The time has come to reframe the narrow terms of the marriage debate in the United States.That sentence was not written by a Christian organization, trying to impose their right-wing views. No, it is the first sentence of the executive summary of Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision For All Our Families and Relationships.
...We must respond to the full scope of the conservative marriage agenda by building alliances across issues and constituencies. Our strategies must be visionary, creative, and practical to counter the right's powerful and effective use of marriage as a “wedge” issue that pits one group against another. The struggle for marriage rights should be part of a larger effort to strengthen the stability and security of diverse households and families.
What this really means: If the homosexual activists continue to press for same-sex marriage, they recognize they will lose. But if they deceive you with sympathy for old broken-down grandma raising those poor grandchildren, if they get you feeling guilty about the welfare mothers and those pitiful old spinster sisters up the street, then maybe you'll forget that they are trying to sanctify anal sex.
The first prong of their strategy is really the key: Their goal is to render marriage of no more honor or value than serial cohabitation, than a threesome (or foursome or a 24 hr orgy house), than a platonic roommate. Their aim is to completely dishonor the first institution God created, the prime human relationship that mirrors the relationship between Jesus Christ and his bride, the church.
They toss out a bold lie as though it's a well known fact: "household diversity is the demographic norm. " Stop and think. If you are not homosexual (if you're part of the 98-99% of the normal population), aren't most of the kids you know living with at least one, if not both, of their biological or adopted parents? Aren't most of the old people you know either living with their lifetime spouse, or with a son or daughter, or in an assisted care home (which they don't view as their "family") ? Aren't most of your older single friends living alone and not like the Golden Girls? Or is the world just full of utter chaos?
These people think you're narrow because you don't quite cotton to a woman, her natural son, his tattooed and pierced girlfriend, her baby by her last boyfriend, the woman's much younger boyfriend, his bisexual lover, their live-in in-vitro surrogate mother, and her three children by three different fathers. Gee whiz, you must be a narrow minded bigoted homophobe. After all, it's just an "authentic" "loving" relationship.
They do admit that the progressive GLBT movement "invented" alternative legal statuses such as domestic partnership and reciprocal beneficiary.
Need an interpretation? That means: "We made it up. Just like we're going to fabricate the notion of 'same-sex' marriage."
