THE PRESIDENT AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Tuesday, March 02, 2004

I am proud of President Bush for calling for a constitutional amendment banning homosexual marriage and for saying that “same-sex weddings threaten the most fundamental institution of civilization.”

Democrats and gay rights groups vehemently criticized the President for his position and promised the nation a bitterly fought election year.

Bush made his announcement after more than 3,000 homosexual couples were married in San Francisco and as Massachusetts prepares for same-sex marriage to begin this spring. As you have heard me say before, Massachusetts’s highest court has ruled that homosexuals and lesbians should be guaranteed the benefits of marriage and gave their legislatures until May to change the law.

The President argued that the Constitution is the only tool left to keep “activist judges” and other officials from redefining marriage.

Continuing, the President said: “Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.”

Amending the Constitution is not easy. It requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Congress and ratification by the legislatures of at least three-fourths of the States or 38 altogether.

Bush was accused of writing discrimination into the Constitution, but this is not discrimination. The majority of American’s believe in the family. The presence of a father and mother during the formative years of a child makes an incredible difference in how a child develops.

Carried in the homosexual Advocate magazine of September 1987, the same magazine that recently carried Democratic candidate Wesley Clark on its cover, were listed the militant homosexual community’s 10 demands.
Three of the 10 were:

• that homosexuality would be spoken in churches as an “honorable estate,”

• that certain Bible passages of Scripture would be eliminated, and

• that young people would be instructed in homosexual behavior.

That Advocate magazine of 1987, mind you, threatened families with these words:

“If all of these things do not come to pass quickly we will subject Orthodox Jews and Christians to the most sustained hatred and vilification in recent memory…we have the spirit of the age on our side. You have neither the faith or the strength to fight us…”

Well, I will never surrender our national Christian heritage in favor of another god, in favor of the state, or by saying that God has changed His mind on what it right or wrong. Creation God never changes!

Thank you Mr. President for your stand to uphold the sanctity of marriage.
God bless you!
