State after state is declaring homosexual unions &#8220;marriage&#8221;: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and now, Vermont, with California trembling on the brink. Marriage revolution measures also lurk in the legislatures of Maine, New Jersey and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p>As much as some don&#8217;t want to recognize what&#8217;s happening, homosexual advocates are running all over us. They have a better strategy, more will and more workers who are dedicated, unapologetic and bold. On our side we have truth, and yet there are only a few people who understand we are in a war for its preservation. These few are backed (if one can call it that) by an army of the timid, the compromised, the doubtful, the confused and the treasonous.<\/p>\n<p>Pastors avoid this issue like the plague&#8211;or go the other way and support homosexual &#8220;marriage.&#8221; Or like Pastor Rick Warren, there&#8217;s always the option of opposing it, then denying you ever opposed it.<\/p>\n<p>The manly GOP runs with its tail between its legs at any skirmish involving the &#8220;H&#8221; word. Michael Steele believes people are probably born &#8220;gay,&#8221; so there goes the foundation of a cohesive platform against legitimizing it as marriage. If articulated consistently, opposing homosexuality could be a winning issue for any party, because it happens to be the right thing to do, and most people know that at a gut level.<\/p>\n<p>This is not an &#8220;adults only&#8221; issue, and it&#8217;s not about marriage. It&#8217;s about legitimizing the behavior of homosexuality everywhere: in dating, in sexual identities, in the workplace. It&#8217;s about embracing its stories and mythologies, and ignoring the pathologies, to form the dreams and identities of even 10-year-olds. It becomes permissible to transform Christianity based on such legitimacy. Why can&#8217;t we talk about what&#8217;s really happening? <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090413202302\/http:\/\/wnd.com:80\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=94598\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Click here to read this entire article.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Linda Harvey (Mission America)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":31096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-signs-of-the-times","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
