💭 Ugandan students from at least 13 universities take to the streets, protest against Joe Biden in front of their parliament, and sing, “We don’t want your pro-gay money. We want and love our country more than money.”
The protest was organized after US President Joe Biden threatens Uganda with sanctions over anti-gay Law.
💭 Uganda Passes Law That Will Impose The Death Penalty on LGBTQ+ People
💭 Members of parliament in Uganda have passed a bill that would make homosexual acts punishable by death.
Nearly all the 389 legislators voted on Tuesday for the anti-homosexuality bill that introduces capital and life imprisonment sentences for gay sex and ‘recruitment, promotion and funding’ of same-sex ‘activities’. The bill will now go to President Yoweri Museveni, who can veto it or sign it into law. But in a recent speech he appeared to express support for the bill. The bill marks the latest in a string of setbacks for LGBTQ+ rights in Africa, where homosexuality is illegal in most countries.

💭 Hundreds of Ugandan Sect Members Flee to Ethiopia, Fearing Doomsday
Leaders of sect convinced them that end of world is near and death is about to strike their area.
HUNDREDS of people belonging to a religious sect in eastern Uganda have fled from their villages to Ethiopia, Ugandan police said Sunday.
Police said that according to their investigations, the sect members fled to escape the end of the world, which they believe will start from their area.
According to the Anadolu Agency, they said the members of the sect were told by its leaders that their area would soon be hit with death and all the people there would die. They reportedly sold off their property and fled to Ethiopia, from where they are communicating with some of their relatives in Uganda.
‘We are investigating a religious sect called Christ Disciples Church with its base located in Obululum village in the eastern Uganda district of Serere. We started the investigations after getting information that people were being trafficked to Ethiopia since February and it is going on till today,’ area police spokesman Oscar Ogeca told Anadolu’s Godfrey Olukya.
He said the people, who number in the hundreds, were told by their leaders that death is coming soon to their area and the only place they would be safe is in Ethiopia. They were convinced that they should go and spread the gospel there.
✞ Christian Theology Lecturer Fired After Tweets On Homosexuality Describes ‘suffering And Persecution’
A lecturer dismissed from Methodist institution Cliff College after sharing his “evangelical” views on homosexuality says he was surprised by the school’s actions as he describes “a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution”.
Dr Aaron Edwards’ dismissal occurred amid the Methodist Church’s movement towards accepting same-sex marriage, which impacted the college’s doctrine on relationships.
Dr Edwards argued that maintaining an evangelical stance was crucial for the institution’s student base and heritage.
In response to the Anglican Church’s decision to bless same-sex relationships, Dr Edwards tweeted “robustly against homosexuality from an evangelical perspective”.
The tweet read: “Homosexuality is invading the Church. Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this b/c they’re busy apologising for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it’s true. This *is* a “Gospel issue”, by the way. If sin is no longer sin, we no longer need a Saviour.”
The college initially asked him to remove the tweet – he said he could not delete it in good conscience, as he believed in its message.
The tweet led to his suspension after receiving considerable backlash online, from Christians and non-believers alike. After being accused of bringing the college into disrepute, and threats to take the matter to counter-terrorism team Prevent, Dr Edwards was fired.
In an interview with Premier Christian News, he said he was surprised at his suspension and defended his tweet as a biblical approach to sin “encroaching” upon the church.
The dismissal has had a significant impact on Dr Edwards’ family, leaving them with no income. At the same time, they face eviction from their home within a matter of weeks.
He said: “We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we know God’s going to provide.
“We’re in a loving church. I’ve had so many people praying and prophesying over us over the last month, and that has been amazing.
“Though there’s been a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution, and also people attacking me thinking I’m trying to be a martyr, because I’m talking about it – and I just don’t think they understand what it’s like to go through these things.
“At the same time, my church has been right behind me, and people have been supporting us in all sorts of ways.
“We’ve got a Crowdfunder up now where we’ve asked people to if they want to contribute, I’ve got a vision for theological education in the future that I’d like to explore further, and so I think we’re going to be okay, because I just believe God’s got us in his hands.”
Dr Edwards is currently considering legal action and appealing his termination with support from Christian Concern.
💭 Clashes Erupt Outside Sydney Church Over ‘Anti-Trans’ Speech, exactly on the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel.
❖The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church honors St. Michael on the 12th of each month.
Clashes erupted between rival protest groups after LGBT+ activists blocked a church venue where One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham was to deliver an allegedly “anti-trans” speech.
Around 15 LGBT+ protestors, organised by the Community Action for Rainbow Rights, waited outside St. Michael’s Church Belfield in Sydney’s multicultural western region on the evening of March 21.
Soon hundreds of individuals confronted the group, which also allegedly included members of the Christian Lives Matter movement, resulting in scuffles and two individuals being arrested.
Bottles were also thrown at police trying to separate the groups while a live streamer was knocked over.
One Nation’s Latham condemned the violence but also said what the LGBT+ protestors did was wrong.
“They were going to block [the entrance] and deny access to the front entry to the church,” Latham told 2GB radio, saying police told his assistant to park around the back instead.
“I was greeted by mainly mothers and grandmothers who wanted to hear about school education, parental rights, and all the issues I’ve been raising during the election campaign,” he said.
The One Nation New South Wales (NSW) leader has been a vocal critic of the state’s education system, exposing young students to issues like gender fluidity and transgenderism.
“The police informed me that out the front there’d been chaotic scenes—the equivalent of a riot—where some of the parishioners took exception to the fact that access to their church was going to be blocked by these transgender protesters and they took matters into their own hands, which was wrong,” he said.
“I think blocking roads and access to the church is definitely wrong. In that setting, people like myself—a politician running for elected office—should be allowed to make his speech,” he added.
Latham said police suggested he cancel the speech, but he refused to, saying it would mean the LGBT protestors had successfully cancelled his “free speech and democratic rights.”
In a message to churchgoers, Latham said that while they may be offended by the actions of the LGBT+ activists, they should: “Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t be violent, allow the police to do their work, come into the hall, listen to the speeches, go away and make up your own mind on who you vote for.”
The right-wing One Nation is tracking strongly in several seats in the multicultural, religious, and largely blue-collar electorates of western Sydney.
“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life”
[Philippians 3:18-19]
“For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things.”
💭 Qatari World Cup Officials Trample Rainbow Flag of Brazil’s Pernambuco Region
Qatari officials caused an uproar Tuesday after mistaking the rainbow flag of the Brazilian State of Pernambuco as a gay pride flag and throwing it to the ground and trampling it.
Witnesses said that Qatari officials were incensed by the flag after Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in the World Cup, according to the news website g1.
Qatari authorities reportedly took a Pernambuco flag from the Brazilian representatives in Lusail Stadium, Doha. Journalist Victor Pereira said that local authorities took the flag, threw it on the ground, and then stomped on it.
As g1 noted, the Pernambuco flag has no connection to the gay agenda at all.
“The rainbow on the flag of Pernambuco symbolizes the union of all Pernambuco and makes reference to the diversity of those who came together around an ideal. It has been present on the state flag since 1817, the year of the Pernambuco Revolution, which made Pernambuco independent from Portugal for 70 days,” g1 reported.
“In the beginning, the arch was red, yellow and white, symbolizing the beginning of a new era, of peace, friendship and unity. In 1917, it changed to red, yellow and green,” the site added.
Along with a rainbow, the State of Pernambuco flag also includes the sun’s symbology, a blue field to represent the sky, a white area to denote peace, and a Christian cross to represent the religious faiths of the residents.
☆ The lgbtq+ have perverted the rainbow, that’s why. They don’t own the rainbow. Only God owns it
☆ Isnt it ironic that God gave us the Rainbow as a symbol he wont destroy the world for wickedness by flood, and the alphabet people flaunt their sins using that symbol.
☆ I have to wonder if the cross on the flag played a role, too.
☆ I’m guessing the cross offended them as much or more than the rainbow……
☆ And while they can put it on a flag, God put His in sky for all to see.
☆ I grew up the rainbow meaning happiness and color, now, you can’t go near it or people think you’re gay. It’s a small part of what’s being ruined.
💭 The Major Difference Between God’s Rainbow And The LGBT Pride Rainbow
The number 7 in the Bible as well as in nature show the completeness and perfectness of our Heavenly Father. The number 6, on the other hand, does not fare so well. The number is first mentioned in connection with the flood of Noah, and last mentioned with the Mark of the Beast and the Battle of Armageddon. All judgments on sin. The Mark of the Beast includes three 6’s, a complete judgement on sin. How many colors in the LGBT Pride Rainbow? You guessed it – 6.
God’s Rainbow, the one that He set in the sky as a sign to Noah, has 7 observable colors in it – red, orange. yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo.
“And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” Genesis 9:11-13
I was reading earlier how Skittles traded in its iconic rainbow packaging for a monochromatic black-and-white design in honor of LGBT Pride parade celebrations in London this week.
The candy company joined in the celebration earlier this week and handed out limited-edition black-and-white bags filled with white Skittles, with a black S imprinted on them. An all-white Skittles float was also seen making its way through the thousands of revelers during the Pride parade in London.
And it got me thinking about the a major difference between God’s rainbow and the counterfeit LGBT Pride rainbow symbol.
God’s rainbow, the one that He set in the sky as a sign to Noah, has 7 observable colors in it – red, orange. yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo. The number 7 is strongly associated with God and His perfect completeness. Please note the following about the number 7:
❖ There are 7 days of the week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
❖ There are 7 continents – Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America
❖ The Name Jehovah appears 7 times in the King James Bible – Genesis 22:14, Exodus 6:3, Exodus 17:15, Judges 6:24, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 2:2, Isaiah 26:4
❖ There are 7 Churches in Revelation – Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea
❖ There are 7 notes in the musical scale – C, D, E, F, G, A, B
❖ There are 7 colors when light passes through a prism – the three primary colors and four secondary ones affectionately known as ROYGBIV
❖ There are 7 levels in the Periodic Table of the Elements – the 7 levels of periodicity
Further, there are the 7 Mysteries given to the apostle Paul, 7 baptisms of fire, 7 resurrections, and a whole host of other 7’s. Multiples of 7 also figure into the biblical narrative: the “seventy weeks” prophecy in Daniel 9:24 concerns 490 years (7 times 7 times 10). Jeremiah 29:10 predicted the Babylonian Captivity would last for seventy years (7 times 10). According to Leviticus 25:8, the Year of Jubilee was to begin after the passing of every forty-ninth year (7 times 7).
Are you starting to get the picture? The number 7 in the Bible as well as in nature shows the completeness and perfectness of our Heavenly Father. The number 6, on the other hand, does not fare so well. The number is first mentioned in connection with the flood of Noah, and last mentioned with the Mark of the Beast and the Battle of Armageddon. All judgments on sin. The Mark of the Beast includes three 6’s, a complete judgment on sin.
How many colors in the LGBT Pride Rainbow? You guessed it – 6.
Gilbert Baker, an artist and drag queen, first created the Rainbow Flag in 1978.
Baker’s rainbow flag actually originally had eight colors – hot pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, indigo/blue and violet — but it gradually lost its stripes until it became the six-color version most commonly used today. Each of the colors has its own significance, he says: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony and violet for spirit.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LGBT RAINBOW PRIDE FLAG
The flag lost its hot pink stripe when Baker approached the Paramount Flag Company to begin mass producing them – the hot pink fabric was too rare and expensive to include. The flag lost its indigo stripe before the 1979 Gay Freedom Day Parade. The committee organizing the parade wanted to split the flag in half and fly each part from the light poles along both sides of Market Street, so it became a six-striped flag. Baker says the flag was cemented as an international symbol in 1994, when he made a mile-long flag for the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
About that Pride thing…
As a Bible believer, I always found it odd that the LGBT would call their movement the Pride movement. The Bible says that all the ‘children of pride’ have a king set over them to rule them, and that king is the Devil who shows up as Leviathan in the book of Job:
“He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.” Job 41:34
And, oh yeah, that’s the sixth place where the word ‘pride’ appears in the Bible.
💭 My Note: In Earth as it is in Heaven there are 7 Dimensions from Adam to 😇 Enoch: The 7th Man.
Actually, Muslims and Gays are both enemies of The Cross of Christ & God’s Rainbow. That World Cup fans wearing the rainbow, a symbol of gay pride and rights, face ‘harassment’ in Qatar is just another game of Hegel’s Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis Model. The fact that we never see/hear gays complain about Islam and Muslims, or never fight against them tells us they’re in fact allies in the shadows. The further you are from The Cross of Christ, the faster you fall into a bottomless pit.

💭 ‘A perverted religion, outright Satanism’: Putin attacks the West while praising Russian values | Russian President Vladimir Putin attacks the West, saying it’s ‘satanic’ and rejected ‘moral norms’ while praising ‘traditional’ Russian values.
In his speech at the Kremlin, Putin cast the conflict with the West in even more severe terms than he had previously, reeling off centuries of Western military actions to denounce the U.S.-led world order as fundamentally evil, corrupt and set on Russia’s destruction.
“The repression of freedom is taking on the outlines of a reverse religion, of real satanism,” Putin said, asserting that liberal Western values on matters like gender identity amounted to a “denial of man.”
Putin attacked the West’s liberalism, saying that, unlike Russia, it had turned away from “traditional” and “religious” values.
At one point in the speech, in which Putin announced Russia was annexing four regions of Ukraine, he asked the assembled dignitaries if they wanted “children to be offered sex-change operations,” a practice he implied was widespread in the West.
In his two decades in power, Putin has routinely promoted what he says are “traditional values” and suppressed LGBTQ rights through a number of laws and by backing ultra-conservative movements and initiatives.

Poured Out On The Cities Of Orlando And Savannah For Supporting The Evil Sodomites
Hurricane Matthew is approaching the Florida Atlantic coast and is set to be the largest storm in almost a decade. Meteorologists, weather enthusiasts, and insurance companies alike are watching it carefully, as this storm is predicted to be dangerous and cause major damage especially in the Orlando and Savannah areas:
While all hurricanes are dangerous, something about this storm is particularly unique. As scientists have pointed out, it seems to be gathering strength where it should not, as though the storm was increasing in power from an outside force and in a way not seen before:
A HUGE blob seen on the east side of Hurricane Matthew has baffled tropical storm experts around the world.
As the hurricane heads over the Atlantic towards Haiti, satellite images clearly show the eye of the hurricane on the storm’s west side.
But another large blob-like shape on the east side of Hurricane Matthew has caused confusion among meteorologists and cyclone experts.
Met Office tropical prediction scientist Julian Heming said: “The shape of Hurricane Matthew has been the subject of some discussion by experts over the weekend.” (source)
Notice the large blob on the right of the hurricane. This is unnatural for such a storm and is unexplained by science.
Florida is a nice place, but it unfortunately has become a lot like California, representing both the best and the worst that America has to offer. This is especially true in the area of homosexuality. While there are many conservative and religious Floridians, there are a tremendous amount of sodomites and immoral activity that takes place there. Given the serious moral decay of America that we see taking place before our eyes and the increasing disrespect for even the most basic of Christian morality, looking at this storm I began to wonder if perhaps, in some way, it was connected to this crisis.
The word “Hurricane” originally comes from the Taino Indians, a people who inhabited the Caribbean and parts of Florida when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. The original world, “Huracan,” was a god of evil in their pagan religion, and the natives thought that these storms were attacks from this evil diety. Interesting.
For many years, it has been popular to give Hurricanes a name to distinguish them from others. Certain names, however, are retired from circulation because they are associated with particular catastrophes, such as Hugo (1989), Andrew (1992), and Katrina (2005). This hurricane is named Matthew, which of course comes from the New Testament Evangelist St. Matthew, whose traditional sign used by the early Christians and continuing today in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches is that of an angel:
The Book of Kells, the oldest New Testament in Ireland, showing the four evangelists. St. Matthew is depicted as an angel in the upper left quadrant.
Angels -the ones obedient to God- in the Bible always play important roles in executing God’s will, both for aiding man in his struggle for righteousness and punishing him in accordance with God’s will. In the Old Testament angels appeared to Moses when he was in the desert, and the angel St. Raphael came to the aid of Tobit when he was under attack from the demon Asmodeus. In the New Testament it was the angel Gabriel who announced Jesus’ conception to St. Mary, an angel who announced to the Holy women news of Jesus’ resurrection, and it the book of Revelations it is St. Michael the Archangel who battles against the ancient dragon. Yet also in the same Bible it was angels who guarded the entrance to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were expelled from it on account of their sin, and it was the angel of death who slew by the command of God the firstborn of every living creature in Egypt following Moses prophecy to the Pharaoh about God’s impending punishment for his refusal to free the Hebrews from their bondage. Interesting.
The Bible clearly teaches that in the Old Testament whenever the Hebrews were very disobedient towards God, He would send punishments against them, many times in the forms of natural disasters. Christian history also recognizes the same, where God will use His creation to execute judgment against the wicked. While not all bad weather is necessarily a sign of sin, both sacred scripture and sacred tradition clearly note that it can be so. Now we know that Florida is an area that is infected with sin, especially cities such as Miami and Orlando, which are veritable dens of sodomy. But instead of looking at mere particularities, I thought I would ask a broader question- Is there any “homosexual” activities going on this month in either the Orlando or Savannah areas? Sure enough, I found that both Orlando and Savannah are having massive sodomite pride parades this month, especially in Orlando, which is sponsoring this very weekend as the hurricane is about to hit a massive “coming out” parade sponsored no less than with the major support of the city itself and major corporate backers:
Keep in mind, this was “Orlando Pride 2015”- last year’s parade in the same area:
How interesting it is that Matthew is set to smash Orlando and Savannah during their sodomite parades! But it gets even better.
Matthew is set to hit Orlando early Friday, October 7th, and this Friday is the Feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary. Originally dedicated by Pope St. Pius V in 1571 following the Catholic victory over the Ottoman Turkish Navy in the Gulf of Lepanto (also known as the Gulf of Preveza) that destroyed the Ottoman Navy and saved Europe from an Islamic land invasion. The Rosary, originally given by Our Lady to St. Dominic, is a meditation on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and is regarded formally as the second most powerful form of prayer in the Church subordinate only to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is used to crush sin and heresy in all its forms, and is instrumental in the conversion of the worst sinners and most hopeless cases.
The Battle of Lepanto, showing how the prayers of the Rosary defeated the wicked Turkish menace
The Ottoman Turks were known to widely practice the rape of young boys, as they were homosexuals. As we have pointed out before, Islam is anything but “homophobic,”- to say other wise is merely propaganda, as a simple reading of Islamic history and theology shows that not is homosexuality just permissible so long as the appropriate conditions are met, but even meritorious. Islam is the perfect religion for a homosexual, as it allows one to immerse his lust for sin however he desires to.
So let’s put this together.
A hurricane- the storms from an evil being- named after the New Testament Evangelist whose symbol is an angel- a messenger of God and and executor of His will among and upon men- is about to make landfall on the exact area where two massive sodomite parades are taking place and almost to the day for the largest one, and the exact day the hurricane is scheduled to hit is the Feast Day of the Holiest Prayer in the Catholic Church used to fight the most wicked of sins and heresies given by the Mother of God herself.
Coincidence? You be the judge. Personally, given America’s love affair with the worst forms of perversity, it is a sign of His anger against us for our obstinate attitude towards sin and refusal to repent for our evil ways.
You want to stop not this hurricane, but future catastrophes? Then stop sinning, especially with sodomy, as it is one of the four sins in the Bible which cry out to God for vengeance, which we are seeing now.

My note: Today is Saturday, 27th June 2015. After yesterday’s Day of rage and terror we learn that there are three groups that have currently hijacked all of humanity: White Racists, Muslim and Liberal (Gay) Extremists (Racism, Islam, Sodomism) That those terror acts occurred on the very same day globally is not by accident. Red terror in Tunisia, Kuwait, Syria, Iraq, Somalia (more people murdered there, but no media attention) and France – White terror at Charleston, in Washington DC, at the Supreme Court, in the White House. They all are from the same demonic spirit, have many things in common, do evil deeds, they hate and murder. Evil deeds made pretentiously in the name of God, hence a death committed in hatred, bears the mark of the beast. Truth is knowing that to respect God is to respect and care for all forms of life on this planet. This is the power entrusted by God to the humans, but these entities create their own laws to satisfy their animalistic lusts and needs, they speak as if they were God, go against God when they give indulgences for sin. Isn’t this the worst of all blasphemies?
[Daniel 7:25]
“He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to? change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time”
The day after declaring Obamacare magically rewritten and that the lawsuits against discrimination in housing require no proof of actual discrimination, the Supreme Court found a unicorn in the 14th Amendment.
By a vote of 5-4, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to privacy under that aforementioned 14th Amendment (adopted in 1868, when every state in America criminalized sodomy) requires that every state in America grant marriage licenses to men who want to marry men and women who want to marry women, and that every state recognize such licenses from every other state.
By this point, nobody should be surprised that the Supreme Court sees new rights in its Cheerios. As our Supreme Rulers, the Supreme Court can declare what they want to declare, since rule of law died long ago at the hands of leftist deconstruction of language. But this decision is particularly galling to those who believe words have meaning and that government is not God. The Court rejects both of those claims. Words have no meaning; they are merely tools to be used in implementation of the utopian agenda of the far-left. Government is God, a dignity-conferring institution capable of making moral that which religion teaches is sinful, logic teaches is worthless, and societal experience teaches is societally counterproductive.
Naturally, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has made it his lifelong work to read same-sex rights into the Constitution (this, after all is the man who once wrote, based wholly on the authority of the voices in his head, that the Constitution mandates “respect” for sodomy), delivered the majority opinion.
Kennedy opens by essentially paraphrasing himself in the pro-abortion case Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1989), in which he established one of his many preferred fantasy rights: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” This time, he simply says that people have a right to “within a lawful realm, define and express their identity.” Of course, the Court defines that “lawful realm” at its whim; otherwise Charles Manson would simply have been expressing his Constitutional rights. Same-sex marriage falls within that lawful realm, says Kennedy, although he fails to explain how the state not granting people a piece of paper equates to preventing them from expressing their identity. Presumably the states will now be required to give Rachel Dolezal a race-change certificate.
Kennedy then launches into a history of marriage:
From their beginning to their most recent page, the annals of human history reveal the transcendent importance of marriage. The lifelong union of a man and a woman always has promised nobility and dignity to all persons, without regard to their station in life. Marriage is sacred to those who live by their religions and offers unique fulfillment to those who find meaning in the secular realm. Its dynamic allows two people to find a life that could not be found alone, for a marriage becomes greater than just the two persons. Rising from the most basic human needs, marriage is essential to our most profound hopes and aspirations.
Kennedy quotes everyone from Confucius to Cicero on the importance of marriage. Then, begrudgingly, he admits, “It is fair and necessary to say these references were based on the understanding that marriage is a union between two persons of the opposite sex.” He adds, patronizingly, that the view that such a definition is the only definition “has been held – and continues to be held – in good faith by reasonable and sincere people here and throughout the world.”
But those people are wrong, because Justice Kennedy says so. Justice Kennedy and his brethren know that the importance of marriage rests on fundamentally redefining it, just as Barack Obama knows that the importance of America rests on fundamentally changing it. Marriage’s foundational nature is so important that it must be redefined into meaninglessness:
The petitioners acknowledge this history but contend that these cases cannot end there. Were their intent to demean the revered idea and reality of marriage, the petitioners’ claims would be of a different order. But that is neither their purpose nor their submission. To the contrary, it is the enduring importance of marriage that underlies the petitioners’ contentions. This, they say, is their whole point. Far from seeking to devalue marriage, the petitioners seek it for themselves because of their respect—and need—for its privileges and responsibilities. And their immutable nature dictates that same-sex marriage is their only real path to this profound commitment.
In other words, Kennedy and the Court now contend that the intent of those who want to change marriage is a defining feature here, and that since people are born gay, this is their only path to happiness. Presumably, if the intent of a polyandrous group were to extend dignity to themselves, that too would be acceptable, given that polyandry is widely practiced throughout humanity and in the animal kingdom as well. It is worth noting here that Kennedy’s contention that sexual orientation is “immutable nature” now places sexual orientation on the same level as race for purposes of law. We will return to this point shortly.
For thousands of years, everybody got it wrong. For hundreds of years, every American state got it wrong. Today, the vast majority of the planet’s population gets it wrong, and so do hundreds of millions of Americans.
In the idolatry of the left, we do not have the freedom to govern ourselves, nor even to rely the old God for our values and truths. Our betters will lead us. And they will grant any right they see fit, and reject any liberty they see fit, and redefine any term they see fit. Democracy in America did not die with jackboots; it died with the boredom and stupidity of an American people complicit in its demise, celebrating the circuses and the games provided by its new rulers, fat and happy in their submission. Let the parades be held; let the call go forth. By the power vested in them by, well, them, the Supreme Court and the left declare Americans husbands and husbands, wives and wives — and all of them slaves.
