Same-Sex Marriage Lecture 5: Redefining marriage leads to even more laws being passed that harm heterosexual marriage
- 2. From this Two opposite-sex adults making a commitment to work together to fulfil the RIGHT of their future biological children to the best possible start in life To this Any two adults making a commitment to each other based on mutual, sexual attraction Has the REAL capacity to weaken the heterosexual marital-family norm We have seen that people who oppose redefinition have some honest concerns about redefinition and how it will affect future society. The overwhelming majority are not BIGOTS 2
- 3. If all the old ladies who live together in pairs for companionship formed an activist group that pushed for the right be called married (apart from the lack of sexuality, pairs of elder ladies look like a marriage), people of conscience would also fight to protect the social definition of marriage from this group too. Why? Bigotry? No? Because the marriage club is primarily about offering the best outcomes for biological children
- 4. With the redefinition of marriage the government FULLY accepts the DISHONEST LABEL that same-sex activists have given their opponents. ALL those who think that redefining marriage is wrong are seen to be evil, small-minded BIGOTS who need to at any chance possible be publicly humiliated, dishonoured, disowned.
- 5. Overnight, over half the adult population most normally regarded as law-abiding citizens who contribute substantially to the nation become law-breaking bigots just for thinking that the redefinition of marriage was wrong. People who still voice their disapproval of redefinition usually lose their job.
- 6. Canada set up a special commission to seek out those who were seen to be bigots Anyone who was seen to have written or said something that was against redefinition was dragged through the courts until they typically became bankrupt. Anyone who publicly worried about how same-sex sex is being taught in school to very young children lost their career. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRIt8i0OwRo#t=118 www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2012/11/6758/
- 7. What this means is that, over time, almost all the committees that discuss topics related to marriage become dominated by same-sex activists and EVER MORE laws are passed that consistently work to weaken heterosexual marriage. The best place to raise children becomes ever more harmed and violated. Under the dominion of this social lie society gets TRAPPED in a spiral of social decay it CANNOT get out of.
- 8. Many gays and lesbians know the reason why they turned towards same-sex attraction. They consciously understand that they were not born with attraction towards people of the same-sex and many decide to seek out help to overcome their challenges. In a marriage-redefined country however, seeking such help becomes ever harder. Stories of their successful movement towards their original nature become buried. Many find it hard to fight through all the barriers to get the help they desire. The state seeks to control so as to continue the social lie.
- 9. The Only way the state can respond is to become even more oppressive and radical in its attempt to stamp out bigotry. It cannot see that its policies are the cause of the growing tension.
- 10. Most opponents of redefining marriage CAN see the argument of same-sex activists an argument for fairness and equality BUT STILL they believe it is best not to redefine marriage. The same cannot be said for most same-sex activists. They typically show very little desire to understand the concerns of those who are presently the members of the marriage club. They are intolerant of a belief different from their own
- 11. The state, in refining marriage, is being bigoted against 98% of heterosexuals who dont even have the right to have a word that describes their own, unique, form of family building. The state is also being bigoted against future children - for in a marriage redefined world more and more of them keep losing their right to the best start they can have in life to be raised by their 2 married, biological parents. The only people who have rights here are the 2% of homosexuals and lesbians.
- 12. Any two people or 3 or 4 or 5 can raise kids children just as well as the two biological parents Children dont have an inborn right or desire to be raised by their two biological parents And ALL those who oppose same-sex marriages are bigots The ONLY way that the state can keep these three lies in place is through fear. Researchers fear doing research, people fear talking about the real cause of social breakdown, etc. This is all a result of trying to call three or more different forms of union by the same word. It doesnt have to be this way.
- 13. Although typically bigotry occurs against minorities, here, bigotry against the overwhelming majority is taking place through the force of a social lie that twists reality. Look to the future, see the potential for great harm if marriage is redefined, acknowledge that those who oppose redefinition have some very valid concerns, truth fills the social space, and the spell of the lie is broken and people are then free to look for other healthier alternatives
- 14. Violence against teachers Thank you for trying to understand
- 15. We look at how redefining marriage brings about an increase in the rate of decline of religion, and the timeless values that they teach In their place, the political class rises as the new author of what is seen to be right and wrong based on the politically correct flavour of the month.
