Taking a Break from the News and Hate

This is a volital time, and as important as it is for the GLBT community to step up our efforts in order to gain equal rights, it is also important for us to step back once in a while, take a deep breath, and be thankful for all that we have.  It’s also important to stop and smell the roses once in a while.  With all that’s so ugly in this world, there is still plenty of beauty, and it still remains important for us to take time to appreciate it.

The Broken Family & Why Churches Fear Gay Marriage

While conservative churches are busy trying to whip up another round of culture wars over same-sex marriage, Rodriquez says the real reason for their panic lies elsewhere: the breakdown of the traditional heterosexual family and the shifting role of women in society and the church itself. As the American family fractures and the majority of women choose to live without men, churches are losing their grip on power and scapegoating gays and lesbians for their failures.

Argument 5: Homosexuality is a Coice/Immoral

The reasoning of the rightist argument that homosexuals should have unequal protection under the law finds refuge in the notion that homosexuality is somehow a choice – the same way that stealing or lying is a choice. They are each immoral, and we shouldn’t reward immoral behavior. So gays should not be extended the right to marry (or the same protections under the law generally).

What if homosexuality is a choice? Isn’t religion also a choice? As an American, I have inherited the right to define my own humanity. A Christian rightist can define their humanity by choosing not to be gay. But they make that choice for religious reasons. Why should my rights be restricted for making a different choice? Would Christian rightists legislate restricting the rights of Jews, Muslims, or Scientologists? No such legislation would be allowed under the First Amendment.

I contend that the First Amendment binds the government to respect and protect our religious choices. As sexual preference can be a religious choice, the government must under the first amendment respect and protect the sexual preference we choose.
