With a clearly definitive win in the Washington Supreme Court this week, marriage advocates are on an impressive roll. From the beginning I argued that among the most recent cases to be decided, the case in the state of Washington was the most important.
With no residency requirement in the state, the radical homosexual activists pushing the fraud of same-sex marriage would need a win in Washington and seek to challenge the federal Defense of Marriage Act. In doing so, it would leave the national definition of marriage up to a single federal judge – and not the millions of Americans who should by right be the one to define such terms.
But don't be fooled, upcoming decisions in New Jersey and a handful of other states still leave more than enough room for judicial monkey business. The fact that Massachusetts' gay activists were smarmy enough to get their state referendum held hostage from the voters of that state until after this election cycle is completed is proof plenty that the agenda has not died.
But why are radical homosexual activists losing the fight?
Simply put – it's a godless proposition they are putting forth and the vast majority of Americans – even some liberals – are not ready to bankroll a completely bankrupt values agenda.
How can I make it clearer?
Homosexual activists have been so ugly and nasty in their utter contempt for good churchgoing people in America that the great con they have been able to pull for the last 30 years has now all but been exposed for the fraud that it is.
When a culture despises the moral foundations that make it great, such contempt will ultimately steal its greatness. Our culture is not ready to take that ultimate step just yet.
People all over the globe understand intuitively that two daddies will never be able to provide the needed guidance for a young girl that only a mommy and a daddy can bring. People understand easily – without argument – how a boy growing up with two mommies will never have the definition of what real manliness is by seeing it lived out in front of him. It just defies common sense to attempt to argue otherwise.
I also think that it's pretty evident that people understand what makes homosexual behavior different than a darker shade of skin. Until recently, radical activists have gotten away with trying to make the "we are just like them" argument when it comes to comparing the needed civil-rights reform this nation was all too slow to embrace and the charade that homosexuals are trying to propagate in terms of their behavior today.
No gene, no cell, no DNA has ever been proven to cause one man to engage in all varieties of sexual acts with another man. Pure unbridled lust maybe, but not DNA. And for the record, pure unbridled lust almost always turns out bad, no matter what gender of person you're engaging with sexually. Restrained sexuality is certainly what scriptural texts call for, but it is also what science has proven to be the healthiest for the individuals involved.
The reason homosexual activists are losing on the battle to redefine marriage is simple – it's just plain wrong.
I know, it's not a popular position to take. Neither is telling the uncle who is always drunk how alcohol might kill him someday. But if you really loved you're uncle, wouldn't you at least try? And you certainly wouldn't let him get behind the wheel.
Calling for sexual restraint is not popular. Calling for sexual discipline in society that matches the scriptural model isn't, either. (One man, one woman, in marriage for a lifetime.) But ultimately, if you truly love those around you who are injuring themselves and others they love, it is your obligation to speak up.
In my book, "MuscleHead Revolution – Overturning Liberalism with Commonsense Thinking" (Harvest House Publishers), which comes out Aug. 1, I will give you 10 principles to assist you in clarifying your thinking so that you can take positive action in not just winning the debate on the issue, but even win the hearts of those you engage with.
The time for shading the truth is past – and doing so does nothing to help anyone.
Marriage is winning, and the activists are losing.
In winning the battle, we commonsense types are helping the radicals by simply pointing out some really old-fashioned ideas – like right and wrong.

Great article. Thanks for posting it!

The vast majority of folks who have children don't want their kids to be gay. Why? Cause it is not a normal lifestyle. It is immoral.
"Should homo marriage become law of the land the downwind effects, unforeseen consequences will be incalculable."
Definitely. Most people think homo marriage is no big deal. What they don't realize is it a trojan horse that enables gays to demand that every reference to marriage in law, every school text book, every discussion of marriage in the media include the gay option. By giving govt sanction to homo marriage they can force the gay agenda into every aspect of american society.
Homosexuals are losing because of the simple fact of they won't shut up about it and it is upsetting many people.
IMO, there doesn't need to be a law about this. If homosexuals would just stop inflicting their lifestyle upon us and forcing us to adjust our lives for them, maybe they will get somewhere in the future.
I cannot stand affirmative action and all this PC crap. It is destroying the fabric of this country and our politicians are wusses and pander to this for contributions and votes.
I agree with everything you say except for the use of the word "gay." Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary defines gay as, "1: happily excited ; MERRY 2a : BRIGHT, LIVELY b: brilliant in color 3 : given to sexual pleasures; also LICENTIOUS" It doesn't mention the word as applying exclusively, or primarily, to homosexuals. In fact, they've robbed the word of its real primary meaning of "happily excited" with the explicit purpose of putting lipstick on the infected pig that is their "lifestyle." In referring to them we should simply use the term, "homosexual," which accurately and clinically describes them.
well said
Which is why they just won't shut up.
The French have a term for this: "épater le bourgeois". It mean to go out of one's way to do or say something simply for the sake that it shocks or upsets the [despised] middle class.
Homosexuals will sometime in the future look back at this time as their golden age. For now, they have won.
They have won the "right" to be open in their relationship without fear of reprisal (the weight of the government protects them) but they want more. It is the more that will bring this golden age to an end. And all things come to an end (no pun intended). When it does, they will wonder how they gained so much, and then lost everything.
A powerful government can make people accept things they do not like, but never like the things they must accept. Time is the enemy of the homosexual movement. If they wanted to convert this opportunity they have today to a more permanent situation, they should be working to mollify the majority, not antagonize them.
If they do not want to be in “the closet” they should have at least keep it in “the bedroom”. Most middle Americans have a live let live attitude, if homosexuals did not tell the world through their action, dress or what they say, we would not know, and would not care. But, it is not enough for some in the homosexual community to be left alone, they want the world to embrace and celebrate their life style choice. They want the world to pretend that two men are the same as a man and a woman. This is a bridge too far.
But the attacks on the social institution of a society is what will be their downfall. Most are not able to put into words what they feel about homosexuals, and would prefer to just not think about it at all. The homosexuals just will not let it be, like someone picking at a scab, they keep picking at society never allowing the injury to heal.
This is going to cause resentment and animosity where none may have existed before. It is like a pressure cooker without a safety valve. The government and big media do not allow any negative comments against homosexuals to go unpunished. Without a safety valve, the pressure will build until there is an explosion.
What some do not seem to understand, what ever a court gives, another court can take away. By wining victories via judges, and not by acceptance of the citizens, they sat themselves up for a time when the judges may rule against them. Then who will they turn to for help, the people, not likely.
This is only a battle in a much longer war. We are losing as long as the left controls the schools. Give them another ten years of brainwashing and they'll get it done.
When this issue was on the ballot here in Texas, I saw more people at my polling place than ever before, even for presidential elections. The amendment defining marriage as between a man and woman pased by approx. 70% here.
Personally - I'm libertarian on this. If the gay people (who happen to be great folks) I know were to get married today, the sun would still rise tomorrow. If you want to get serious about familial harm to children - take a hard look at divorce.
Yeah, I'm sure it would. But on what?
Good for you.
That is why "gay marriage" and Diversity Training in public schools are indispensable for Republican hold on power. Read my tagline.
Not necessarily. Kids have some normal instincts and given a little advice by parents they can resist propaganda. Commies failed to create a New Soviet Man, so will Diversity activists. Nature will reassert itself in the long run.
They propose that this country cast aside a principle that nobody's ever been ashamed of (neither in it's present or historical definition) and chance it all on a whim. They've got a real good feeling about it and we're just hanging on too hard. All for the sake of a relative handful of frustrated sisters who really, really need to feel better about themselves.
Worst of all, people who should know better, most Americans, have given undue and unearned credibility and respectability to this warped logic. Shame on us.
