OK, I admit it – this may not be a stellar post. Am fighting a bit of writer’s block, I’ve finally determined that the only therapy for this is to start typing and what ever keys my fingertips tap will be it. I appreciate your indulgence…
Homosexual marriage – the Progressives are always trying to force us to evolve to a higher state. They self-righteously have decided that since they all are much smarter and more "moral" than the rest of us, they have the right to force their beliefs upon rest of us. In this regard, ANY attempt to rebel against this forcing of an attitude is immediately met with screams of "anti-gay" or "homophobe" or "intolerance" or "anti-equality" simply for upholding the traditional definition that marriage is between a man and a woman.
I wrote a post on disagreeing with an implicit debasing of marriage (no, "what if you’re not compatible in bed") and listed what I thought were some requirements for a long lasting marriage. Of COURSE, a comment came in that decided that I needed to be "re-edumacated":
So, will you be supporting marriage equality next year (or this fall) when the repeal bills are considered by the General Court?
Once again, never wasting an opportunity to go from Point A to Point … somewhere regardless of the original intent. Always the "push" and in seemingly every area of culture. Including children. After all, it was an NEA teacher speaking at a UN conference said:
We must teach our children at a very young age that the male, female and intersex comes with the presence of genitalia and no further expectation…The same could be true of our sexual orientation. Homophobia exists when those stocked in the binary box of strictly hetero, find themselves slipping out of that role that religion and family promote.
A lot of people reacted very negatively to that – people expect schools to teach the basics of math, reading, writing, history, and the like and not be platforms for Progressives to view a their private platforms for social engineering. How DARE Parents believe their that children are theirs to bring up according to their notions of morality – they are wrong and we will teach their children otherwise.
Given that penchant for Progressives to have quotas established for their special identity victim groups for everything, I was not surprised at the latest news earlier this week: a petition by Lair Scott at Change.org was demanding Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie had to become gay simply because it fit their quota / agenda purposes:
TMEW and I just celebrated our thirtieth wedding anniversary so I think that we might have a bit of experience of what makes a marriage work, mostly. And yes, mostly can be the operative word as sometimes marriages hit spots when they don’t work for one reason or another. Arguments, fiscal issues, relationship problems, work demands, and health situations (not to mention kids) are all the common ones – and sometimes, uncommon manifestations of each and if you have the same last name as I, Murphy’s Laws can often have them pop up several at a like the carny Whack-a-Mole game.
