My wife is a great cook, but my son and I still remember the
day she tried to slip one by us. “Enjoy
the mashed potatoes!” she said. They
looked a little watery, but who’s to complain we thought. On bite and there was no hiding it
though. What can you say about
cauliflower “disguised” and passed off as mashed potatoes. Sure, it was an experiment, and she wanted to
help us eat more vegetables, and cauliflower is good for you and on and on and
on. It didn’t work.
Her “cauliflower mashed potatoes” came to mind listening to
all the people “evolve” and now support “marriage equality.” Give me a break. Cauliflower mashed potatoes are not about
“vegetable equality.” They’re about
redefining food and trying to slip one by unnoticed, just like “marriage
equality” is really no more than “redefining marriage” without owning up to it.
I hate to sound like the angry blogger on a rant, but I’m
. .
. . – OK, I’ll own it – I’m fed
up, angry and ready to rant.
Same-sex marriage is about redefining marriage. Be honest about it. If you want to redefine marriage to include
two people of the same gender then have the guts to argue for that. But framing the question as a matter of equality
is ridiculous. Change an institution and
it is no longer what it was. Change
marriage to include two people of the same sex and you’ve changed marriage. It is no longer what it was. That’s not about equality, that’s
redefinition.
Tell a fish that what he does is fly so that birds and fish
have equal access to the practice of flying?
No, you have redefined what it means to fly. And by the way, you’ve now made the term
virtually meaningless.
Face up to redefining marriage for what it is, and suddenly
it is pretty clear that we simply have one more step in a long march to remake
marriage into a contract between adults for the purpose of
self-fulfillment. No-fault divorce was
an early step in this march. Wide
acceptance of cohabitation is another step.
And now same-sex marriage. These
are all steps in the same direction to redefine marriage as something other
than what it is. As was pointed out at
the Supreme Court oral arguments, friendship that is forced upon people, is by
definition something other than friendship.
Forcing a redefinition under the guise legal equality is
disingenuous.
Make no mistake, same-sex marriage is a huge, UNTESTED social
experiment with scientifically unknown consequences. Sure, there are many advocates for this practice
from the social science fields, but when the actual research is examined it turns
out to be something other than real research. Click Here to read “A Social Experiment Without
Science Behind It: Advocates of same-sex marriages can’t back up claims about positive
long-term effects.”
Same-sex marriage is about redefinition that wants to hide
behind the term “equality.” In truth, “there is no more of a ban on same-sex
couples getting married then there is a ban on two-wheeled unicycles or square
triangles.” Click Here to read more
