BEGINNING OF AN AGENDA

"What's wrong with adult-child sex?"

"What's wrong with adult-child sex?" the college student asked me, "We read in an American Psychological Association report that it could be beneficial for children."

Thus began the Q & A session of my talk "Preserving the Traditional Marriage" at the Indiana University, home of the Kinsey Institute. It became clear that "gay marriage" was not the end, but the beginning of an agenda to change our entire cultural.

The ACLU, for example, is not only defending NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association), which advocates the removal of all laws against incest, prostitution and age of consent, the ACLU is also working to remove laws against polygamy.

If what was unimaginable a generation ago is reality today, where will America be a generation from now? Group marriages? Mixed marriages, Children as sex toys?

Don't think it can't happen.

For 5,000 years overwhelming majority of the civilized world has defined marriage as one man and one woman.

Indeed, the Republican Party defended marriage in its original 1856 platform, eliminating "those two relics of barbarism - slavery and polygamy."

The Supreme Court in Murphy v. Ramsey (1885) wrote:

"Certainly no legislation can be supposed more wholesome...than that which seeks to establish it on the basis of the family, as consisting in and springing from the union for life of one man and one woman in the holy estate of matrimony."

In an interview with Diane Sawyer, President Bush said:

"I will support a constitutional amendment which would honor marriage between a man and a woman."
In disbelief at the liberal agenda embraced by these Indiana University students, I continued with statistics showing 300% greater incidents of child abuse in homosexual households versus traditional marriage homes.

I asked this student if he thought individuals exist who desire to
sexually abuse children and wouldn't they be tempted to adopt.

I asked him who is going to police to make sure pedophiles don't adopt. He said that would be impossible.

"Exactly my point," I answered, "it would be impossible. There would be no way to protect children from sexual predators if homosexuals were allowed to marry and adopt."

If gay marriage were allowed, in time we would see that the real losers would be innocent, vulnerable children.
No one is telling homosexuals what they can or cannot do with each other in the privacy of their own homes, but it seems irresponsible for homosexuals to force the rest of the country into social chaos.

President Theodore Roosevelt stated in his message to Congress, January 30, 1905:

"The institution of marriage is, of course, at the very foundation of our social organization, and all influences that affect that institution are of vital concern to the people of the whole country."
