Redefining marriage is a hollow and dangerous “victory”

The "victory" of the homosexual marriage lobby
is as much a hatred toward traditions that made
this country strong. 

If you look at Facebook, or Disqus' comments over gay marriage, it's supporters are aggressively

taunting the people who do not agree with them.

Liberals and Democrats are not taking their “victory” with grace.

South Carolina, after a valiant fight to defend the people finally fell victim - Tuesday - to a small gaggle of political political special interests. 

Activist judges in the Federal Fourth Circuit Court gave government endorsement to marriage to people who define themselves by their sexual practices.

So-called "legal" gay marriages can begin Wednesday. 

So many of the hateful and offensive comments, for those not in favor of redefining marriage, are from bigots who hate Christians. Others claim that now they can love or marry whoever they want. They had those options before there was an assault on traditional marriage.

The thrill for the pro-gay lobby seems to be spiking the football.

So many times the media bases its success on getting a person fired or removed from office.

It seems the homosexual lobby's intent was simply to tear down an institution that has served as a foundation to make this country strong.

In the end, one winner was SC AG Alan Wilson. He fought the redefining of marriage until the end. Gov. Nikki Haley was also on the right side.

Both secured political backing by fighting for the will of almost 80 percent of South Carolinians. That is how many did not want to see the definition of marriage changed.

In the long run we'll have to do whatever we can to soften the impact, and harm, redefining marriage will have on us. And it still may end up at the US Supreme Court, where it could be overturned.

Also: the homosexual population is only from two-to-three percent of the population. And a lot of practitioners in that lifestyle are not keen on monogamy. Therefore, after the novelty wears off, the actual influence of the law change will be minimal.

But the impact it has on our culture, when special interest can tear down an institution, is substantial.

Let the homosexual community, and their band of liberal Democrats celebrate. But like so many things of the flesh, and not spiritual, the “victory” will be short-lived, while the damage caused is indelible.

If you want to call this a “win” for anything, it is a win for the further weakening of our society.

But it is a hollow accomplishment indeed.
