Morality: Vote Against Same-Sex Marriage is a Vote For Tolerance

Here is an article by Frank Turek describing what the same-sex marriage debate is and is not about.

It is NOT about list:

It is not about equality or equal rights.

It is not about discrimination against a class of people.

It is not about denying homosexuals the ability to commit to one another.

It is not about love or private relationships.

It is not about bigotry or homophobia.

It is not about sexual orientation or being born a certain way.

It is not about race or the civil rights struggle.

It is not about interracial marriage.

It is not about heterosexuals and divorce.

It is not about the separation of church and state.

It is not even about religion.

“But that’s all I hear about,” you say.
Of course, that’s because the propaganda campaign continues to be successful. Those topics are all smokescreens designed to divert you.

He goes on to say that data from countries with same-sex marriage that 96% don't get married even when given the opportunity.

Since most homosexuals don’t want to get married or stay married, then why are homosexual activists so adamant about government recognition of same-sex marriage? Because same-sex marriage will win them what they really want—validation and normalization. In other words, the activists want same-sex marriage because they understand that government-backed same-sex marriage will validate and normalize homosexuality throughout society.

This is not an issue of rights or stopping someone from loving another person of their liking. They are already free to do that. It is not homophobia, since many folks who think marriage should be between one man and one woman don't do so because they are afraid of or hate homosexuals.

Greg Koukl puts this very well: “Same-sex marriage is not about civil rights. It is about validation and social respect. It is a radical attempt at civil engineering using government muscle to strong-arm the people into accommodating a lifestyle many find deeply offensive, contrary to nature, socially destructive, and morally repugnant.” Same-sex marriage advocate Andrew Sullivan understands this. He writes, “Including homosexuals within marriage would be a means of conferring the highest form of social approval imaginable.”

Once they get social (or governmental) approval, they are going to aggressively pursue, as the true villian, those that would dare suggest that this lifestyle is destructive, contrary to nature, or offessive. Don't think so? Look at the news. It is already happening. And will only become more and more frequent.

In fact, this intolerance is already happening and will get worse if same-sex marriage spreads. A federal court recently denied parents the right to know when homosexuality was being discussed in their Massachusetts schools because gay marriage is now legal there. Also in Massachusetts, a Catholic adoption agency was forced to close its doors rather than provide children to homosexual couples as the state now demands. In New Jersey, a Christian ministry was investigated for refusing to conduct a same-sex ceremony. In California, a doctor was sued for refusing to artificially inseminate a lesbian. Several other examples of gay intolerance can be found here, and the unbelievable forced normalization of homosexuality in businesses, schools and charities throughout Massachusetts can be found here.

Stand up for traditional marriage and family. Vote Yes on Prop 8 (if you live out in CA)
