Who needs protection now?
But the truth is out. Homosexual activists are not fighting for their “safety.” Nor are they fighting for their “rights.” The California Supreme Court recognized in its now-infamous same-sex “marriage” decision that homosexual couples already possess the legal rights and responsibilities afforded to heterosexual couples through California's civil union law; Proposition 8 did not change that. The reality is that homosexual activists are bent on the open promotion and celebration of homosexuality in America — even at the expense of our safety. They do not permit anyone to object, no matter how reasonable, thoughtful or kindly they do so. They simply will not permit religious people to express their faith – not at the ballot box and not even in their own houses of worship.
Remember when all they wanted was the “right to visit their partner in the hospital” (a false claim in and of itself because patients already have the right to designate who can visit them)? But still, those days — and the false tears — are long gone. Today, they storm churches, bullying people into denying their sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage, while trampling our religious liberties and our form of government.
In lawsuits challenging Proposition 8, homosexual activists ask the Supreme Court to violate legal precedent and ignore the state and federal constitutions to invalidate the marriage amendment. In effect, they are asking the Court to nullify the sovereign right of the people to self-govern.
But remember, this is all in the name of “tolerance and safety.” A small price to pay, right?
