You people are silly (and I mean it in the sense of frivolous and unserious, i.e., a silly mistake). Let’s play the triumphalism game and look beyond the next two or three decades.
Demography is destiny, after all. And the people who support gay marriage are not reproducing. They are leftists with a fertility rate of near zero. And it is near zero precisely because they are pro-abortion, pro-contraception, pro-homosex., etc. etc. They are aborting and contracepting and sodomizing themselves and one another into oblivion. Because evil is always its own undoing.
The kinds of orthodox Christians who turn out in droves to support anti-gay “marriage” measures have fertility rates through the roof, by contrast. You don’t even have to go to an SSPX or FSSP chapel to find a family of half a dozen kids or more. They are all over the place, in the more devout parts of the country. Again, I compare any number of my Catholic friends to any of my radical leftist acquaintances, with their soft spot for state-subsidized perversity, and the numbers are simply going the wrong way for you all. My devoutly Catholic friends are badly outnumbered, but they’re having 4, 5, 6 or more kids each. My far-more-numerous leftist friends have a total combined fertility of ZERO. Bagel. There isn’t a single child between the lot of them. Most of them will probably die without children given that they hate them and wouldn’t dream of detracting from their plans for getting a master’s in poetry and backpacking through Europe to have even one baby.
Granted, the leftist establishment is very good at seizing and converting Christians, first in public school, then in universities, then in PC-addled corporate and government work environments. That’s what they’re relying on to carry this legacy forward: the fact that they have gotten very good at indoctrinating other people’s kids, with their own complicity. But all these things are dependent on an endless stream of taxpayer money that is drying up as the economy continues to deflate and debt-based money meets its grisly and mathematically inevitable end. The elaborate framework built up which gave birth to this ludicrous movement approximately five minutes ago is *collapsing *and there is nothing that any of you have the power to do to arrest these trends.
Seriously, where is this magical long-term-future pro-gay “marriage” consensus going to come from? You all certainly aren’t going to birth it, considering you won’t make the sacrifices necessary to bear enough kids to carry your legacy forward. How are you going to corrupt our children, then, since that’s your only other option? Through the universities we’re not going to be going to once the debt bubble collapses and emphasis begins shifting again toward trades and away from womyn’s studies and underwater bean farming? Through the mainstream media no one listens to or believes in? Through spiritual osmosis or something?
Granted, the difference in fertility is going to take two, three, or four generations or more before it catches up. Our position is similar to that of the devout Christians in the early Roman empire, a tiny and (soon-to-be, in our case) persecuted minority. But guess what – 300 years later and those devout Christians were running the show, and the idols of the pagan gods lay smashed in the streets. And it happened because the Christians were the ones having kids while the Romans cannibalized their young and entertained every perverse lust that flitted across their frontal lobes. Because evil is always its own undoing.
It’s going to take a while, but it’s going to happen. It can’t not happen. Homosexuality-enthusiasts and their hangers-on in the collapsing sectors of Christendom (e.g., mainline Protestantism and heterodox Catholicism) simply aren’t reproducing and for that reason, your beliefs come with an expiration date. How long can institutional support for this sort of meritless nonsense last when its committed enemies are outbreeding its supporters by a ratio of like 5:1? Or 10:1? A few generations, maybe?
The Romans had on their side the fact that their leaders had steel in their guts and were willing to try to genocide the Christians out of existence. I have no doubt you guys will try (you have before, after all), but you’re not worthy opponents of us. There isn’t a Marcus Aurelius among you. I doubt there’s even a Stalin; whatever else is true of liberalism, it’s not good at producing alpha males. So you’ll bring out the knives and bear your fangs and we will go singing to our martyrdoms with joyous hearts by the hundreds and we will still outlast you. We’ve done it before, against greater odds and far more dangerous people than you misfits. And if you don’t, your end will just come that much quicker. And when it does human nature will reassert itself and your little experiments in gnosticism will end, and future generations (none of which will be descended from you, natch) will detest you for your pride and indecency. And gay “marriage” and every other non sequitur you invent in the meantime will slide down the rat hole like the moral and historical anomaly it is. Because evil is always its own undoing.
I think this is the right decision.
