That wasn't "spam", Danny boy. Those were a collection of articles that opine
pretty much along the lines of my own thoughts.


By the way........here's another article that opines pretty much the way I
feel about it. If you want to `discuss' anything......fire away!



Austin Nimocks : Finally, "Straight Talk" From the Homosexual Agenda -



We all love and appreciate honesty, and itā€Ös finally coming from the
most unlikely of sourcesā€öthe homosexual agenda. No matter what side of the
issues of homosexual behavior you may find yourself supporting, a
standing ovation is appropriate.


John Corvino, I salute you.


You see, back in August, my jaw hit the floor when I read a column
Corvino wrote that was breathtakingly honest. You see, for many years, the
homosexual agenda's intentions, goals, and beliefs have been shrouded
in smokescreens of "equality", "benefits", and "fairness."¯ Yet Corvino
provided a breath of fresh air, telling us what those who engage in
homosexual behavior really want: moral approval.


Of course, many of us have known this all along, but it's nice to
finally hear about it from the other side. This groundbreaking concession now
provides an opportunity for an honest public discourse on what
homosexual advocates are really after. They want your heart and soul. It's not
enough to just be tolerant.


Now, I realize that you probably believe that your fair-mindedness is
sufficient for any number of circumstances in life, but on this issue,
you have been duped. You see, moral approval goes well beyond fairness or
tolerance. It requires you to look upon the homosexual behavior of
another and say to yourself and others, "That's a good thing". `Moral
approval means that you plan to teach it to your kids as righteous and true,
and not just as something that other people do (and then secretly pray that
you never find your kids doing). Moral approval means that you must
reject other people, businesses, and persons who do not morally approve of
homosexual behavior.


Most of all, moral approval means that you not only permit it in your
home, but you embrace it. You applaud TV shows that celebrate it, Web
sites that promote it, books that endorse it, and you may even choose to
practice it. Moral approval goes to the very essence of our person.
Not convinced that anyone could want something that radical from you?
Well, there's no need to accept something just because I say it.


Instead, look at the strategy employed by those who promote this agenda in the
courts. That alone tells you something. Courts are not sought by people who
simply want you to tolerate an idea. Courts order people to do
things. From just this small sample of court cases, you can see that tolerance
or simple access to certain `benefits'¯ is no longer enough. What is
desired is court-ordered moral approval:


Ā· In New Jersey, the state launched an investigation of a Christian
ministry after it declined to host a civil union ceremony for two women
on its property. The women could have held their ceremony anywhere (and
eventually did hold it somewhere else) but they filed a complaint
anyway because they loathed the ministry's lack of moral approval.


Ā· In New Mexico, a same-sex couple filed a "human rights"¯ complaint
against a photographer who declined to photograph their "commitment"¯
ceremony. The photographer lost and was ordered to cough up more than
$6,600 in attorney's fees. Before the ruling, the couple hired a
different photographer from the myriad of other ones available, but still
chose to retaliate against the first photographer for her lack of moral
approval.


Ā· In Georgia, a counselor was fired because she referred a woman in a
same-sex relationship to another counselor for relationship advice. The
second counselor provided service that the woman herself characterized
as "exemplary".¯ Yet she still demanded (and obtained) the first
counselor's termination for her lack of moral approval.


Ā· In California, a woman in a same-sex relationship sued a doctor who
declined to artificially inseminate her, claiming discrimination on the
basis of "sexual orientation."¯ The woman misrepresented her marital
status to the doctor, who has a policy not to perform the procedure on
unmarried women regardless of their "orientation."¯ Other doctors successfully
performed the procedure, and she has since borne three healthy children,
yet the woman continues to demand the first doctor's moral approval in
court.


Note that having other options did not satisfy the people involved in
the above same-sex relationships. The point to see: they demand moral
approval. And some will go to court, have you fired, or otherwise seek
your demise to get it. And they don't care if you have to act against
your conscience, just so long as you can ease theirs.


Corvino accurately states that "moral truth matters."¯ But there's no
longer any guessing about what truth he and those like him are referring
to: it's the one they have defined, and you'd better accept it. An
abundance of "tolerance" will not suffice.
