The problem isn't sanctioning the gay marriage branch of the post-Christian sexual revolution. Hey, last year the lion's share of new HIV cases was once again homosexual men. No biggie. The press will barely mention it. Try to bring that into the discussion and watch how fast you are targeted and attacked. We continue plodding along as suicides spike, STDs are on the rise, and millions continue to get infected or die from AIDS while millions of more lives are ruined from our age of Sodom and Gomorrah debauchery. But those are small beans since the World has made these problems small beans compared to an unrestrained sex life.
The real story here is that the Mormon Church buckled and caved. When the Left is becoming more naked in its designs, and more appalling in its agendas, more and more defenders of the virtues and heritage of the Christian Faith are surrendering. Years ago when it was just 'gee, can't we agree that homosexuality is completely normal', these people were willing to hit the beaches to resist.
Now they're caving before the idea that standing in the way of unlimited abortion must mean homosexual marriages is next. And we can't have that! This is the same movement that is pushing the mutilation of teenager's bodies over a crackpot psych agenda that insists anyone should be celebrated for their personal versions of truth, but we really need counseling to get us through the terror of Cicada Stress Syndrome. As a former supporter of, and worker within, the mental health arenas of society, I freely admit it's gone off the rails and has become a major player behind the darkness we're seeing.
Of course this legislation is less about protection gay or interracial messaging as much as reinforcing the narrative that pure evil is resisting any dogma of the Left. Remember, this legislation came about after Roe was struck down by the Supreme Court. The premise being that if you let liberalism fail even once, then it's national lynchings and sanctioned rape cultures and gas chambers and Matthew Shepherds on a daily basis. You are either 100% to the Left, or you are guilty of, and desire, all evils imaginable. Each GOP senator, and the Mormon Church, approves this message. That is, if they've even bothered to think it through beyond simply caving.
When I was growing up, we watched those old black and white news reels of Nazi Germany and wonder how the German people could be swept up in such madness. We used to watch and wonder why Germans who knew better didn't stand up to the clear and obvious evils sweeping their nation. Well, now we know. As my son has said that with each passing day it becomes easier to sympathize with those Germans who lived through the 1930s.

ReplyDeleteYears ago my old research director (now nearly 98) opined that San Francisco's gay community would disappear eventually, because they did not reproduce. That is true of the whole liberal order, and only a few like Elon Musk have even an inkling of what that will mean for the world economy whose current success fuels their arrogance. You can see it occurring now in Japan and the rest of East Asia, where whole cultures could be gone in a century. Immigration is likely to keep that from happening here and in Western Europe for a time, but once world population (especially in the part of the world with the money to buy stuff) contracts, not only capitalism, but even more so the socialism that parasitizes it will suffers stresses not seen since the Great Plague and Mongol massacres of the 14th century. Nature never forgives, and the slow-match, if not extinguished, will still set off the charge.
We thought so, but there doesn't seem to be any slowing down. I think because it has been able to amass quite a coalition. It seems every year new groups are joining the push to end the Christian West once and for all.
