Thank you Jim G - a great article and articulately written. . . a nice little injection of Hope.
As GEddie points out, no matter what parents may presently think/desire, the governments (at least ours - north of the 49th) have by and large been effectively manipulated into becoming that club which the LGBT lobby wields to beat all impressionable minds - particularly the youngest ones, into submitting to their ideological fables.
And as the author Rachel Lu points out, pornography is another a major contributor to the wave of “unleashed sexual appetite” upon which not only the LGBT ride , but also in which many of our heterosexual brothers and sisters both old and young, married and unmarried, get swept up.
This would suggest to me that the
change - barring some form of divine intervention, may not be something too imminent, nor something that would happen overnight. So prayer will always be essential.
I was encouraged by another piece linked in the article :
Loveless,Narcissistic Sex Addicts: A Gay Man Critiques His Community
As things now stand, this could well be one of the first pillars upon which the change will begin to build : the courage of self-professed gays who admit, and insist, that despite their own sexual preferences, every child on this earth needs both a mother and father.
The voice of Dennis Altman, a professor at La Trobe University - one of the pioneers of gay rights, rose above the clamor some 10 years ago when he said that the
“whole push for gay marriage was a load of self-indulgent cr*p”
And -
“Labor Senator and Climate Change Minister Penny Wong is openly gay and she also opposes same sex marriage,” reports SBS World News Australia. But – preach the gay activists – this is an unacceptable position.
While in the more public fora, one cannot help but admire the courage of the openly gay fashion legends Dolce and Gabbana, who spoke out eralier in March of this year :
We oppose gay adoptions,” the two told the Italian magazine Panorama. “The only family is the traditional one.”
“You are born to a mother and a father – or at least that’s how it should be,” Dolce said.
“The family is not a fad. In it, there is a supernatural sense of belonging,” Gabbana added.
The fashion duo expressed their vehement opposition to IVF, a technology that homosexual couples use to have children.
“No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed,” they said.
Dolce said he opposed changing nature to create “children of chemistry, synthetic children, uteri for rent, semen chosen from a catalog.”
The article from which those quotes were taken is entitled
Elton John urges boycott after gay designers Dolce and Gabbana come out against gay ‘marriage,’ adoption
Anyone who may not be too familiar with the story, might not have known that after Dolce and Gabbana made their statement public, Elton John subsequently went on a rant against them vociferating : " How dare you refer to my beautiful children as ‘synthetic.’ "
. . . Can’t help but wonder whether Elton may have missed the memo on this one. . .
. . . after all, it may be science (embryology) , but it isn’t rocket science. Any way you slice it, it can still be reduced to one simple sentence:
**Honor your father and your mother.
**
Not, honor your father, your fake dad and your test tube and forget the womb of your receptacle (sure sounds “synthetic”)
or Honor your mother and her -]wife/-] um, -]spouse/-] , um -]state sanctioned partner/-] oh well, they know what we mean - even if we and much of the LGBT community aren’t exactly clear on what* they* mean.
I find it easy to pray for people like Dennis Altman, Dolce and Gabbana. Perhaps with enough prayer , many more of those who identify as LGBT might find the voice to speak up in favor/defense of the family, as well.
Why not ?
Doesn’t change usually come from within first ?
