Sodomite Agenda<br />
Sodomites are seeking to redefine marriage in <strong>the</strong> courts and statutes to include<br />
same-sex unions. If <strong>the</strong>ir concern were just to obtain <strong>the</strong> same legal benefits enjoyed<br />
by traditional marriages, <strong>the</strong>y would be satisfied with “domestic partnership” or “civil<br />
unions”. But no, <strong>the</strong>y want much more. They want to legislate <strong>the</strong> beliefs, attitudes,<br />
and values of people―everywhere! It is not just legal standing <strong>the</strong>y seek; it is complete<br />
social and moral approval of <strong>the</strong>ir chosen, self-felt immoral degradation.<br />
Marriage, necessarily requiring a man and a woman, has by nature been an institution<br />
of exclusion from o<strong>the</strong>r “pairings” of people for sexual gratification. It has<br />
earned respect and honor as a sanctified and worthy institution, <strong>the</strong> place where future<br />
generations are incubated and nurtured. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, sodomy, by its nature, has<br />
historically been understood by all cultures to be an aberration, a perversion, unworthy<br />
of praise. Queers are tired of being queer. They want to escape <strong>the</strong> stigma <strong>the</strong>ir sin carries<br />
by joining <strong>the</strong> ranks of <strong>the</strong> holy—holy matrimony.<br />
Proponents of same-sex “marriage” regard it as a human right to be able to enter<br />
into “marriage” regardless of sexual orientation. I agree that Sodomites have a human<br />
right to do <strong>the</strong> wrong thing, to do harm to <strong>the</strong>mselves, to be ignorant or stupid, but<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is no human right to constrain o<strong>the</strong>rs to approve or legally validate that choice.<br />
Just because one is free to choose does not render all choices appropriate. But it is not<br />
really <strong>the</strong> right to choose <strong>the</strong>y seek; it is <strong>the</strong> denial of our right to choose o<strong>the</strong>rwise that<br />
is at <strong>the</strong> forefront of <strong>the</strong>ir campaign.<br />
Maggie Gallagher of <strong>the</strong> National Review says same-sex “marriage” advocates<br />
seek to use <strong>the</strong> law to “stigmatize, marginalize, and repress those who disagree with<br />
<strong>the</strong> government’s new views on marriage and sexual orientation.” Sodomites want you<br />
punished for making <strong>the</strong>m feel ashamed or guilty. They will not rest until it is illegal<br />
to quote <strong>the</strong> Bible regarding <strong>the</strong> sin of sodomy. You can be certain that, within <strong>the</strong> next<br />
few years, homosexuals will be a protected species and heterosexuals <strong>the</strong> endangered<br />
species. They will use <strong>the</strong> courts to purge society of <strong>the</strong> last vestige of negative speech<br />
or discriminatory actions. There is no stopping it, short of a nationwide repentance of<br />
true saints for <strong>the</strong>ir faithlessness in praying for those in authority over <strong>the</strong>m, “that we<br />
may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Tim. 2:1-4). And,<br />
God willing, that revival may be <strong>the</strong> spark that God will use to ignite ano<strong>the</strong>r revival<br />
of <strong>the</strong> godless among us to repentance for <strong>the</strong>ir hell-worthy sins.<br />
Dishonest argument<br />
Defenders of traditional marriage have already lost <strong>the</strong> battle out of timidity.<br />
They argue that marriage is for procreation, something same-sex partners cannot do.<br />
What about sterile couples? Should <strong>the</strong>y be denied <strong>the</strong> right to marry? Defenders of<br />
traditional marriage argue that “heterosexual couples provide <strong>the</strong> procreative foundation<br />
that is <strong>the</strong> chief building block of civilization, and that children are best raised<br />
with a mo<strong>the</strong>r and a fa<strong>the</strong>r.” <strong>No</strong> doubt true, but what of all <strong>the</strong> single parents? O<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
argue that same-sex marriage is contrary to traditional marriage. So what? does that<br />
make it wrong? O<strong>the</strong>rs put forth religious objections, to which <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side quickly<br />
reminds us that religion is often on <strong>the</strong> wrong side. Defenders of heterosexual marriage<br />
argue that “<strong>the</strong> definition proposed by same-sex marriage advocates changes <strong>the</strong><br />
social importance of marriage from its natural function of reproduction into a mere legality<br />
or freedom to have sex.” That might have been a good argument for <strong>the</strong> Puritans<br />
three hundred years ago, but it is embarrassing now.<br />
What I am attempting to convey to you is this: It is ultimately futile to reject samesex<br />
“marriage” on such flimsy grounds as those listed above. Most of you by now<br />
should know that such arguments are our last stand after having abandoned our real<br />
belief—Sodomy is hurtful sin. Anything else would be like <strong>the</strong> arguments used against<br />
premarital sex that point to “how unfulfilling it is to get involved too early.” Good luck<br />
with that argument.<br />
You can voice all kinds of arguments about <strong>the</strong> social implications and what is best<br />
for <strong>the</strong> rearing of children, but that is nothing more than a smoke screen for a faith-<br />
