Marriage in Maine: Why We’d Better Fight for It

Marriage in Maine: Why We’d Better Fight for It

Sandy Rios

“The Sandy Rios Show,” WYLL Chicago


October 30, 2009

Now that we know what President Obama's "Safe Schools Czar" Kevin Jennings means by "safe," we'd better start putting the pieces together on homosexual activism and fight back.

The beautiful old state of Maine faces a battle that will affect us all. Will they vote "yes" to maintain traditional marriage on November 3rd or will they not? Homosexual advocates are pouring in millions, while defenders are operating on a shoestring. This is a battle where gay activists are strong and sure and some opponents too clever by half. One thing is sure: If we believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, we'd better mobilize. But marriage is just one piece of this puzzle. Let me tell you why.

Much has been reported about the "Safe Schools Czar," not the least of which is his desire to "Queer Elementary Education." That is the creepy title of the book for which he wrote the forward along with no-longer-underground-Bill Ayers. And the title actually means what you think it means. The book is filled with child-adult sex, including the story of a lesbian mom and her daughter lusting for the same girl in the playground. Homosexual activists have your kids in their sights. The next generation is very important to them—and not only for the purposes of propaganda.

Homosexual activists want your children in every way. In order to achieve that, it is necessary to mainstream homosexuality so that anyone opposing it is severely ostracized or punished as a result. But, of course, we're there. Matt Barber, while working for All State Insurance, wrote—on his own time—an article opposing homosexuality and was subsequently fired. Crystal Dixon, African American Vice President for Human Resources at University of Toledo met the same fate for writing an op-ed in a newspaper expressing her religious views on the subject. Corporations are targeted and punished for not supporting homosexuality. Years ago, United Airlines was among the first to cave in—and the rest of corporate America has fallen like dominoes. Corporate America now spends money, posts rainbows, celebrates "pride"—but they dare not give money in support of traditional marriage or pro-family causes for fear of retribution.

Only positive examples of "gayness" have been presented in television, movies and media in order to normalize and de-stigmatize homosexuality. Young Americans can hardly remember when or why homosexuality was once taboo. After the famous Britney Spears/Madonna kiss there was an epidemic of teenage girls experimenting with lesbianism, kissing in public, emulating their idols for all to see. Through Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs, established by Safe Schools Czar Jennings and his former organization GLSEN, children—even in grade school—have been encouraged to "come out." Questionnaires in health classes ask how students know they are straight if they haven't tried sex with a same-sex partner.

It is not my intention to contradict church teachings on the subject of marriage equality for Gay couples (even though those teachings vary widely between denominations). Nor is it my intention to contradict Scripture (even though most Christians believe that Scripture is open to certain amounts of contextual interpretation).

Instead, I would prefer to approach this subject from a purely Constitutional viewpoint. And the fact remains that there is simply no justification for denying law-abiding, taxpaying Gay couples the same legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities that Straight couples have always taken for granted. It's called equal protection under the law. It's the reason we have a 14th Amendment.

I would like to reassure Sandy Rios that NOTHING is going to happen to "traditional marriage." Most people will always be Straight (i.e. heterosexual), and Straight couples will continue to marry and build families as always, regardless of Gay couples marrying.
