Dennis Prager on Same-Sex Marriage Laws – 2 of 3

We continue with Praeger’s classic column on California’s same-sex marriage law.
“Since the secular age began, the notion that one should look to religion – or to any past wisdom – for one’s values has died. Thus, the modern attempts to undo the Judeo-Christian value system as the basis of America’s values, and to disparage the Founders as essentially morally flawed individuals (They allowed slavery, didn’t they?). The modern secular liberal knows that he is not only morally superior to conservatives; he is morally superior to virtually everyone who ever lived before him.

Which leads to third reason such a sea change could be so cavalierly imposed by four individuals – the modern supplanting of wisdom with compassion as the supreme guide in forming society’s values and laws. Just as for religious fundamentalists, “the Bible says” ends discussion, for liberal fundamentalists, “compassion says” ends discussion.

If this verdict stands, society as we have known it will change. The California Supreme Court and its millions of supporters are playing with fire. And it will eventually burn future generations in ways we can only begin to imagine.
Outside the privacy of their homes, young girls will be discouraged from imagining one day marrying prince charming – to do so would be declared “heterosexist,” morally equivalent to racist. Rather, they will be told to imagine a prince or a princess. School boys will not be allowed to describe marriage in male-female ways only. Little girls will be asked by other girls and by teachers if they want one day to marry a man or a woman.

The sexual confusion that same-sex marriage will create among young people is not fully measurable. Suffice it to say that, contrary to the sexual know-nothings who believe that sexual orientation is fixed from birth and permanent, the fact is that sexual orientation is more of a continuum that ranges from exclusive heterosexuality to exclusive homosexuality. Much of humanity – especially females – can enjoy homosexual sex. It is up to society to channel polymorphous human sexuality into an exclusively heterosexual direction – until now, accomplished through marriage. But that of course is “heterosexism,” a bigoted preference for man-woman erotic love, and therefore to be extirpated from society.” (To be continued tomorrow)

With regard to exclusive homosexuality, I believe that scientific evidence and natural law persuade that homosexuality is a choice with some exceptions.
What is most disturbing is a message from Family Research Council, 5-23-08; Restore Man-Woman Marriage in California. reply@frc.org
“Even though Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) had vetoed two legislative attempts to create same-sex “marriage,” he has now capitulated and said he will not support a measure likely to be on the November ballot that will make preserve man-woman marriage. Earlier this week, Schwarzenegger even joked that this abusive ruling will bring a tourist boom to California. He told reporters, “You know, I’m wishing everyone good luck with their marriages and I hope that California’s economy is booming because everyone is going to come here and get married.” Arnold has become a most destructive Catholic-in-name-only politician.
