The Circus Never Ends

...and here we go again. 60% of California voters voted for Proposition 8 in 2008, which re-enforced marriage between a man and a woman. This is the second vote on this subject in less then 10 years, with the outcome being the same, no same sex marriage. Yet I am already hearing about polls that show Californians would vote it in today. Polls were taken prior to the two votes that showed Californians were open to same sex marriage, yet both votes showed different. So here is just another group, much like islam in America, that demands special rights and privileged status.
When I talk about freedom slowly being eroded, this is what I am talking about. Small groups who demand special status and if they don't get it they will litigate until the opposition either capitulates or is out of money to defend itself. The amount of money spent on these litigations is perverse. The fact that groups like this don't care about the financial impact this is having on their communities is as bad as their lack of understanding that in a free society, that bases laws on the vote of the people, when the vote is over the people have spoken, period. The people said no, the gay and lesbian community cannot accept this, so they will strain the people, the courts and themselves to see their selfish ideals through.
I understand that gays and lesbians have had a tough journey through life, with the name calling, the insinuations, the cruel and callous people they have encountered in their lives. As a believer in love and forgiveness I can only imagine how tough it has been for them. Having said that, this is their journey, and their journey has taken them here. Here is California, where 60% of the voters said no to same sex marriage. If you don't like the outcome, show the voting people of California that they should change their minds through deeds, lobbying, educational events etc, not morally and financially expensive litigation. I personally do not believe in same sex marriage, but if the people allow it, hey this is a secular nation( although grounded on Judeo-Christian principles) if the people say OK, well then OK. Render unto the gays and lesbians what the people say! Up until now the people have said no.
Where will this all end? Ultimately with the destruction of a free and pluralistic society. No it won't be the gay and lesbians fault, although they are making their contribution. Our freedom will be taken away by our continued back peddling from the truth. The truth is that as a society we are now tolerating the intolerable to prove we are tolerant, which will lead to our demise. Gays and lesbians are not destroying our nation alone, their approach is being used by many other minority groups who demand our society accommodate them. The United States are slowly fracturing under the constant pressure from small groups of people seeking special status. Being in America, with its' freedom is not good enough for some groups. I would suggest they take a breath and think about where they would have it better.
