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.
