Homosexuals test Texas’ constitutional amendment defining marriage

Texans, by an overwhelming margin, passed a constitutional amendment that at one time would have seemed utterly oxymoronic – it defined marriage as being strictly between one man and one woman.  But fresh from their recent victories in many states, where marriage has been redefined and, in essence, destroyed by legislative action, and of course their Supreme Court victory where any opposition to the destruction of marriage was seen as being nothing but bigotry and hatred, homosexuals are now going after a big kahuna.  Two couples are suing the state, claiming its constitution is, uh…….unconstitutional:

Two gay couples have filed a federal lawsuit for the right to marry in Texas–one of 29 states with a constitutional amendment to prevent same-sex marriage……

……The two couples listed as plaintiffs in the case—Marc Pharriss and Vic Holmes and Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman—are suing the state for violating the the right to marry under the U.S. Constitution, which they argue trumps state law.  [It’s amazing all these “rights” that eminate from the penumbras…….now there is a “right” to marry?  Statistically speaking, given the “divorce” rate among homosexuals, it is highly likely neither couple will still be pretend married in 10 years.  Then there is also the sham “monogamy,” which really means the very opposite.]

“We’ve talked numerous times of getting married and going to one of the states that allows gay marriage,” Pharriss told the San Antonio Express-News. “The problem with that is we have no legal rights when we return.”

…..The lawsuit goes on to state, “There is no rational basis, much less a compelling government purpose, for Texas to deny plaintiffs the same right to marry enjoyed by the majority of society.”

Only someone decoupled from God and His Law could make such a statement.  Marriage between man and woman, oriented always towards procreation of children (something biologically impossible for homosexual couples), has been the bedrock of society for thousands of years. Once the protestants embraced contraception, the wheels of society flew off until we now have a world where most people really cannot understand why two people of the same sex with depraved lusts for who love each other cannot be married.

Almost all protestants (who make up the large majority of what remains of Christians in this nation) have great difficulty putting together an argument against homosexual simulation of marriage, because they themselves support contraceptive use and liberal divorce laws, the factors that led to the collapse in the practice of heterosexual marriage and the family.  As Fr. Rodriguez and others have said, and as I have always agreed, we will see homosexual marriage recognized by hook or crook in all 50 states within a few years.  It will be done by popular will, judicial fiat, or executive mandate, but it will happen.  Then will come the trying times, as folks like you and me are faced with either biting our tongues off, callously giving in, or suffering harsh persecution for our “hateful bigotry and intolerance.”

I advise strong bouts of prayer and periods of fasting in preparation.  Pray for each other, that we all may not flee for the wolves.
