I thought I was done with these op-ed pieces, but then I stumbled across Gene Weingarten’s Washington Post column, Below the Beltway, from this past Sunday.
But perhaps the best argument for why gay marriage is a grave threat to America is historical. Historically, when a society begins to condone decadence and licentiousness, it collapses like a souffle in an earthquake. The nations that survive and prosper and become world powers are the ones that adhere to strict moral codes, like Yemen, Djibouti, Myanmar, and that one with all the goats.

If we allow gay people to have state-recognized committed relationships, then the terrorists have won.

You will be thrilled to hear that the Church of England is considering allowing its clergy to take part in civil same sex marriages - but only if they promise the bishop that they will not be having sex!!!!!!!!
I don’t even know where to begin with this!! Are they saying its ok to be gay, sort of, as long as you don’t, you know, DO IT? How are they going to enforce it? Is the bishop going to make unannounced calls to the clergy in question at all hours of the day or night to check there’s no ‘rumpy-pumpy’ taking place. What is the issue here? Surely its either ‘being gay’ in the first place, or its not - if its sex outside marriage (the current excuse) then say so. But, come on!!!! Please.
