We saw our social media networks light up in all colors of the rainbow yesterday. We have heard and read #SCOTUS ruling on same sex marriage. We saw joy, tears, opposition and read all of the arguments for and against the ruling.
I may start going down the slippery slope here but I ask for your patience. I will start by saying that I, for one, do not understand the LGBT lifestyle because I’m a heterosexual woman and I have not lived it. I also believe that the sacred union of marriage (in the context of Christianity) should be, as it’s defined, between a man and a woman. On the opposite end of the spectrum, from a perspective of being a free country, leaving religion completely out of the equation, that rights, based solely on the premise of our freedoms as American citizens, should be extended to all.
Men have been shacking up with men and women with women since the beginning of time. I have friends who are gay and my own cousin was gay before he passed away from AIDS in the 90s. I have friends who are already married, have adopted children and are raising families. From the looks of it, their kiddos look happy and they seem to be doing a great job as parents and pulling their weight. I would even venture to say, actually, a better job than the heterosexual couple down the street on government assistance with the unruly kids who have no discipline or boundaries and a general feeling that they are entitled to anything and everything without working for it. I enjoy reading my friend from high school’s Facebook statuses about what his son had said to him that day. The kid is a riot and I suggested that he write a book of quotes, conversations and musings. It would be a bestseller hands-down. Again, I only see things as far as the lens of Facebook because they are in Connecticut and I am here in Washington. It’s their lifestyle right? It’s not right for me. But for them it is. And from a Christian perspective, their choices and lifestyle are not for me to judge. I’m called to love them and I do.
So when I saw the White House lit up like a Fruit Loop, I wasn’t offended by #SCOTUS ruling. I was alarmed. Not so much about the moral decay of our country (shoot, look at Kim Kardashian and she likes boys) but from a security perspective. Aside from Barack Obama’s general disrespect, gloating and of course, taking all of the credit and glory for decisions passed to push the Democratic agenda and the fact that I am completely convinced that the only person in this equation he cares about is himself (sorry, LGBT community but let’s call ’em as we see ’em), we just gave our biggest enemies yet ANOTHER reason to try and take us down.
In “celebration” of #LOVEWINS, let’s look at Islam, our religion of “peace”. A mere “pussycat” compared to Christianity. According to The Gateway Pundit, ISIS tossed four gay men off the top of a highrise building yesterday tweeting out #LOVEWINS. This was not the first time it’s happened, either.
Gay men or men perceived to be gay run a particular risk in Islamic State-controlled territories. According to the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Islamic State executed at least 17 men in Syria and Iraq accused of indecent behavior, sodomy and adultery between June 2014 and March 2015.-LA Times
