A Judge Overturns A Majority Opinion

This afternoon, a Federal Judge in Utah struck down a provision in the Utah State Constitution regarding the definition of marriage, which was voter approved in 2004 by a 66% majority. The article contained all the now usual celebrations from the gay community; but few from anyone who disagreed with the Judges ruling.

In a previous blog (during the whole Proposition 8 debacle), I stated that I think gay marriage is an inevitability in the US. However, I disagreed with the manner in which this struggle was being fought; which is to say that the LGBT community is seeking to force their agenda on everyone rather than allowing time to go about its slow, steady change to the opinions of Americans everywhere.

Now, these five years later, we are seeing almost every day new rulings that tell the majority of Americans that they are wrong and now must accept gay marriage whether they like it or not. Dissenting opinions are quickly quashed by those who claim tolerance, but display none towards anyone who dares speak out.

Anyway, I had to write my dissenting opinion on the local paper's boards. I won't go back and read any comments to my opinion because I know that they will be filled with hateful words, and my beliefs will be reviled and attacked at every turn.

Here's my response:

"Next up...The PC Thought Police will be attacking anyone who has the temerity to even THINK differently than what the gay agenda tells everyone they MUST think. If you disagree, you are hateful, bigoted, prejudiced, blah, blah, blah...

I didn't grow up in Utah; I have know a number of people who are gay, worked well with them, and have no problem with anyone who is gay. However, I personally find the thought of gay marriage to be morally repugnant. I will never agree that gay marriage is a civil right, and that the laws and interpretations regarding such have been twisted and skewed to create a hostile environment towards anyone who disagrees with the LGBT position on the matter. Our lawmakers, corporate leaders and local leaders are being relentlessly, viciously attacked and cowed into positions of acquiescence to make it appear that all Americans view gay marriage with open arms. 

 This is a great lie that the majority of Americans fail to speak out against for fear of being called names and labeled with terms that most gays don't even understand, but which help them to belittle anyone who dares have an opinion contrary to what they are telling everyone else that they should believe. This incredibly vocal minority is dictating to a vast majority of Americans how to think, and in doing so, are stripping our populace of their freedom of speech on this matter. There is no open dialogue; no differing of opinion. In this matter, there is ONLY the opinion that the LBGT community dictates. Anyone who thinks otherwise is hateful, bigoted, prejudiced, blah, blah, blah..."
