Entry: Marriage, Freedom, Discrimination Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/marriage_freedom_discrimination#22006 Post contents: Jack, Unfortunately, they do indeed get "respect" of a sort. Large companies cover their "partner's" insurance needs and many become partners in legal or consulting firms, while others become teachers and tv reality show hosts and most get accepted as neighbors. Many may hold their noses and their tongues, but the "gay community" has made significant advances in forcing the rest of us in accepting the "normality" of their pathology. Now you are likely correct in so far as many/most clearly see their behavior for what it is - definitionally abnormal. But one the writers here is correct in saying that the school system will force it on children and the media blitz will continue to pound the message into the minds of the masses. There was a time not too long ago when they would never have been given a perch on television, much less a second thought in terms of "marriage". I would repeat my earlier statement in that the west's infatuation with democracy and ideological majoritarianism has a lot to do with this and other problems. Once the state was elevated above all other institutions in society and once that state apparatus was separated from a natural order of things (class and aristocracy) via marxism and liberalistic democracy, society was set upon a path of destruction. Given that there does not exist a trully independent and local media, and given that there does not exist a non-ideological, non-statist academe, and given that the church was removed from having a say in our "public" life, how can we expect to battle the blasphemy of gay "marriage" or any other moral depravity that the government now foists upon us?
