"We've shown that truth and fairness and justice and love are more powerful than one man's veto pen," ~
Gay Advocate Beth Robinson (pictured crying center) 4/7/2009 Montpeilier, VT
The Legislature of the state of Vermont overrode the Governor's veto against homosexual marriage by a two thirds majority of both the House(100-49) and Senate (23-5) and has now ordained marriages between gays and lesbians as the law of the state. Although New Hampshire and Maine are on the way, Vermont is the first state to introduce gay marriage through legislative action. Vermont joined Iowa, whose State Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, made gay marriage the law of the land on Friday April, 3rd 2009 (now on furlough due to budget cuts) That case had been circulating through the courts since 2005.
Vermont and Iowa join both Massachusetts and Connecticut as the only four states in the American Union of States (aka United States of America) to sanction gay marriage. There are a host of other states that are considering civil unions or domestic partnerships which are 1 to 2 steps away from gay and homosexual marriage but are certainly steps in a favorable direction of the gay rights movement. So far as President Obama's backyard (ie:the nations capital) Reuters reports:
- "Washington D.C. extended new rights to gay couples on Tuesday [4/7/2009], too, with a unanimous City Council vote to recognize same-sex marriages performed outside the district. Some city lawmakers lauded the move as a prelude to legal same-sex marriage in the U.S. capital."
The Nations Capital??? Concerning the Iowa victory, please note the jubilation of attorney Richard Socarides a former Clinton Senior Advisor on gay rights:
- "It's a big win because, coming from Iowa, it represents the mainstreaming of gay marriage. And it shows that despite attempts stop gay marriage through right wing ballot initiatives, like in California, the courts will continue to support the case for equal rights for gays,"
Concerning the Vermont Legislatures decision, consider former gay House Representative Robert Dostis who had this to say at the news:
- "It's been a very long battle. It's been almost 20 years to get to this point," Dostis said. Then speaking of his 25 year live in lover Chuck Kletecka, he says, "I think finally, most people in Vermont understand that we're a couple like any other couple. We're as good and as bad as any other group of people. And now I think we have a chance to prove ourselves here on forward that we're good members of our community."
All of this is shades of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (Y'u-know that document that the Church Of God In Christ endorses and has endorsed? In case you didn't, just read HERE and HERE) Which is clearly and unequivocally stated by gay rights organizations and advocates as the backbone or foundation of the gay rights movement both nationally and internationally. The declaration, without singling out or excluding any particular group of individuals allows "human rights" for "sexual minorities" among other classes of individuals. For those who don't already know, the UDHR calls for the world to standardize policies for individuals who claim that they been discriminated against, in every United Nations member country and around the world. (Ooh yea, the cat's out of the bag now, and I won't let it just die and go away, because there are significant implications of a church endorsement of this document.)
Who Are The Playas, Pushas and Pawns?
In Iowa, it's Lambda Legal, a New York-based gay rights organization. They filed a lawsuit on behalf of six gay and lesbian Iowa couples who were denied marriage licenses. According to the Associated Press report, some of their children were also listed as plaintiffs. Why would children be listed as plaintiffs in an adult homosexual discrimination case?
Well, this is the same Lambda Legal who was featured in our article, "Are 'Human Rights' 'Gay Rights'? Pt. 2" who have produced, encouraged and promoted ALLY Week that promotes "safe" school environments by encouraging non-gay individuals to stand in defence of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons in and at the school level. These networks also focus on the re-education and indoctrination of children into greater understandings and acceptance of LGBT individuals no matter what values a parent teaches their children at home. All of that is a product of the National Education Association who in 2007 adopted 3 no-vote executive session recommendations on sexual orientation to implement in public school agenda. The 3 recommendations were:
- "Develop public and member support" for the "creation, amendment and/or passage of federal hate crimes legislation" that the recommendation says "protects members and students from harassment or discrimination based on sexual orientation."
- "Expand the GLBT web page on the NEA website to include all resources devoted to GLBT issues, including but not limited to training, strategies for collective bargaining, legislation and policy, and the legal rights of education employees and students." Another portion of the recommendation asked that "NEA develop training standards for the appropriate inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression issues in NEA trainings."
- "Advocate for more fully incorporating sexual orientation and gender identity/expression within National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education standards and principles."The committee set its sights on the standards set by NCATE in hopes of someday requiring teacher candidates to undergo diversity training related to sexual orientation.
The implications of all this are clear. The family has been redefined and morality shifted to those values that are not objectively based but are only subjectively based on whims and self desires. The church in it's desire to attract, a greater panacea of individuals, has become confused and staggered in an intoxicated stupor awaiting the next program or feel good event to resolve issues and make things "right as rain". I am afraid that the church has failed to reinforce and stand for the value system of the word within their communities. As a church our apolitical stance has allowed ungodly executives and legislators to reign and ungodly judges to proliferate their ungodly and anti-God value systems. Many of our ministers only want to be known by the President, Governor, Mayor, and other local official but do not wish to address anything of significance or substance or call those officials to godly and righteous accountability. We have reverted to "guest list" salvation where we are proud to take the high seats in public gatherings but live in the low seats and gutters of immorality and self preservation. We've stood for more money and popularity but who has stood for the word and righteousness?
It should further be no surprise that the first group effected by this set massacre of morality, is and would be the black community. Why and how? Our homes have been exposed due to lack of leadership. Men have been taken from the home by the droves through drugs, incarceration and immoral sexual practices and disease and bad choices. That has left a burden on women, grandparents and school officials who seek to provide moral substance to a generation that is seemingly destined and bent on shattering HELL right down the middle. The penile system has incarcerated black men at a rate of over 50% of all incarcerations annually. AIDS and HIV has ravaged the black community to the tune of over 50% of all new cases reported annually and over 65% of all young adult cases. This leaves a gap and a moral outcry from both the young and old of the black community wondering why and how we got into such a devastating condition.
Then there's the church, who has only thought about it's next offering or building plan program, and has left the family exposed. The daughter and son have been left open to molestation by the gay and lesbian minister of music, and musicians. Ministers have left our daughters who were once holy, seeking abortions as contraception to cover preachers and deacon's sins. The minister that has been afraid to speak up for fear of the board's decision has been "whipped" by popularity and social acceptance into submitting to the devil and leaving the ministry mission unattended. The members of the church who have supposedly been "waiting on the Lord" while the church and its leadership engages in more ungodliness with the endorsement of the HOLY TITHE that is represent weekly is equally to blame as the sinners that lead them. In short silent endorsement has allowed the innocent to actually partake in the sins of these ungodly self-promoting pimps and prostitutes that claim to have a word from the Lord and lead the people of God into HELL.
It is inevitable, the law of the land has changed. As the atheist Borg (Star Trek) chant "Resistance Is Futile!" the church can only REPENT for allowing sleep to come upon it in such an important time as this. it must RETURN back to God in hopes that he will stem this tide of unrighteousness, that has come upon us. The products are a rampant rise in atheism because our bible studies have been of no substance. A new and worse type of immorality, because we have made profit , gain, and association from sons who have no identity and daughters who have chosen material over character. The church has allowed ungodliness to not only sit in the church but direct, dress and control the church. This all MUST be judged by the righteous and holy God that he is. This WILL be judged by the righteous and holy God that he is. You'll find me on my knees asking HIM to help and forgive me!
2 Chron. 7:14-16 ~ "14-If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15-Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16-For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually."
Tell you what...I don't know if Coke is doing any better, but I'm not trying to have another Pepsi...
