The institution of marriage, as it is called by so many is not one that is in the Constituion, not does the 14th amendment apply to marriage. Now that this has been overturned in California by an activist judge who is clearly legislating from the bench, and the not the law has thrown gasoline on fire that was already raging. I find it sad that marriage, as it now stands between a MAN and a WOMAN cannot be left alone. If gays want to 'marry' then let them call it something else. I am quite tired of the gay agenda and refuse to knuckle under to this all out war on what our traditional values are and have been. What will now be called unconstituional? The progressive, socialist agenda that was planted in the early 1900s has become more than a malignancy. It has has spread throughout the entire body of the United States. I was not going to post anything on this but after reading David's article, I changed my mind.
This bring us to David Huntwork from Citizens For a Conservative Society. He also can be found at the Constitution Club. The CC is not what you think it is. The site has a wide diversity of writers who have come together to be able to express their widely divergent views.
Preserving Traditional Marriage – The Final Battle of the Culture Wars
By David Huntwork
The recent decision by a California judge to strike down Proposition 8 is the definition of an activist liberal judicial system. Marriage HAS ALWAYS been between people of opposite genders until we decided to suddenly reinvent it in the last decade or so. It is a silly thing to pretend that defining marriage as between a man and a woman is suddenly unconstitutional. What hogwash, poppycock, and sheer idiocy.
The will, and common sense, of the people is now constantly overturned by liberal judges who now throw anything out that isn’t marching along with the progressive agenda. By this definition of the constitution polygamy should now be legal as well. And who is to say that legally barring any definition of marriage that one can now come up with should not also be considered unconstitutional? It boggles the mind. What a cesspool society and culture we live in that excuses anything and everything and insists on dismantling the most basic units of culture, society, and Western Civilization. Ridiculous. Marriage is by definition, tradition, and common sense, a unique relationship between a man and a woman.
Marriage has never been anything other than between males and females. Now we are expected to accept the notion that marriage is whatever one wants it to be and defined by the whims of popular culture and liberal judges. For once marriage is something other that what it has always been, then it must become anything and everything. The same simplistic arguments monotonously repeated over and over by advocates of same-sex marriage can, and will, be used to justify multiple wives, bi-sexual trios, incest, group marriage, animal-human and adult-child partnerships, and whatever other twisted formations the human mind is capable of dreaming up.
American culture is the thermometer of where we are morally as a nation and a reflection of what is valued. To surrender on this issue is to surrender the culture wars in their entirety. Those who believe in traditional values and common sense morality have retreated and been defeated time and time again. While they may win the occasional battle, they are losing the war. Few national leaders have had the stomach or conviction to stand up for what is right. This past record and poor national leadership in the culture wars makes this final battle even more important. If homosexual marriage becomes the actual or de facto law of the land then, truly, nothing is sacred or inviolate.
The battle lines have been very clearly drawn and each and every person is going to have to pick a side. Shame on all those who have declared war on marriage as we know it.
The backlash against same-sex marriage and the fight to preserve traditional marriage is not about hate, discrimination, or a denial of equal rights. Homosexuals are not forced to sit in the back of the bus or counted as three-fifths of a person. They are forcing their lifestyle, sexual activities, and agenda down the throat of those who oppose homosexuality for a host of natural, biological, religious, moral, or cultural reasons. It is the homosexual lobby and their allies who are actively attempting to steal and redefine the institution of marriage. It is they who have emerged from the closet, taken to the streets and are attempting to snatch legal, cultural, and moral legitimacy for their lifestyle.
If there was ever a time to sally forth and defeat the barbarians of the modern age it is now. Otherwise, raise the white flag and surrender, for the culture wars will have been lost.

WARNING: This is very graphic
in content. Numerous pages from
the glsen reading list are copied
for you to read. This is perverted
and disgusting. This is who OBAMA
appointed as our 'safe' school czar
The post at Gateway Pundit is quite

look at this, read some of these, if

perversion. Some reading list!
From Brietbart-TV.com Who broke this story:
"Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings was the founder, and for many years, Executive Director of an organization called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN started essentially as Jennings’ personal project and grew to become the culmination of his life’s work. And he was chosen by President Obama to be the nation’s Safe Schools Czar primarily because he had founded and led GLSEN (scroll for bio).
GLSEN’s stated mission is to empower gay youth in the schools and to stop harassment by other students. It encourages the formation of Gay Student Alliances and condemns the use of hateful words. GLSEN also strives to influence the educational curriculum to include materials which the group believes will increase tolerance of gay students and decrease bullying. To that end, GLSEN maintains a recommended reading list of books that it claims “furthers our mission to ensure safe schools for all students.” In other words, these are the books that GLSEN’s directors think all kids should be reading: gay kids should read them to raise their self-esteem, and straight kids should read them in order to become more aware and tolerant and stop bullying gay kids. Through GLSEN’s online ordering system, called “GLSEN BookLink,” featured prominently on their Web site, teachers can buy the books to use as required classroom assignments, or students can buy them to read on their own.
According to GLSEN’s own press releases from the period during which its recommended reading list was developed, the organization’s three areas of focus were creating “educational resources, public policy agenda, [and] student organizing programs”; in other words, the reading list (chief among its “educational resources”) was of prime importance in GLSEN’s efforts to influence the American educational system.
The list is divided into three main categories: books recommended for grades K-6; books recommended for grades 7-12; and books for teachers. (The books on the list span all genres: fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, even poetry.)
Out of curiosity to see exactly what kind of books Kevin Jennings and his organization think American students should be reading in school, our team chose a handful at random from the over 100 titles on GLSEN’s grades 7-12 list, and began reading through.
What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.
We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.
We knew that unless we carefully documented what we were reading, the public would have a hard time accepting it. Mere descriptions on our part could not convey the emotional gut reaction one gets when seeing what Kevin Jennings wants kids to read as school assignments. So we began scanning pages from each of the books, and then made exact transcriptions of the relevant passages on each page.
Are we exaggerating, or misconstruing quotes that could be interpreted a different way? No: Read the passages below and judge for yourself. There’s no wiggle room. The language is explicit, the intent clear.
To be specific, the books we read were:
Queer 13
Being Different
The Full Spectrum
Revolutionary Voices
Reflections of a Rock Lobster
Passages of Pride
Growing Up Gay/Growing Up Lesbian
The Order of the Poison Oak
In Your Face
Mama’s Boy, Preacher’s Son
Love & Sex: Ten Stories of Truth
We can only vouch for what’s in these 11 books, since these are the only ones we’ve read through. Are there other books on the GLSEN reading list that are similarly outrageous? We can’t say for sure, but it seems very likely. What you see excerpted below is probably only the tip of the iceberg."
Graphic content warning! I have decided not
to post anything here but is this accpetable
to you for the 7-12 age group reading list?
Here is more hope and change you stupid
letftards voted into office!

New York fails to pass gay marriage bill. Major set back on the heels of Maine vote
New York does not pass Gay marriage
bill. This lost by 12 votes which was a larger
margin than expected. Many thought that
this bill would pass in New York. Perhaps
the American piblic is SICK and TIRED of having
this issue shoved in their face every time we
turn around. Leave marriage between a man
and women and call gay unions something
else, but NOT marriage.
updated 1 hour, 44 minutes ago
ALBANY, N.Y. - New York lawmakers rejected a bill Wednesday that would have made their state the sixth to allow gay marriage, disheartening advocates already stung by a similar decision by Maine voters just last month.
The New York measure failed by a wider margin than expected, falling 12 votes short in a 24-38 decision by the state Senate. The Assembly had earlier approved the bill, and Gov. David Paterson, perhaps the bill's strongest advocate, had pledged to sign it.
New York also doesn't allow civil unions, but has several laws, executive orders and court decisions that grant many of the rights to gays long enjoyed by married couples.
The vote comes after months of delays and arm twisting of lawmakers sympathetic to the bill but representing conservative districts. It also follows a referendum in Maine that struck down a gay marriage law before it took effect.
Immediately after the vote, gay rights advocates chanted: "Equal rights now!" Many said they weren't surprised by the decision. Most, including Paterson, said they at least wanted a floor debate and vote.
Senate sponsor Thomas Duane, a Manhattan Democrat and the Legislature's first openly gay member, vowed not to give up his life's goal.
"I'm like a dog with a bone," said Duane in his closing remarks on the floor, when defeat was becoming clear. "I wouldn't let go of anyone ... Because I don't give up. I don't know how to!"
Gay marriage is legal in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts and Vermont. A New Hampshire law takes effect Jan. 1.
"It's certainly disappointing," said Richard Socarides, a 55-year-old Manhattan lawyer and resident and former President Bill Clinton's senior adviser on gay rights issues. "I'm surprised that it was not closer. We'll have to take a hard look at what went wrong."
'My Bible stays out'
Sen. Eric Adams, D-Brooklyn, challenged lawmakers to set aside their personal religious beliefs. He asked them to remember that once even slavery was legal.
"When I walk through these doors, my Bible stays out," Adams said.
"That's the wrong statement," said gay marriage opponent Sen. Ruben Diaz, a conservative minister from the Bronx. "You should carry your Bible all the time."
Diaz was the only opponent among the 38 to speak. Eighteen senators gave impassioned speeches, often about family members who survived the Holocaust and discrimination and would want gays to be equal under law.
