Gay Marriage: The Left Seeks to Change the Laws of the Land Without Legislation.

Al Rantel, a brilliant radio pundit, one of the best in the nation, talks about the gay marriage issue on the web, and on his talk show.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling by four of the seven justices that the state must allow gays full marriage rights by May 17th raises a myriad of questions that some are afraid to ask in this time of political correctness run amok.

First and foremost of those questions is who said gays want to get married in the first place? Lets look at the numbers. The highest number of same sex households in America is ironically in Massachusetts, however even then it is under 2 per cent of all households. If gays make up five to ten per cent of the population as is often claimed, one would expect this number to be five times larger.

As distressing as the state of the American family is today with the high rate of divorce and adultery, the situation is far less stable among gays. This is not a slur against gays as individuals, but rather the reality of what occurs when you have what I call the all gas and no brake environment of male/male sexuality. I should know. I am a gay male.

To say that unfortunately the gay world is in a general state of hyper-sexuality that is not conducive to relationships which marriage was intended to foster is to put it mildly. Further, almost all of the issues the gay left claims it is justifiably concerned about like property, health, and financial partnership issues have already been dealt with by many states and can be dealt with through further legislation as needed. Such legal changes would encounter far less political opposition.

Why then the seeming obsession by the gay left and their activist judicial allies like the Massachusetts justices to force gay marriage on an unwilling public?

We need to get this issue in front of the U.S. Supreme Court a.s.a.p. and prior to the date (May 17th) on which Massachusetts proposes to start marrying gays.

Four judges in Massachusetts have set this May 17th date in what appears to be an effort to force this change in our society through before it can be fully discussed by the people and by the lawmakers.

Gays married in Massachusetts will no doubt move to other states and sue for their marriages to be recognized there, per existing laws that require states to recognize laws of other states.

In other words, four judges in Massachusetts, will have seized the power to change the laws for the whole nation, in violation of the Constitution of the United States, which holds that laws are to be made by Congress.

The Massachusetts legislature has been unable to stop this power-grab by the Left.

We must find a way to get this issue in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, prior to May 17th, and get a ruling on the legality of four state judges seizing for themselves and for the Left the right to change the laws for the entire nation.
