of marriage on its citizens: homosexual ‘marriages’ now have legal
approval and will happen by month’s end.
The law affirms the messages of homosexual advocates who say that the
sexual union of homosexual pairs is as natural and moral as that of a
married husband and wife, and that children don’t need a mom and a
dad.
......................................................................................................................................
But the damage doesn’t stop there. From the homosexual perspective,
two lesbians, two homosexual men or indeed any combination of
transgendered adults can parent as effectively as a family headed up
by a mom and dad (a view the Obama administration supports.) (No
matter that a child naturally longs for both a dad and a mom or has
developmental needs that can only be met by an opposite-gender parent.
The child’s needs don’t come first.)
And marriage, redefined to include homosexuals, is now open to further
redefinition to suit the homosexual lifestyle. Just a week after the
New York law passed, the New York Times ran a piece promoting the
practice of “flexible” monogamy, or infidelity with permission—a
common practice in ‘committed’ homosexual relationships. The thesis?
It ‘works’ for the homosexual community, so heterosexuals should try
it too.
The cultural elites may break out the champagne for their homosexual
friends, but their celebration raises a toast to a sinking ship.
Societies that legitimize substitutes for traditional marriage
(homosexual ‘marriage,’ civil unions, cohabitation) inevitably witness
the decline of authentic marriage. And as marriage declines, family
structures weaken, producing cracks in the bedrock of a stable
society.
The result? Children suffer. The research is clear: children raised
without a married mom and dad do worse on nearly every measure of
child well-being. They are more likely to be truant, struggle in
school, get arrested, or use drugs or alcohol. They suffer inwardly
too. Author Elizabeth Marquardt writes movingly of the spiritual and
emotional pain of children raised in fatherless homes and conceived by
sperm donors (the only option for lesbian couples.) Their pain
persists far into adulthood, affecting their own adult relationships.

How to Save Your Family: Teach Your Children the Truth About Marriage
Homosexual advocates promote their messages—lies—about marriage and
sexuality through entertainment, media, and the public schools. And
their propaganda has hit the mark with many young people. Seventy
percent of young adults 18-34 now support legalizing homosexual
‘marriage.’
Be unequivocal with your children. This is not about “fairness” or
“equality.” It’s about morality and the strength of civil society.
Homosexual behavior is wrong. And homosexual relationships are not
equivalent to heterosexual marriages, no matter what the New York
legislature says.

Get involved. The National Organization for Marriage and Dr. James
Dobson's Family Talk lead the battle to protect traditional marriage.
Get the facts and learn the arguments that help others see the truth
on this issue at www.MyFamilyTalk.com. Donate, pray, and work on
campaigns that protect traditional marriage.
Finally, speak up. Family and friends are the strongest influencers of
others’ opinions. Don’t be silent when others express support for the
homosexual lifestyle or homosexual unions. Unless we are willing to
stand up for marriage, our children may grow up in a society slowly
crumbling under the weight of its own perversity.
