The California Supreme Court was absolutely wrong in legalizing gay marriage. There are many reasons why.

Nation-wide, the population of same-sex couples averages just over 1%. In some parts of California, the percentage is as high as 7%. An overwhelming 61% majority of Californians voted in a 2000 referendum to ban same-sex marriages. Since then, Governor Schwarzenegger has twice vetoed proposals to legalize it.

Shouldn't the will of the people matter? Since when does the minority rule? Only when the courts allow it, and that's exactly what happened here. This is an example of an ever-increasing trend for courts to rule in favor of the extreme minority viewpoint, setting aside good law based upon a rogue interpretation of the constitution. In other words, it is "legislating from the bench".

The same is happening in Texas, where the laws against polygamy and child abuse are being set aside to return children to families where both parents admittedly have broken the law, and where ample evidence exists to prove that the entire sect forces children into marriage before the age of consent. A marriage photo of a 50 year old man with a 16 year old girl, multiple underage pregnant girls, accounts of abuses and horrors from women who left the sect, stories about "sister wives" and children having multiple mothers - how did a court action completely ignore existing laws?

The courts' sanctioning of the gay agenda is slowly chipping away at the fabric of our nation and our culture. With one precedent, hundreds of others follow. We grant special rights and privileges to 1% blocks of the population, and in no time, the majority finds their rights to not be exposed to the special interests of the minorities is over-ruled by the minorities themselves. As more and more of the majority are exposed to these special interests, the interests become institutionalized and more accepted. Children grow up with them as the norm, they accept them as the way it has always been, and resistance is defeated. This can happen in a single generation.

The order and makeup of life itself is contrary to gay marriage. It does not and never will perpetuate the human species. Homosexuality may have been around for hundreds of years as a mutation, but its longevity does not validate it. Its presence in the animal kingdom and the fact that it happens in both males and females; neither makes it natural. The only thing that does is acceptance of it.

That is what this is about acceptance, validation, normalization,
