Maine has denied marriage between same-sex couples, once again demonstrating that when the people speak, the concept of family and traditional marriage wins out.
Five states have legalized gay marriage — Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut — but all did so through legislation or court rulings, not by popular vote.
In Portland, Maine,
two lesbians, Cecelia Burnett and Ann Swanson had already set their wedding date, but the vote didn't go their way.
Said Cecelia:
I'm ready to start crying. I don't understand what the fear is, why people are so afraid of this change.It hurts. It hurts personally.It's a personal rejection of us and our relationship, and I don't understand what the fear is.
First off, she is half wrong and half right. It's not fear, but it IS rejection. It's a realization by the majority that their aberrant lifestyle and activities have been promoting the destruction of the core family and it's values for decades.
Now, with this gay marriage effort, they are also attacking every religion on Earth by demanding that these religious organizations alter their core beliefs and recognize their "union" by declaring them also married. Just another attempt to have their lifestyle be unconditionally accepted... And enforced by law, if necessary.
That's what is really behind the voter rejection in now 31 States.
There can be no doubt whatever that the homosexual lifestyle must, by its very nature, be anti-family. In this context, I define "family" as a man and a women, having and raising children in a safe and secure home environment. Marriage, a religious concept, is reserved exclusively for this man and woman. A family is not created when two same-sexers adopt a child in an attempt to satisfy their innate urges for parenthood. They cannot be parents. Webster's definition of "parent" is "one who begets or brings forth children". At best, they can only be considered guardians, or long-term baby sitters.
I find it devious and deceitful that homosexuals and lesbians, individuals that fully understand that their sexual practices are condemned by religion, demand to be joined together in a religious ceremony by the very institutions they ridicule and reject because of their beliefs.
I have never met a truly religious homosexual. One cannot be both. So why do they demand to be joined together in a ceremony created by an institution whose beliefs they reject? It's a way to enforce acceptance, nothing more.
Secondly: If homosexuals and lesbians want a licensed civil union, licensed by the State, fine. But this concerted assault on marriage is, in reality, just another assault against normalcy. Added to the ever-present scornful and often vicious attitude towards normal people -even their parents - these endless attacks has alerted the over 90% of Americans who have no desire to champion their lifestyle, and are running out of tolerance for their selfish conduct.
Homosexuals and lesbians had had a great romp through the court systems, gaining unfair advantage under the law. But demanding to be "married" is a bridge too far. They should realize this, be satisfied with whatever gains they have made.
If they keep pushing against the over 90% of Americans that have no use for their sexual practices and lifestyles, Americans who have - so far - remained mute, they will discover what a brick wall is, and how it can fall on them.
Like I have said before: Go live your life. You - and your lovers - will be gone soon enough. But
leave our children alone. Stay out of our schools, stay out of our schoolbooks. It's the children who are our future, You are most definitely not. You are a genetic dead-end.
So, Cecilia, understand this:
It's not fear, it's not homophobia. It's the end of a long period in which silence was assumed to be tolerance... For what most people worldwide consider abhorrent behaviour. You are not a "third sex". No matter your education or intelligence, you are still a just a human being that has been wired wrong sexually.
For decades, the majority has dealt with that fact. Now it's your turn.
