Demonize Rather Than Discuss
May 12, 2009
“Demonization, not discussion, appears to be the modus operandi of the homosexual activist movement…Those who disagree with the radical homosexual agenda are demonized by their opponents for their belief.”
Columnist Ken Connors wrote that statement and poses the following questions suggesting that “these and dozens of other important questions need to be asked and answered before declaring that the heterosexual model for marriage is obsolete.”
- Is it in society’s interest to jettison the historic heterosexual model for marriage and embrace a new paradigm that includes homosexual unions (and, inevitably, other kinds of unions that are fashioned by other kinds of sexual impulses)? What are the implications for children of such unions?
- Are moms and dads merely superfluous, or do men and women both provide important role models for children?
- Will children suffer from gender confusion without heterosexual role models? Will gender have meaning in the future?
- Is gender identification important in preparing children to take their proper place in society?
- How will society be reproduced?
- Will we do it the old fashioned way or will we resort to brave new world technology? How will we regulate such technology?
- Will increased demand for such technology lead to designer children?
- Will fathers play a role in the lives of their children or will men be reduced to the status of mere inseminators?
- Will mothers become an anachronism?
- Will we embrace a definition of marriage which makes it a simple contractual relationship between two independent adults who are “in love?” If so, can the contract be amended?

Homosexuality is not contagious. I know more straight people who’ve resorted to in vitro fertilization and adoption to create their families than gay people. Parents are not superfluous, but let’s stop pretending that parents are the ONLY influence in children’s lives. The happiest children are those who don’t suffer from economic crisis and who have regular contact with a loving extended family.
Have you thought about what this argument – “children need both parents” says to all those single parents, like my son, whose wife left him and their baby? It makes him feel like he’s a failure and he’s doomed. Instead, our grandson is being raised by his father AND his grandparents AND his aunts and uncles. He’s got plenty of good role models in his life. My son’s wife didn’t leave him because the definition of marriage was in jeopardy of being redefined – she left him because she was suffering from post-partum depression and they didn’t have health care that would pay for regular counseling.
Please – let’s stop going after these larks and pay attention to the real problems!!!

I see Jane is on a roll here with her gay activism. What Jane is essentially telling us, is that parents are not important. If same-sex marriage is made law, then not only is Jane telling you this, but so is your State. If you believe that too, then support same-sex marriage and live with the outcome. I say, children don’t deserve one more social experiment. I will never support same-sex marriage.
