Below is a letter I submitted for publication to the "main" newspaper in the state of Idaho on the legislatures recent passage of a resultion to amend Idaho's constitution to ban same-sex marriage. I hereby relinquish all claims to the letter and open it up for personal use to all members of DU and only DU.
Q3JR4.
*********************************************************************************
Our godly legislature has finally done its part to beat back the scourge of gay marriage. You and I get to cast our votes in the upcoming election to finish the job. The legislature has given us the moral ability to send a message to these homosexuals that they can’t expect to visit each other in hospitals when one or the other is sick, or pass their belongings on to their “partner” after death. I know that Idaho’s proposed amendment says nothing about limiting either of these so-called “rights” but amendments like this in other states with similar wording have been used to do just that. We will not rest until homosexual persons have no more ability to protect or care for each other than two strangers do.
While we’re at it we’ll push things back to the good old days when police officers could bust into the rooms of suspected homosexuals on a whim. Since a majority of Americans believe in an almighty God, I’m sure most of them won’t mind the same police force (AKA the “morals police”) peaking into their bedrooms from time to time just to keep the righteous righteous. I think we could all use a little help every now and again.
Besides, if we allow these people to marry each other what’s to keep a man from marrying a dog, or a box turtle? Sure we could amend the constitution to say that marriage is between two consenting human beings, but we may as well put those godless homosexual heathens on the same level as animals, lower since animals are actually useful.
Because of their perversions homosexuals are more likely to abuse children and die of diseases, non-scientific research carried out by non-scientists proves it. We can’t trust “real” scientific organizations like the American Pediatric Society or the American Psychological Association who have studied and dispute both claims because both organizations used “science” to prove “facts.” If I believe it and a majority of people in the world believe it, that makes it true: provable facts and reputable science be damned.
Who cares what science has to say? It’s not about what “science” tells us, it’s about what God tells us. In the bible, God’s immutable word, Leviticus 18:22 says “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” What stricter words do you need than that to see what God thinks of the whole issue? To be sure, that book of the bible also calls eating or touching shellfish or pork an abomination (Leviticus 11:10, 11-7, 11-11, 11-24), but we can do what other religions (including some sects of Christianity) have done for thousands of years; pick and choose which verse of the holy book we need to to vilify our opponent. At the same time we’ll live the way we want to without applying the other verses around what we claim to believe to ourselves.
It is possible that even if we do change the constitution the youth (who mostly support homosexual marriage) will eventually vote to repeal the amendment. Therefore in the next election don’t vote for your congressman on the basis of a clean environment, the war on terror, fiscal responsibility, smaller government, or anything else congressmen are supposed to care about. The only way we can stop the next generation from legalizing gay marriage is, of course, by helping the Republicans to bring on the rapture
