Homosexuality ....a Civil Rights Issue...NOT!

The homosexual community has been trying desperately to paint their cause as a Civil Rights Issue. Any restriction they feel as a group or as individuals is immediately labeled as discrimination. Their myopic view of the world runs contrary to the facts however.

The Civil Rights Marches in the sixties were a time of great upheaval. A time when we as a nation, through pain and suffering, came to realize that a great injustice had been done. It was a difficult time, but people of all races came to realize that God created all men to be equal. Affirmative action was developed in response to decades of unequal treatment, to assist and support the African American people, to heal past hurts and provide “a leg up” to those most hurt by discrimination. The Christian Church was an active participant in embracing these cultural changes and bringing healing to a hurting nation.

However, the Civil Rights Marches in the sixties were not based upon individual or group behavior, but based upon race and the equal opportunity for all races. The question we as a society must ask ourselves now is this: Shall every behavior, no matter how amoral or disgraceful receive official sanction and what amounts to special protection under the law? And if marriage is redefined for the homosexual, should it not also be redefined to encompass any sort of relationship at all?

Civil Union ceremonies between homosexual couples were specifically created to placate the homosexual desire for legalized relationship and have been available for several years. Such ceremonies can provide same sex couples with “legal sanction” and “protection” similar that of traditional Marriage. But the homosexual community is not satisfied with that; their desire is to redefine Marriage for all of us.

The Civil Rights movement never required white America to give anything up, only to recognize the God given equality of African American Community. My concern is that this “Homosexual Rights Movement” is redefining something that my wife, my Lord and I entered into together. Marriage is a sacred institution, not to be toyed with. A “NO” vote on Proposition 8 this November will help to forever change the meaning of Marriage in our society. Gods design and plan for man is constantly under attack by the world. He is ever present and watching His church.

We need to respond by redefining on Gods behalf, what marriage is defined as, in the State of California. Passing Proposition 8 protects our children and places into the California Constitution this simple definition:
That a marriage is between a man and a woman.
