California Marriage Decision Shows Constitutional Amendments Are Only Protection from Activist Courts

Posted May 17th, 2008 at 9.40pm in Family and Religion, First Principles, Rule of Law.

"The California court’s decision treats the push for same-sex “marriage” as the latest wave of the civil rights movement. The decision repeatedly declares that sexual orientation is just like race or ethnicity, and traditional views about marriage are the new racism. If the other branches of government aren’t moving fast enough to enshrine this new “civil right” and combat this new “discrimination,” then the courts will have to do it for them, just as in Brown v. Board.

The decision shows this isn’t about “fairness.” It isn’t about health care benefits. It’s about officially elevating homosexual relationships to the unique status of marriage. Across America, proponents of official recognition of same-sex relationships appealed to tolerance and fairness. But the California decision reveals that the push for same-sex “marriage” is not about giving same-sex couples the same health-care benefits and hospital visitation rights that married couples have. The State of California already gave same-sex couples all that. Instead, the California decision reveals that the push for same-sex “marriage” is about overthrowing cultural norms that have properly set marriage between one man and one woman apart from other household forms on the basis of tradition, legal precedent, and social science evidence."

Since homosexuals don't want to act like "normal" people in a heterosexual relationship, then why do they want the title that "normal" people have? Why? Why do gays want to have marriage, when marriage is between man and woman, they don't want to be like man and woman??
The answer is simple really. Gays have no morals. Homosexual practices are wrong, just like lying, cheating, stealing, molesting, killing, etc. is wrong. However, they think that if the California Supreme Court can make a ruling that says it's okay to be gay, then they will feel good about what they are doing.
They are in for a big surprise, as long as they keep up immoral practices, they will NOT feel good about what they are doing. Because

"Behold, I say unto you, ^awickedness never was ^bhappiness.

11 And now, my son, all men that are in a state of ^anature, or I would say, in a ^bcarnal state, are in the ^cgall of bitterness and in the ^dbonds of iniquity; they are ^ewithout God in the world, and they have gone ^fcontrary to the nature of God; therefore, they are in a state contrary to the nature of happiness.

12 And now behold, is the meaning of the word restoration to take a thing of a natural state and place it in an unnatural state, or to place it in a state opposite to its nature?

13 O, my son, this is not the case; but the meaning of the word restoration is to bring back again ^aevil for evil, or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish—good for that which is good; righteous for that which is righteous; just for that which is just; merciful for that which is merciful.
