My Opinion on the Supreme Court Ruling of Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage
If
you are looking for a post in favor of the Supreme Court ruling on same sex
marriage, look elsewhere. Throughout, history the LGBT movement has always told
us what their next move is. The LGBT movement will ask for legalization and
acceptance of one aspect of their lives
always saying they won’t ask for more.
Once they receive what they ask for, then they ask for more.
-For example: in the 1980’s legalize public
gay-sex but we will not ask to legalize same-sex civil unions. Then, after some
years later it was, legalize civil unions but we will not ask for same-sex
marriage. Now it is legalizing same-sex
marriage, but we will not sue churches who will not perform same-sex marriage.
When, already we have examples of people suing Christian churches and Christian
business who do not believe in same-sex marriages.
-This is why I stand by my faith statement:
-The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints
Ø “The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acknowledges that following today’s ruling by
the Supreme Court, same-sex marriages are now legal in the United States. The
Court’s decision does not alter the Lord’s doctrine that marriage is a union
between a man and a woman ordained by God. While showing respect for those who
think differently, the Church will continue to teach and promote marriage
between a man and a woman as a central part of our doctrine and practice.”
-I will stand by any other faith’s beliefs
that are similar to my faith:
-Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations
of America
Ø “In response to
the decisions announced today by the United States Supreme Court with reference
to the issue of legal recognition of same sex marriage, we reiterate the
historical position of the Jewish faith, enunciated unequivocally in our Bible,
Talmud and Codes, which forbids homosexual relationships and condemns the
institutionalization of such relationships as marriages. Our religion is
emphatic in defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. Our
beliefs in this regard are unalterable. At the same time, we note that Judaism
teaches respect for others and we condemn discrimination against individuals.”
In
conclusion, I would be ok with the ruling by the Supreme Court, if the LGBT
movement would stop at this point, but history has shown us the next step will
be to sue churches. I hope the LGBT movement will prove me wrong.
