Many people underestimate the serious threat which gay marriage is to our society.  Fortunately I was able to live in CT while the state legislature was trying to force civil unions on the people.  I was able to be educated about what was really going on  and what the potential ramifications were.  I will list a couple.

Gay marriage will be taught in schools.  As we have seen in Massachusetts gay marriage will be taught as the norm in public schools.  Others will decide what is appropriate for your kids to learn and not you. In Massachusetts a group called GLSEN was allowed to hand out very graphic how-to books to junior high kids. Sex surveys were given to elementary kids.

You may be sued if you oppose it.  We have seen in Canada that groups have been sued for ‘discriminating’ against homosexuals by not providing services for gay weddings.  This has happened to the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic group, and a card manufacturer.  A doctor in California was sued for not helping a lesbian couple have a baby even though the doctor did it on religious beliefs and referred them to another doctor.  A photographer was fined in New Mexico for refusing to take pictures at a homosexual commitment ceremony.

People who oppose it will be discriminated against.  There have been efforts in California to prevent judges who belong to any group that finds homosexual acts immoral to rule on any case involving homosexuals.  Of course the reverse would not apply.  As we as a society continue to accept homosexuality as being OK those who oppose it will be treated much like racists are today.  It will likely become much like the GDR where it was OK to be a member of a religion but it meant that you would never get ahead in your career.

It is a threat to religious organizations.  A Canadian Ministry was fined for firing an employee who had committed homosexual acts even after the employee had signed an agreement saying she would abstain from immoral acts.  An adoption agency in Massachusetts was shutdown after refusing to adopt to homosexual couples.  It wouldn’t be surprising to see churches lose their tax exempt status for preaching that homosexual acts are wrong.

What should we do?  Of course this is just one perspective and there are many other reasons why this is a bad thing.  Go and educate yourself why this is bad and what threats there are.  Be involved.  Some people use covert methods to get their way.  There was a late USU president who tried to get USU to recognize gay marriages.  The only reason that I found out was that I was involved.

Watch out for hate crimes, a.k.a thought crimes. What they do is give extra protection to certain classes. Instead of punishing people for what they actually do they are punished for who they commit the crime against. Why should a homosexual get more protection than another? How long until it is just a crime to have a standard which others don’t like?

Now, I am not saying we should treat people who have homosexual feelings poorly. They need to be loved and respected just like anybody else.  Most are not part of this sinister plot but are only pawns.
