COUNTERFEIT MARRIAGE

COUNTERFEIT MARRIAGE
AND ITS COUNTERFEIT MOVEMENT

By: Matt Barber


With a unified voice amplified several million-fold through the ballot
box megaphone, African-Americans have spoken on the issues of
marriage, family and human sexuality. Whether young or old, male or
female, Democrat or Republican, blacks are justifiably fed up with the
deceptive antics of the self-described and craftily contrived "gay
rights movement."

For decades now, well-organized, well-funded and highly influential
"gay" political pressure groups have, with impertinence, hijacked the
language of the authentic civil rights movement. In what amounts to a
sort of soft racism, self-styled "queers" have disingenuously and
ignobly hitched their lil' lavender wagons to a movement which, by
contrast, is built upon the genuine and noble precepts of racial
equality and humanitarian justice.

An illegitimate offspring of the '60s sexual revolution, the
newfangled "gay rights" cult is today's postmodern, sex-centric cause
célèbre. Its core tenets include, among other things, mandated moral
relativism, social androgyny and forced acceptance of a pleasure-
based, though demonstrably destructive, lifestyle. Apart from
practitioners of "the sin that dare not speak its name," its devotees
are in large part institutional fringe elitists confined to blue-state
America who almost universally suffer the insufferable pangs of white
guilt.

Like an addict jonesing for a hit, they long for that rush of self-
righteous affirmation associated with belonging to something perceived
as larger than themselves. Central to the movement's success is the
ability to draft adherents who are easily manipulated through
superficial slogans, appeals to emotion via anecdotal parades of
horribles, and a mindless propensity to conform to nonconformity.

By drawing artificial parallels between the systematic persecution
experienced by blacks over centuries past to the inherent aversion
most have toward biologically unnatural, traditionally immoral and
objectively perverse sexual behaviors, the homosexual lobby
trivializes and diminishes the African-American struggle for civil
rights. It's dishonest and offensive for people who choose to define
their identity based upon aberrant sexual proclivities to compare
sexual temptation and volitional sexual conduct to immutable and
innocuous biological traits such as skin color.

"Don't compare your sin to my skin," goes the African-American mantra.
Or, as influential black pastor Ken Hutcherson notes, "It has been
said loudly and proudly that gay marriage is a civil rights issue. If
that's the case, then gays would be the new African-Americans. I'm
here to tell you now, and hopefully for the last time, that the gay
community is not the new African-American community."




Understandably, blacks want all this nonsense to stop. Exit polls
indicate that in the Democratic stronghold of "left coast" California,
African-Americans – 96 percent of whom voted for Barack Obama – also
voted to pass California's marriage protection amendment (Prop 8) by
an overwhelming 70 to 30 percent. As luck would have it, the
unprecedented turnout of black voters for Obama very likely tipped the
scale and restored the enduring definition of natural marriage to the
Golden State. This has made "gay" activists mouth-foaming furious.

But black support for legitimate marriage and natural sexuality has
placed liberal elites in a real tight spot. They can either attack the
African-American community with the same vitriol and empty, ad hominem
rhetoric they've hurled at evangelical whites and other
traditionalists over the years, or they can ignore them entirely.

In the aftermath of Prop 8's passage, they've chosen option A.
Although one might find it incongruous to tag blacks – a community
intimately familiar with genuine discrimination and bigotry – with the
"gay" lobby's favorite monikers of "bigot," "hater" and "homophobe" –
homosexual activists are doing just that.

But they've slunk to the gutter deeper still. There have also been
widespread reports of homosexuals hurling the N-word and other
despicable racial epithets at blacks throughout California and
elsewhere.

Even more troubling – something the mainstream media refuse to cover –
are the many threats of violence against Christians and other
supporters of Prop 8 popping up on numerous homosexual websites and
elsewhere. Some homosexuals have even called for churches to be burned
to the ground. In California, some of those churches have already been
vandalized.

In a blog entry titled "You'll want to punch them" on Queerty.com,
poster "Billy Bob Thornton" wrote, "… I have never considered being a
violent radical extremist for our Equal Rights, But now I think maybe
I should consider becoming one." "Stenar" asked, "Can someone in CA
please go burn down the Mormon temples there, PLEASE. I mean
seriously. DO IT." And, "Jonathan," warned, "I'm going to give them
something to be f---ing scared of. … I'm a radical who is now on a
mission to make them all pay for what they've done."

Meanwhile, over at JoeMyGod.blogspot.com, "World O Jeff," said, "Burn
their f---ing churches to the ground and then tax the charred
timbers," while "Tread," wrote, "I hope the No on 8 people have a long
list and long knives." "Joe," stated, "I swear, I'd murder people with
my bare hands this morning."

And on the Americablog.com website, "scottinsf" posted, "Trust me.
I've got a big list of names of mormons and catholics (sic) that were
big supporters of Prop 8. … As far as mormons and catholics ... I warn
them to watch their backs."

And watch their backs they should. Here we have homosexuals both
inciting and directly threatening violence against Christians and
other supporters of Prop 8. This is not free speech; this is criminal
activity. Imagine if Christian websites were advocating such violence
against homosexuals. There'd be outrage, and rightfully so. It'd be
national front-page news.

But it gets worse yet. In recent days, there have been headline-making
"gay" riots marked by actual acts of violence against marriage
supporters. In one instance, an elderly woman was assaulted by an
angry "gay" mob. She was walking peacefully, carrying a large
Styrofoam cross when she was knocked about by enraged rioters. They
ripped the cross from her hands, threw it to the ground and stomped it
to tiny bits. The surreal ordeal was a live-action metaphor for the
"queer" rebellion against God's natural order and the hard left's not-
so-thinly-veiled hatred of Christianity.

Finally, even more recently it's been reported that a group of about
30 militant homosexuals attacked the Mount Hope Church in Lansing,
Mich. They reportedly pulled the fire alarm, stormed the pulpit
screaming "Jesus was a homo," waved condoms, kissed one another and
physically intimidated congregants in an attempt to provoke a violent
reaction. Of course, the mainstream media will report on none of this.
It doesn't fit the politically correct narrative. Homosexuals are the
victims, you see, not the victimizers.

But good has, and will, come from it all. The left's venomous reaction
to the passage of Prop 8 has showcased these people for who they truly
are. It has removed the sublime mask, revealing an ugly and desperate
countenance below. It has exposed the self-proclaimed agents of
"tolerance" and "diversity" as the most intolerant, hateful and
bigoted among us. It has revealed – as Scripture says of those trapped
in homosexual sin – that they are "[given] over to a reprobate mind."

Yes, the mask is off and so are the gloves. It'll likely get worse
before it gets better. But now is the time to stand firm ground.
Thousands of years of history, every major world religion and
uncompromising human biology have always had it right. Homosexual
behavior will always be wrong and "same-sex marriage" forever a
fantasy.

What God has cast asunder, let no man join together.
