be a "civil" right? Secular liberal progressives have implied that what is written in the opening paragraph of the Declaration of Independence no longer applies to today's society, indicating that "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," which set up the boundary for how "Rights" are to be "entitled" is now outdated. So what is the "new and improved" basis in determining how "Rights" are "entitled?" What new wisdom is being employed? Have lawmakers overruled the founder's Biblical worldview of moral virtue and replaced it with a liberal secular progressive worldview whereby the "Laws of Nature" no longer apply?
"A compromise which results in a half-step toward evil is all wrong." Theodore Roosevelt

THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TITLE 1--GENERAL PROVISIONS
CHAPTER 1--RULES OF CONSTRUCTION Sec. 7.
Definition of ``marriage'' and ``spouse''
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling,
regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies
of the United States, the word ``marriage''
means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and
wife, and the word ``spouse'' refers
only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife. (Added
Pub. L. 104-199, Sec. 3(a), Sept. 21, 1996, 110 Stat. 2419.)
A Bill Sponsored by Homosexual Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, who once ran a homosexual prostitution ring out of his home, will amend Title 1 of the United States Code, to eliminate any Federal policy on the definition of marriage. Another Bill will also amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act giving "Special Rights" to homosexuals, by forcing every organization is America, Churches, Day Care Centers, Nursing Homes, Schools, etc. to hire gays and lesbians as teachers, coaches, doctors, etc.
Herbert Hoover - "When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned. There is no such thing as a no-man's land between honesty and dishonesty. Our strength lies in spiritual concepts. It lies in public sensitiveness to evil. Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil, or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior."

Also, the following is the full quotation by "gay" writer Jack Hart, available
on the Culture & Family Institute's website at
http://www.cwfa.org/articles/3962/CFI/cfreport/:
QUOTE: Sodomy: Efficient Disease Transmitter
[Warning: upsetting material]
The following excerpt comes not from Rev. Jerry Falwell or the "religious
right," but a homosexual writer, Jack Hart:
"Many sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) occur more often among gay men than
in the general population. Several factors contribute to this difference: Gay
men have the opportunity to engage in sex with more people than do most
heterosexual men, and some practices common in the gay community -- especially
rimming ["gay" slang for oral-anal stimulation] and anal intercourse [sodomy] --
are highly efficient ways of transmitting disease…."-- Jack Hart, author, Gay
Sex: A Manual for Men Who Love Men (Allyson Publications: Boston, 1991), p. 156,
in section on "Sexually Transmitted Disease." The writer goes on to write that
"the increasing acceptance of safer sex" has lessened the spread of STD's, and
then discusses the "most common" sex-transmitted diseases other than HIV
confronting homosexual men, including: chlamydia, crab lice, giardiasis,
gonorrhea, hepatitis-A and -B, herpes simplex, nongonococcal urethritis,
scabies, syphilis, and venereal warts.
