Let us all Speak Up for Marriage now!
Since having established
this webpage a few have responded arguing that legalising homosexual marriage
will not impact on anyone in any way. They claim that faith-based communities
have nothing to fear, and no one will be forced to embrace their lifestyle, and
things will simply go on as normal.
At first I thought, ‘perhaps
this is the truth’, but then someone asked me to read what this concerned
Massachusetts father has to say about how the public schools have been
impacted. I provide some of his account below. It is truly concerning:
Anyone who thinks that
same-gender “marriage” is a benign eccentricity which won’t affect the average
person should consider what it has done in Massachusetts. It’s become a hammer
to force the acceptance and normalization of the issue. And this is moving
fast. What has happened so far is only the beginning.
On November 18, 2003, the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court announced its Goodridge opinion,
ruling that it was unconstitutional not to allow same-gender “marriage.” Six
months later, same gender marriages began to be performed.
The same gender “marriage”
onslaught in public schools across the state started soon after the November
2003, court decision. At my own children’s high school there was a school-wide
assembly to celebrate same-gender “marriage” in early December, 2003. It featured
an array of speakers, including teachers at the school who announced that they
would be “marrying” their same-gender partners and starting families either
through adoption or artificial insemination. Literature on same-gender marriage
– how it is now a normal part of life – was handed out to the students.
Within months it was
brought into the middle schools. In September, 2004, an 8th-grade teacher in
Brookline, MA, told NPR (ABC equivalent) that the marriage ruling had
opened up the floodgates for teaching homosexuality. “In my mind, I know that,
`OK, this is legal now.’ If somebody wants to challenge me, I’ll say, `Give me
a break. It’s legal now,’” she told NPR. She added that she now discusses the
issue with her students as explicitly and revealing as she desires.
By the following year it
was in elementary school curricula. Kindergartners were given picture books
telling them that same-gender couples are just another kind of family, like
their own parents.
Second graders at the
same school were read a book, “King and King”, about two men who have a romance
and marry each other, with a picture of them kissing. When the parents
complained, they were told that the school had no obligation to notify them or
allow them to opt-out their child.
In 2006 the parents filed
a federal Civil Rights lawsuit to force the schools to notify parents and allow
them to opt-out their elementary-school children when homosexual-related
subjects were taught. The federal judges dismissed the case. The judges
ruled that because same-gender marriage is legal in Massachusetts, the school
actually had a duty to normalize these relationships to children, and that
schools have no obligation to notify parents or let them opt-out their
children! Acceptance of same gender relationships had become a matter
of good citizenship!
Think about that: Because
same-gender marriage is “legal”, a federal judge has ruled that the schools now
have a duty to portray same gender relationships as normal to
children, despite what parents think or believe!
In 2006, in the
elementary school where my daughter went to Kindergarten, the parents of a
third-grader were forced to take their child out of school because a man
undergoing a sx-change operation and cross-dressing was being brought into
class to teach the children that there are now “different kinds of
families.” School officials told the mother that her complaints to the
principal were considered “inappropriate behavior.”
Libraries have also
radically changed. School libraries across the state, from elementary
school to high school, now have shelves of books to normalize homosxual
behavior and the lifestyle in the minds of kids, some of them quite explicit.
Parents’ complaints are ignored or met with hostility.
Over the past year,
homosxual groups have been distributing a large, hardcover book celebrating
homoexual marriage titled “Courting Equality” into every school library in the
state.
“Gaydays” in schools are
considered necessary to combat “intolerance” which may exist against
same-gender relationships. Hundreds of high schools and even middle
schools across the state now hold what they call "appreciation
days”. In my own town, a school committee member recently announced that
combating “homophobia” is now a top priority.
Once homosxuality has
been normalized, all boundaries will come down. The schools are already moving
on to normalizing transgenderism (including cross-dressing and sx changes). (www.massresistance.org/docs/marriage/effects_of_ssm.html)
Well, food for thought. Is this what we want our
children to experience in Australia? Let us speak up now! Ask your family
members to speak up.http://marriage.greekorthodox.org.au
