The Beginning Battle

By

Roger Behra

The months of July and August in California were full of suspense, expectation, disappointment, and joy pertaining to court decisions regarding same-sex marriage and Proposition 8 that bands such marriages in California. The court trial took place in July, and two decisions were given in August.

On August 10, 2010, the first court decision ruled the Prop. 8 ban was unconstitutional, but the judge put a 6 day stay on same-sex marriages pending an appeal. Meanwhile, the pro Prop. 8 lawyers appealed to the 9 the 9th U.S. Circuit Court. On August 16th the 9th U.S. Circuit Court continued the stay until mid-December, 2010.

Thankfully, there was mostly joy so far in this matter, and it was among the California voters who realize their votes are still in effect and that same-sex marriage is unnatural, sinful, and alters the true meaning of marriage. Hopefully, down the line of legal maneuvering
and decisions the. Prop. 8 ban will become permanent and legal.

The Proposition 8 ban is absolutely necessary for several good reasons. First of all, the sanctity of marriage between a man and women must prevail. Same-sex marriage would be a mockery of that. God does not want any kind of mockery of the sacrament of marriage. If same-sex marriage was good and wholesome, it would have been included during His ministry hare on earth. It was not.

Secondly, a man marrying another man or a woman marrying another woman is completely unorthodox, and it is in keeping with the counterculture philosophy of throwing out the old traditions and bringing in the new ones. And it looks very much like gays want to legally justify their unnatural and sinful sexual behavior. They want to ease their consciences with a legal piece of paper in the eyes of society. Gay sexual behavior is an abomination and repulsive under any conditions. Period. It is not called same-sex for the lack of better words.

Thirdly, the push by gays and other counterculture clueless people who want the true meaning of traditional marriage to be distorted cannot get it through their thick skulls that just because something can be done it does not mean that it should be done. Same-sex marriage violates God’s plan for marriage. Same-sex marriage violates established tradition. Same-sex marriage would legally condone gravely sinful behavior. Same-sex marriage is total distortion in so many ways as it greatly blurrs the line between what is acceptable and not acceptable and what is right and wrong. Proposition 8 must prevail in California. It supports God’s law of morality. It supports the votes of ever seven million people and by a 54% to 48% vote outcome, and the U.S. court systems have no right to scuttle God’s law and the morally correct thinking and decision of millions of people who support God’s law, morality, and sacred tradition.
