We saw in the US
recently how same-sex marriage is being used to clobber traditional marriage
supporters and smash basic freedoms of speech and conscience.
At an ‘LGBTQ Town
Hall’ event broadcast by CNN, presidential hopefuls were falling
over themselves to flash their ‘progressive’ credentials.
Candidate Beto
O’Rourke unflinchingly declared that churches, colleges and charities should
lose their tax-exempt status if they opposed same-sex marriage: “There can be
no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone or any institution, any
organisation in America that denies the full human rights and the full civil
rights of every single one of us.”
One of the
biggest cheers of the evening came when candidate Elizabeth Warren mocked
believers in traditional marriage. Asked how she would respond to a supporter
who approached her to say their faith teaches that marriage is between one
man and one woman, she quipped: “Well, I’m going to assume it’s a guy who
said that and I’m going to say, ‘Then just marry one woman. I’m cool with
that – assuming you can find one.’”
Scotland First Minister Nicola
Sturgeon joined in, tweeting her approval of the mean-spirited
put-down.
As we so often
see, tolerance only goes one way as far as self-styled ‘progressives’ are
concerned.
Equality and
anti-discrimination legislation is being weaponised against those who hold to
the traditional definition of marriage.
Leaders need to
remember that human rights and basic liberties are for everyone, including
those who believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.
If the Democrats
should win the PRESIDENTIAL Election I would imagine we would be saying God
Help America rather than God bless. From Nancy Pelosi downwards the Democrats seem to oppose traditional values, and in an unpleasant way.
